This Seventies flick is a chill hang on the beach with some pals having BBQ, snorkeling, chilling by the fire…and then a motorcycle gang shows up! At first they’re just obnoxious gorks but things escalate quickly and before you know it we’re in a remake of Sam Peckinpah’s Straw Dogs only with more motorcycles. Raw, ruthless, and made by one of the angriest directors in Hong Kong (who reportedly forced injured stuntmen to finish their shots before sending them to the hospital) this is a 60mph wheelie smack in the middle of your face. Dubbed in English to travel the American drive-in circuit, this print has taken a beating but that just imbues it with those authentic grindhouse vibes.
