Plot? What plot? Oh yeah, so.....
A young black biker plans to become leader of his gang by killing the leader of a white gang, but after a ridiculously long chase, he's killed in a crash.... He takes the boy's "colors" back to the black gang & tries to smooth things out & goes back to his own gang.....
Meanwhile, a stranger shows up posing as a stereotypical southern racist who wants to join the gang... One gang member is suspicious of everything about the guy, while the leader thinks he's okay....
At that same time, a local cop visits each gang & convinces them that the other is about to move in on their territory.....
Amusingly, this movie uses pretty much every cliché I've ever heard of, with lots of long drawn out scenes of rides & bad music.... Only exception, there's a central figure who's not really a protagonist... None of the characters have any redeeming qualities.....

Back when there were only a few TV stations in the world, a scientist invents a way to broadcast around the globe without the need for repeaters & before the invention of satellites.... Of course, businesses & governments everywhere want to get their paws on this new doo-dad, but the scientist wants to keep it....
Then, during a live, worldwide demonstration, he dies, and the movie turns into a head scratching who-done-it...
About an hour long, with choppy editing, and a pair of ethnic house servants who live up to antiquated stereotypes...
Been meaning to watch this for years, & now it's over with...
Gonna try & make it a twofer tonight!

Chinese TV movie
An old man sends a boy into a cave to sacrifice a donkey to a giant centipede while he mines some of the gold in the cave walls.... The boy then goes to the city to sell the gold, which gets the attention of a few thugs...
Next up, we're introduced to an eclectic group on a train trip in the 1930s.... While passing through the mountains, they learn part of the track is missing... The train wrecks & only a few survive the plunge...
After passing through a valley infested with foot long flesh eating centipedes & deadly booby traps, they end up at the village of the old man, who has no intention of letting them leave....
Most of the characters aren't too bright, the plot is mostly predictable, & now I have a headache....

A space fairing horse trader delivers a cat to a bar at an asteroid.... In return, he's given a suitcase with the DNA of a "real live girl", which he later learns he must deliver to Jupiter (an all male colony), in exchange for a sixteen year old boy, who he must deliver to Venus (an all female colony), and then he'll be set for life....
Things take a turn when it's revealed the narrator of this story is really the murderous Professor Hess, who's in a mean mood after nobody remembers his birthday.....
Artsy black & white, with lots of insider jokes and impromptu musical numbers from indy artists one might expect from a Penelope Spheeris film....
Pretty weird, but watchable.........
