I saw that Eileen Davidson from 'The Young & The Restless' was starring in this movie & I got excited b/c Ashley Abbott is one of my favorite characters from the y/r. This movie put me to sleep several times before I could finish watching it. I will not be fooled again. Glad Eileen didn't make a sequel.
... View MoreBetween Evil Dead 2 and Darkman, the Raimi brothers wrote this film. It is supposed to be a parody of those biker films playing at the drive-ins in the 60s - the Airplane! of biker flicks.The leader of the Bourne Losers Bruce (Paul Le Mat) and his buddies are looking for another group of bikers known as the The Woman of the Wolves, led by She Wolf (Eileen Davidson), who are being suspected of stealing babies and selling them on the black market.It's a comedy for fans of the Raimi's. The doo wop version of Rock of Ages made it all worthwhile.How do you know it's a parody? Easy, all the biker chicks look like they stepped out of Vogue.
... View MoreThis is not your typical biker film. It is not your typical film period. The closest parallel would be the makers of Airplane or Police Squad do a biker film.The leader of the Bourne Losers biker gang, Bruce (Paul Le Mat) is often so eloquent that his buddies don't understand what he his saying. They are trying to stop the The Woman of the Wolves female biker gang whose leader, She Wolf, was raised by wolfs after her parents abandoned her is in the woods while being chased by the police. The Woman of the Wolves are stealing babies and selling them to the black market.Needless to say much trouble ensues and it is a field day for one liners, zingers and stuff you would not normally see bikers doing. Like a female biker beating a male biker after he took the baby she stole and she delivers the line "Never take a baby from Candy" while she also delivers a beating.Not a bad film for 1989 and it will make you laugh. Check it out if there is nothing else to rent at blockbuster, you need to fill out your Netflix queue or it is on cable.
... View MoreNot even Hell's Angels' wild women in hot leather could save this from burning rubber on the road! EASY WHEELS stands out okay as a satire of biker / exploitation movies, and not as stupid or sleazy as you'd expect from the late 60s. Still, I'm not gonna get all hyped up about smutty women who prove their sense of superiority over the male crowd, nor the tough men wanting sexual desires over the women. The movie seems told on two different points of view here, making this very incoherent. Are the producers really too afraid to make a true feminist biker flick? It worked well for SHE-DEVILS ON WHEELS, only on a sleaze state of mind. Biker movies, on the other hand, have seen their day, and although this appeared to have revived the genre a while back, it stales on anything new and original. Not bad, but this wasn't my can of beer. Look for Ben Stein as a church minister.
