Movie Reviews of Angel Unchained/Cycle SavagesMovie Review: outlaw bikers on a crime driven rampage ! Summary: 4 Stars
MGM's latest installment of the Midnite Movies gives us a double feature of late sixties biker films. In Angel Unchained, biker Angel gives up his colors to go on his own. On his way to finding himself he runs into A couple hippies hassled by some goobery dune buggy people. Of course he takes the hippies' side because one of them is a young Tyne Daly, and next thing you know, the fight over the lettuce patch begins at the hippie compound to the point where Angel's old bros need to be called in (note: in the pacing of the film he finds them awful fast... were they around the block pretending not to follow him, or what?). High points are the Aldo Ray scene as an older sheriff presiding over a parking lot brawl, and Daly as the love interest- she had that street smart timbre to her voice even back then which lends a credibility in the scene of her botched attack. Flippin the disc, we have Bruce Dern in "Cycle Savages", a much smaller and more soundstagey (read: cheap) film than "Angel Unchained". Dern hams it up to the point where I think that perhaps they told him the plot and he just impovised his lines- it's a fun thing to watch. This film is so bleak it would make Hubert Selby, Jr. drink Clorox. There is A likeable character in this film, and even he comes off as a dolt. A starving artist draws a bunch of biker sketches (hello:dum idea) and they decide to come up with a way to hurt him by having a mongolian cluster and raping a girl with an ice cream cone. (...no, excuse me. She's having an ice cream cone and they take her back and rape her. That would just be sick.) So, anyway, they come up with an idea for hurting him at the same time the bike gang's leader is using the downstair's neighbor as a tail for the artist because her sister is being sent down the road of brain control and depravity by the leader, but she's falling in love with the artist...you see where this is heading. So, "Angel Unchained" is a much better film of the two, but you'll like "Cycle Savages" if you like your soap operas with a good chain whupping time and again (I'd like to see that on "Days of Our Lives". Thanx.
