She Devil's on Wheels (1968)

Where do I start with this masterpiece? Let’s see first I noticed the club was called “The Maneater’s” so why the film was called “She Devils on Wheels” I’ll never know. Their vests or patches come in multiple colors with a cartoon like cat that sports large cartoon like fangs. Whew scary! Not one single female actress and I use that term loosely went anywhere in Hollywood after making this flick. That’s not surprising since I’ve seen kindergarten plays with more powerful and realistic acting.

This movie is about an all female biker gang that races weekly trying to win the chance for first pick from the stud line. You see these rough and ready biker chicks regularly abuse men for sex. They parade them in the “Stud line” as they referred to it in the film. Then each female member would choose a man, have sex with him and that was it. You find out later in the movie that the club bi-laws don’t allow for any emotion and we all know women are oh so capable of that. The farce drones on with the women beating up men and terrorizing the locals in town; even stealing the ice cream cone from a child. How edgy was that? Its ridiculousness continues with a man dragged behind a bike as a means of punishment. They are at war with the local male car club why no one knows. Later they throw in some frightening barroom intimidation along with some wild and crazy limericks that pop up too many ties for my taste.

The women rang in age, shape and size with continuous wardrobe changes. The styles from the hair to the clothing scream the nineteen sixties but this movie could even give that a bad name. When I found the film I thought "hey maybe this might be fun or funny" but it was neither. What it was, was lame and boring and as stupid as it could possible be making everyone look like complete idiots.

The film did have bikes two Harley’s, several English bikes with some Honda’s thrown in for good measure. That and the riding scenes which were lame as well were the only part’s of this flick that made it biker anything. I won’t give away the unhappy ending with the particularly awful special effects in case any of you are so hard up for something to do that you actually watch this dog.

I give this one shot out of six to put it out of its misery!
