Tonight's Stinker: Hell's Angels '69(1969)

Tonight's Stinker Hell's Angels '69(1969) https://youtu.be/-oUZUFs6KIo?si=iNNIwg62OUg-DWQP Two brothers, a pair of '60s mods ditch their haughty hippie party at a swank hotel, head back to their mansion, where they change into their poser suits & ride out on Harleys... The next town over, they goad a car into running one of them off the road, a ruse to get the attention of some local Hell's Angels, who invite them to ride along, trade a girl for a pack of cigarettes, & talk about their next ride.... The two brothers talk the bikers into going to Las Vegas, where they plan to trick the bikers into starting a scene outside Caesars Palace while they rob the place... The heist goes off without a hitch, but afterwards, everything that can go wrong does.... Remastered audio, mostly the music & sound effects, witch distracts from the dialog at times... Lots of bikers misbehaving to fill the runtime, but starts getting tense toward the end, and the director makes good use of the dessert scenery at the end....

Tonight's Stinker: She Devils on Wheels (1968)

Tonight's Stinker She Devils on Wheels (1968) https://youtu.be/jkvglNHlpdw?si=DdjQSsfdJmuZbayy And boy, what a stinker! Plot? What plot? The Maneaters, an all female biker gang gets together for a race, & the winner gets to pick out her stud for the evening..... They go back to their pad & mayhem ensues, but the next morning, there's an issue with one of the girls wanting to go steady with one of the studs (against the rules)... Later that night, they force her to torture the boy she likes.... Then there's the matter of one of the girls completing her initiation.... At the halfway point of this movie, an all male hot-rod car gang tries to take over the abandoned flat top they use to race..... The girls kick their butts, the guys swear revenge, & some semblance of a story emerges.... The sound in this print drops out several times.... Lots of scenes of riding & love-ins to stretch out the runtime.... A plot point about one of the girls (possibly the others) living a double life as a girl next door is mentioned but never delved into.... Ends abruptly..
