You think THE MINI SKIRT MOB is going to be a group of hot, but mean biker girls. Not exactly. These bad girls are led by Diane McBain and part of her "mob" is her sister(Patty McCormick), who is maybe a little too good to hang with the group. About the only thing this mob straddles is a Honda...no Harleys. McBain feels she is jilted by Ross Hagen, who has just married Sherry Jackson. Baines is eaten up with jealousy and plans to terrorize the newlyweds. Among the mob is Jeremy Slate, Harry Dean Stanton, Sandra Marshall and Ronnie Rondell Jr. McBain is obviously miscast, Slate always seems to play a jerk, McCormick did well with what she was given and Jackson just can't do wrong in my eyes. I've been in love with Miss Jackson since seeing her many years ago on THE DANNY THOMAS SHOW. I can't really say this movie is a tease; I can say it is easily forgotten.

The name of the production company - whose product nowadays regularly features in Incredibly Strange film festivals - alone should be enough warning as to what to expect in this silly, unintentional parody. "The Mini-Skirts" consist of four girl bikers, the brevity of whose skirts is compensated by the length of their eyelashes - plus, it seems, an equal number of chromosome-challenged boyfriends. The plot mostly consists of them "terrorizing", with varying degrees of enthusiasm, the pack leader's ex-boyfriend because he is now on his honeymoon in a caravan with another gal. Much of it naturally is an excuse for shots of the females riding around the wilds of Arizona on their Triumph motorbikes. Hmmm. Wouldn't it be rather cold dressed like that, how long would those hair-do's last? You also get regular glimpses of panties. As Leonard Maltin says in his movie guidebook, those who like the title should like the film.

Shayne (Diane McBain), the leader of the Mini-Skirt Mob, has been jilted by her lover. Cowboy star Jeff Logan (Ross Hagen) left Shayne and has married straight-laced Connie (Sherry Jackson). Shayne enlists the rest of her gang to help her get Jeff back – even if that means killing him in the process.Oh, what a bad movie. This has to be the most unbelievable motorcycle gang I've ever seen. Most of the members of the Mob look like they've just spent hours working on their hair, make-up, and outfits. I've never seen women in a motorcycle gang so well quaffed. Watching Diane McBain ride a motorcycle has to be one of the funniest things I've seen. She looks so uneasy on her little bike as if she might fall over at any minute. The acting, for the most part, is just plain old horrible. McBain, Ross Hagen, and Sherry Jackson come across about as natural as McBain's piled-up, platinum hair. Logic doesn't exist. For example, if Logan is really such a champion rodeo star, why does he live in a camper that's smaller than my bathroom? The problems with The Mini-Skirt Mob go on and on.So, why haven't I rated it any lower. There are some unintentional great moments in The Mini-Skirt Mob. It's all the things I've described that make the movie at least somewhat entertaining. Just when you think things can't get any worse, they do. The scene where the trailer blows up has to be a real highlight (or lowlight, depending on how you look at these things). In a word, it's ridiculous.A couple of actors to keep an eye out for are Harry Dean Stanton and Patricia McCormack. It's hard to believe Stanton started out making this kind of stuff. He's definitely gone on to bigger and better things. As for McCormack, it was a treat to see the star of The Bad Seed (1956) all grown up.

I didn't think this movie was so bad. They had no set, no props really, and yet it served to be an entertaining story til the end. I thought Shayne was a well done evil lead lady, though she didn't seem to confident on a motorcycle, that's for sure. She did a good job at making you hate her. Her little sister was good too.For a lot of the film, I felt sorry for the bride. But at the same time, you have to remember that she and the groom only knew each other for 3 weeks before they got married. She seemed really out of place, and that was intended.It's the first time I had seen rodeo guys mixed with biker gangs, but I guess it makes sense. The scenes where people fell off cliffs were pretty painful to watch, I thought they did a good job staging those stunts.All in all, the movie was entertaining and simple. I was thinking there would be more women kicking ass involved, but really it's just one woman who bosses some dudes and her sister around. It's not about a mob at all - just one evil, overly hair-sprayed lady. However, I wouldn't want to watch it again.
