Angels Hard as They Come

Also known as Angel Warriors. This is Jonathan Demme in his exploitation days for Roger Corman. Long before his independent movie days with Orion Pictures.Demme did not direct this. He co-wrote this with Joe Viola, the latter is the director. Viola went on to have a strong track record writing for episodic television shows.Scott Glenn is Long John. Part of a counterculture drug dealing biker gang. They party with a group of hippies in a old ghost town after hooking up with another biker gang.When a hippie chick is raped and murdered. Long John and his gang are blamed by the General (Charles Dierkop.) He plans to torture them and then kill them.They escape which then leads to a showdown with the General. Also find out who did kill the girl.The movie is really a western with biker gang tropes. You know Long John is a good guy at heart, one of his gang members is black.The General wears a German pointy helmet, some of his members have names such as Lucifer.This is not a great movie. It follows the low budget exploitation genre. Violence, women dancing topless. Fight scenes.Glenn has charisma is an early role. Gary Busey features as a hippy.Scott Glenn and Roger Corman would later join Demme in the Oscar winning The Silence of the Lambs.

hippies and bikers

There is not really any story here although the bikes are rather lovely and the girls. It is a shame that there is so little of bikes on the road together and it is more in the ghost town where the hippies are there for the time and then the desert. Certainly the bikers are convincingly sleazy and dirty but they don't really have much to do. The only action is with the girls except for a couple of races that don't go anywhere. So the girls are fine and get to dance and take of their tops, then one gets raped and killed and another tied up threatened with fire but it is really not enough because the guys are either acting or over acting. I'm sure that Jonathan Demme as his first as producer role and writing is okay but I don't thing he was really into Hells Angels although he would go on to have a wonderful time directing.
