Easy Wheels (1989)

Is it a biker flick? Is it about boys and girls gone bad and the consequences? Nope…it is a deadpan, play it for straight comedy that will have you rolling with the dialog is not the basic premise. SPOILER:

The whole concept of the biker girls stealing babies to have the females raised by wolves while the boys (useless) are sold on the black market and the male bikers quest for a truly good light beer should tip one off that they have entered a surreal world the Raimi brothers alone could create. The jail scene with the male bikers would be worth the price of admission alone to hear them try to pass themselves off as a traveling gospel group and then breaking out in a dynamite version of Rock of Ages!

The girls are hot, the story a hoot. This is a classic for this type of film. What makes it even funnier is that all the performers go at it as if doing Shakespeare….dead serious!

If you watched My Three Sons as a kid you might recognize Barry Livingston (Ernie the adopted son of the later years) as an reporter traveling with the male bikers.

Pop the corn and settle back for a fun ride.
