Summary: 4 Stars
If you're into old B movie biker movies, I highly Recommend Wild Angels. It's a pretty fun romp of a movie and I'd suggest that you be akin to bikers to want to own this, as it's sure fun to put on during parties and watch the "Wild Angels" play with dead people, tear down churches, etc. This is nostalgic from when the actual Hells Angels were consulting the movie industry for a fee $$$, but nevertheless, it's highly entertaining and fun to watch.Movie Review: Wild Angels DVD

Summary: 3 Stars
Oddly, though the characters in this movie are all dispicable individuals, in some ways, I could still find myself sympathizing with their rebellion against "the man". This movie definitely has more of a '70's feel to it than the '60's, and holds up well today.I will admit, I did find the use of the swastikas and iron crosses to be offensive. But, I think such individuals in the '60's used them more to shock those who tried to control them, than as a support of what they truly represented...and to have realism, they had to be included.
One technical aspect to the movie...and two to the DVD on which I need to comment:
1. Did the movie always end so abruptly, with no closing credits or even a "The End" caption? Or is this poor editing?
As for the DVD...
2. The print from which this movie was taken was in terrible condition. At some points the picture is beautiful. But others show dirt, hair, and sprocket marks. Worst of all is a tear in the film, patched with tape, which is readily visible. This occurs in the scene in which Sinatra has just entered the door of the hospital, and the camera is panning over to the nurse's station.
3. There also seem to be some areas of the film which are out of focus. I primarily noticed this when Nancy and Peter are talking alone on the boat before leaving for the funeral.
All in all, this picture can be viewed more as a snapshot of an era than as pure entertainment. If taken as such, it proves somewhat interesting.
