Amazon.com: Made in 1969 and 1970, respectively, these movies exemplify all that was good and bad about biker culture of that era. In Hell's Angels '69, two thrill seekers join the Hell's Angels with the plan to use them as cover for a daring robbery of Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. The Losers is even more bizarre. Also called Nam's Angels, the film focuses on a group of bikers hired by the U.S. government to rescue a special agent in a Cambodian prison. The portrayal of the bikers is similar in both movies. They are hard-drinking people who love to get into fights, are loyal to each other, and hate cops/military police. Oh, and they're white supremacists. Both movies contain bikers wearing Nazi swastikas, and both movies have some racist banter used as throwaway lines. Despite that, the films are worth recommending as good examples of genre biker films. Hell's Angels '69 has some fascinating shots of Las Vegas before the Strip was fully engulfed in neon, and The Losers is just plain weird. Both movies are obviously influenced by Easy Rider, particularly with their endings, and capture a time in America when things were obviously not going right. --Andy Spletzer
THE biker movie with real bikers and no meat byproducts If you watch this movie and enjoy it. Youll have to read Sonny Barger's books. Its a great movie about some seedy underhanded clowns from my HOME TOWN Salem Massachusetts who cross the BIG RED MACHINE. And it will show you that IF YOU DONT F WITH THEM...THEY WONT F WITH YOU. The LOCAL 81 original crew guys did a great job in being themselves. And even the guys today are good guys. Buy this movie and read sonny's books.
Hell's Angle 69 Pretty lame. I am supprised that the Hell's Angles let this thing go to press. It's not even a "want-a-be" be biker flick. A more fitting title would be "Little Bikers (house) on the Prairie"
Worth the money If you are interested in seeing a lot of the real deal Hells Angels, this is the movie. Sonny Barger and Terry the Tramp are stars here, and you see a lot of the others as well. Lots of Bikes too. The plot was interesting, and the movie was good entertainment. I personally liked the ending of the movie.
Defective DVD I tried to watch this movie on 3 different dvd players. Would not play on any of them. I bought 2 of the dvd players new within the last 9 months. I even tried it on my computer that has a dvd burner and it just locked up the program. Be Warned!
Okay but not great............. The Angels did better acting than the actors! They did their own Moto-X stunts,because they fell in the desert a few times and stuntmen would'nt have fallen.I think if the main characters would have stuck to DIRECTING/producing only and not acting/directing/producing, it would have been a lot better made. It was a little mellow and they party much harder than this depicts.It's about a C+ movie,rent it or borrow not really a keeper............The artwork on the cover is cool.
