My rating: 6/10

Will I watch it again?  No.

This is not your typical biker flick.  The picture starts off with the gang pulling a heist at a farm feed plant or something somewhere in Arizona.  They hide out in the wilderness for a while to stay out of sight of the fuzz (who are using helicopters), then they head down Mexico way.  There they get mixed up in a battle with some Mexican biker gang who takes the Gringo's women to prostitute them out.  Now the two Outlaw Riders are alone in the wilderness of Mexico looking for their broads with no weapons or transportation.  I wish I had a better copy than the shitty VHS print that's dark overall.  That was a real drag because I would've enjoyed this flick a lot more if I could've at least seen it better.  The night scenes are so bad you have to use your imagination with the audio.  What's even worse is that because of that I might've missed some nudity.  The last few minutes are balls to the wall insanely great.  It's probably the best ending to a biker flick I've ever seen.  And then the movie has full on end credits that play for a couple of minutes.  Few movies did that before this one but it's still a rare thing by '71 and for a low budget biker flick.
