Movie Reviews of Hell's Angel 69
Movie Review: You know your'e not watching it for cinematic achievements....
Summary: 4 Stars
Most people with common sense know they're not watching this for groundbreaking cinema before they watch it. But anyone with a remote interest in bikes or the counter-culture will find this an enjoyable movie. It does not build character depth for every member of the Angels because its not a movie based on an AA meeting, but does focus on two protagonists, two antagonists (Sonny Barger and Terry the Tramp), and the damsel in distress. It has a plot that builds and keeps suspense, along with giving a peep-show into what the Angels scene was back in '69 (keep in mind they used the original Oakland chapter of the Hells Angels to portray themselves in this film and i doubt they spent too much time in rehearsal and in the make-up chair). The ending is esoteric in nature as was every other movie in this genre in this era (i.e Easy Rider, Vanishing Point, Two-Lane Blacktop), but it does not end with a tickle-fight. So if you're remotely interested in the genre or a mototrcycle enthusiast, this movie will not dissapoint.Movie Review: Angels Rule!
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently have gotten back into the old biker flicks I enjoyed as a kid in my small town theater. I had forgotten how good this movie is. It is a notch above the standard biker movie. The real angels are actually better actors than most of the real stars in these movies. The video image on this film is quite good and the sound isn't bad.I enjoyed the feature with Conny Van Dyke recalling her memories of the angels. It gave me a different insight to these guys. Recommended if you enjoy this type of film. Alot of fun to watch!Movie Review: A Hell's Angels Glimpse
Summary: 3 Stars
Mind you I have no 1st hand experience with motorcycle games; so, this review is merely my opinion. After reading a few books about infiltrations into "outlaw" motorcycle clubs by various law enforcement agencies and Sony Barger's own autobiography, 'Hell's Angel', I starting searching the internet for DVD's on the subject. Most motorcycle movies were really corny, poor plot lines and little motorcycle footage. I ordered this movie based on the information that Sonny Barger and a few of his Hell's Angels were appearing in it. The DVD cover really gave me doubts; however, the film itself isn't bad. There actually is a story line and some decent biking footage. It seems to portray the Hell's Angels as a carefree, if not careless, group of free wheeling bikers and babes with no sense of responsibility for anything but themselves and their freinds. It does not delve into the Hell's Angels organization or it's means of supporting itself. This is fair enough since that's not part of the story. You get some good looks at real Hell's Angels. Although they are definitely not the kind of crowd with whom I'd care to associate, the film does imbue Sonny and his club members with a certain character and loyalty. It is worth watching and I suspect I'll watch it a couple more times in the future.Movie Review: Yes, it's the real Angels this time
Summary: 3 Stars
This rather lame tale of two thrill seeking rich boys out to prove they can rob a Las Vegas Casino, and use Hells Angels to do it, would barely merit mention were it not for the fact that the real Oakland Angels are stars in the film.
Sonny Barger, President, Terry the Tramp, Magoo and Cisco, all of the Oakland chapter, and familiar to anyone who has read any of the books about the history of the Angels, are featured heavily here with dialogue and close ups and everything. Terry being the stand out.
The motorcycles range from rather stock late sixties Harleys to a custom built chopper reportedly built by Sonny specially for the film. But these bikes are only featured in the first two thirds of the picture- the final chase scene through the desert has almost the entire cast riding dirt bikes.
Overall an interesting if not great film, just to see the famous Angels, the basis for so many of the genres offerings, in the flesh so to speak.
Movie Review: Worth the money
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
