Wow! All I can say is glad this was billed as an action comedy because comic it was; I didn’t say funny. This is an Italian/Finland made film and I suspect many of the actor’s lines were dubbed. This skewed view of biker life in the 1960's is so outlandishly ridiculous there are almost no words to describe it.
The movie is about a one percent outlaw club called “The Cannibals”. The joke is they really eat people. Ha ha that's so funny; Yea right. They are pursuing a member called “Bad Trip” for breaking one of the clubs many rules. It goes on and on with no actual background sounds seriously none at all. That in it's self is too strange but it gets stranger. The lead played by Dominic Gould has one weird encounter after another while he's on the run. First with a drugged out hippie dippy brother moving on to an AK-47 carrying, female bank robber, finishing off with some greasers and punks who kick his sorry ass. Now there's one hell of a storyline for you.
With club members sporting nicknames like Bad Trip, Zipper, Candy, Seeker and Darling it made you wonder if the writer had ever actually met a real three piece patch wearing biker.The acting if that's what you call what these folks did in the film sucked with a capital "S". The clothes were however as whacked out as the movie. One of the club members wore a striped prison outfit covered by some raggedy poncho that his patch was sewn onto. Yea like you see that everyday.
There is virtually nothing good I can say about this film with the exception that the bikes were actually Harley’s and were authentic to the era, circa 1967. Also the patches were done better than most. They were three piece and true to the times were on denim cutoffs rather than sewn onto leather vests which are popular today.
This was painful to watch so spare your self. It's what I get for buying a movie that sold for a buck! I give this one shot out of six only because they actually used Harley’s.
