Angels Die Hard (1970)

angels_die_hard_poster_01

Angel, a member of a tough motorcycle gang roaming the Southwest, gets on offer from a major news magazine. In exchange for giving the magazine a big scoop by exposing the inner workings of his gang, the magazine will pay him $10,000. Angel takes the offer, although it means he and his girlfriend must now go on the run from cyclists looking for revenge. Along the way, they hide out with a sheep farmer, earning their keep by taking care of the farm and building a new life together.

This film doesn’t really have a plot. It just seems to meander from event to event until it runs out of movie.The pacing is S-L-O-W, and even the fight scenes are confusing and not much fun to watch. Better than “Black Bikers From Hell” or “The Dirt Gang,” but not by much.

Memorable scenes include the biker poetry reading, the spaghetti rape sequence, and the funeral oration.If you have a tolerance built up for bad movies, it’s almost worth watching. If you don’t, it will swallow your soul.
