SummaryA Ride of the Times
Content
The non- actor bikers in this was not the Nomads or Angels. The Angels were only in the intro. The rest of the time they were played by the "MADCAPS" of Bakersfield. Look at the patch on the others in the bar fight scene. That says the name.
I ought to know. I was and am a "MADCAP".

Preacher
MADCAPS forever

SummaryAdam Roarke has BIGGER Screen presence than Nicholson! !!!
Content
This is One of Those TRUE GUILTY PLEASURES !!! This even Seems Better then Corman's The Wild Angels Which came out Earlier, This movie shows more of the True Brotherhood of what its like to be in a Real Outlaw Biker Gang !!! There are Even real Hells Angel Alums in this film Like Sonny Barger and Adam Roarke...The Ending seems a little Hurried though, thats my only Gripe...Over all a Great Ride of a Film !!! :)

SummaryReally good movie
Content
Good image transfer... picture is sharp, colors and contrast are OK, even for a 1967 film. And it is ANAMORPHIC 16:9 or 1:85 ! QUality is there and it is even superior to a lot of DVD movies produced these days.

SummaryGenuine Choppers
Content
If you are into vintage old school choppers, this film has them. Great shots of original, real-deal bikes, not RUB material from the Learning Channel.

SummaryRumble in the Bay
Content
Classical late 60's / early 70's flick with a heavy randomness to it, not really any storyline. The bikes are cool; The Hells partying and fighting seemed like forced action, but probably generally reflective of the types of things that took place.

Couple of points: the other review above says Sonny Barger is in the movie, but only for a couple of quick shots in the opening. The lead (playing Sonny/type) is WAY too sensitive a guy to be realistic (IMHO). The ending is comically abrupt and odd. Plus the factory version I bought was tapped in EP - THE WORST possible quality and horribly grainy - difficult to watch since the reproduction was so bad. It was still kinda fun as an era piece.
