Cultpix Radio Ep.40 - Django has Covid and We Ride Wild with Biker Films.
Show Notes

It's the big Four-Ooh Episode, so bad luck that Django Nudo has caught Covid and Smut Peddler is not impressed. Two films that were left out of last week's Women-in-Prison theme get name-checked ("Jungle Warriors" 1984 and "The Hot Box" 1972) .

Biker films is this week's theme, but while you may know "The Wild One" (1953) and "Easy Rider" (1969) some of these are so obscure that director, production year and official film poster are all unknown. Not even IMDb has this info!

Devil's Angels (1967) -   John Cassavetes is a bad biker in this Corman sequel .

The Hard ride (1971) - Vietnam war and racial issues in a biker movie that tries to make a social statement.

3 from Florida:

Savages from Hell (1968) -  Bikers, beach parties, body painting, death by dune buggy.

It’s a Revolution Mother (1970) - Authentic footage of bikers, peace protestors, and the crowd at a rock festival in this self-described "Documentary of Love" with anti-establishment rant dubbed over it.

Road of Death (1973) - Marvellously rock-bottom, R-rated, shot-in-Florida biker/revenge flick so cheap and sleazy and amazingly godawful that it’s a sick delight from beginning to end.

3 Dirty Ones by A.Non:

Hard riders (1970s) -  Mix hardcore sex scenes with footage from an oddball, R-rated biker flick and you get this oddity with Rene Bond.

Bad Bad Gang (1970s) - Jane, Eve and husbands Kane & Able (!) drive to Garden of Eden campsite, but are assaulted by a Bad Bad Gang of bikers called The Cobras.

Sex Bikers (1970s) - Motorcycle gang called The Pigs wear jackets that declare, 'Pigs is beautiful.'  Vanessa del Rio pulls a steel chain out of her... well, like a rabbit out of a hat magic trick.

(Dig the Dragon Art Theatre disclaimer!)

Oldies:

Teenage Devil Dolls (1955) - Quasi-documentary style teenage crime drama.

Girls from Thunder Strip (1966) -  It's male bikers vs. female bootleggers.

Acid Eaters (1968) - A bunch of 9-to-5 working stiffs who become drug-crazed bikers on the weekend!

Ride Hard, Ride Wild (1970) - Fake 'Danish' biker sexploitation film. 

Black Angels (1970) -  White motorcycle gang vs. a black motorcycle gang.

Hollywood Man (1976) - Film crew shooting motorcycle stunt epic v. the Mob.  Features a gang of psycho bikers. Because it's the 1970s.

Plus Motorkavaljerer (1950).

Music was key for Biker films, so we have an extra juicy Spotify playlist and end with 'Born to be Wild' - sung by Kim Wilde!
