    Angels Hard As They Come (1971)

    Share
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    Scott Glenn – at his most stoic and sullen – plays Long John, a biker who gets invited with fellow members of the drug-dealing Angels bike gang, Juicer (Don Carrera) and Monk (James Inglehart), to a ghost town called Lost Cause where the Dragons motorcycle gang are partying with some local hippies.

    Unfortunately, a hippie girl is raped and murdered and Long John and his Angels pals are accused by the Dragons’ sadistic leader The General (Charles Dierkop of Police Woman fame) and face a kangaroo court.

    The Angels are found ‘guilty’ and sentenced to torture and eventually death.

    Monk escapes and alerts the rest of the Angels who turn up to kick some Dragons ass.

    The supporting cast includes a young Gary Busey as an unlikely hippie, biker regular Gary Littlejohn, Vanishing Point‘s nude motorcycle girl Gilda Texter, James Inglehart (Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls), and Janet Wood (who featured in the unforgettable naked knife fight with Raven De La Croix in Russ Meyer’s Up!)
