Uriah43 This movie essentially begins with five bikers from an outlaw motorcycle gang called "The Devil's Advocates" arriving in South Vietnam on a special mission to ride into Cambodia to rescue a CIA agent named "Chet Davis" (Jack Starrett) who is being held as a prisoner by Chinese communists in a heavily fortified camp behind enemy lines. Naturally, since their Harley choppers aren't suitable for the rugged terrain they are issued Yamaha dirt bikes which they modify by adding armor and weaponry. But as tough as they may be they have no idea what awaits them across the border. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I didn't have high expectations for this film and in that regard I wasn't too disappointed as both the plot and the action scenes were just plain ridiculous. As a matter of fact, about the only thing this film had going for it was the addition of two pretty actresses by the names of Anakorita (as "Kim Sue") and Lillian Margarejo ("Suriya") but even then their roles were much too limited to make a difference. All things considered then I find it very difficult to recommend this movie to anybody and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.
CurtHerzstark While watching History channels "Gangland" a program dedicated to show the origins of various crime syndicates, I got the feeling that most outlaw biker gangs were created in the aftermath of Vetnam.Bandidos, Mongol Nation, Warlocks, are just few the many notorious biker gangs that was founded by Vietnam vets. In case of Bandidios, their leader was former marine who supposedly used the marine corps as rolemodel when it came to structure, chain of command.This biker film is apparently inspired by an offer Hells Angels leader Sonny Barger made to President Johnson. Barger offered some of his men to be used as an guerrilla force behind enemy lines in Vietnam.Johnson turned him down and thus Hollywood took over the idea.Basically this film is about some very mean, violent, outlaw biker gang who are deployed in Vietnam in rescue mission of an American diplomat.But as it turns out, is not going to be easy...To be honest this just your average B-movie biker film, but it does have a few surprises up its sleeve.The director is clearly inspired by Sam Peckinpahs films, when it comes to the violence(often shot in slowmotion) but the also the main protagonists being antiheroes.Even one of this films taglines is inspired by the The Wild Bunch (1969):It's The "Dirty Bunch" On Wheels! There are also heavy criticisms against USA and its foreign policy, the way US military handles the Vietnam war. Another subject this film touches upon is the racial tension that exist in the US army.It is unusual to see that kind of material in a cheaply made b-movie and makes this film a bit more interesting then the rest.William Smith playing Link Thomas is very convincing here and plays the gangs leader very good.Vic Diaz, who always been a favorite of mine, plays another one of those sleazy characters that he was so good at.So if you like bikerflicks but want something a little different from the average then see this even though it is cheaply made b-movie its still more interesting then Twilight(2008).
Manjyot Anand I really thought there were a couple of other movies which were truly avoidable and unsaleable and this movie is the one that tops the list. i purchased a DVD of this movie thinking it to be one of the great war movies kinda stuff especially on the Vietnam topic but my adventure lasted only 15 min i bet anyone can last long the movie.the print originally is so dull as if the movie is made in the 20's .the cast is uncomment-able it's a completely useless topic hiring the gangsters or the outlaws to do a job.completely this guys if you ever see this movie you have just won an award because it needs patience in it. this is truly the worst movie ever made..
ptb-8 Sad to admit, I know, but I paid good money to see this drivel in first release in1970.......released as a double feature with GOD FORGIVES I DON'T or some other drivel, THE LOSERS as it was known in Sydney Australia saw the arclight in the glorious 2500 seat Capitol theatre, now the restored home to Disney extravaganzas like The Lion King. When I was there, this biker vs the Vietcong epic did quite good biz for 2 weeks and let us see, for the first time, a man drinking beer get hit in the guts and vomit on camera...in slow motion! This was a highlight too. The rest of this castrophe was how the US Govt got bikers to chase gooks and blow them up. 90 mins later we all stampeded to the foyer to the popcorn stand and also went to the toilet. Then we all rushed back into the cinema for another dose of claptrap. Awful. Remake? probably.
