Sex, violence and bikers on an action-filled ride in this raw, angry film produced and co-written by Jonathan Demme. The two stars Scott Glenn and Gary Busey, in early roles, play their parts as nasty bikers with total realism and gritty determination.

I'm a fan of Gary Busey and I know this was one of his first movies and I know this was originally a B-movie, but his scenes were few and far between and without substance. This was even a poor B-movie. I tried my hardest to find some positive quality about this movie, but could not do it. The picture quality was poor, the acting was poor, the script was poor. I gave it one star, just because some of the bikes were sharp looking. I'd recommend many other biker movies over this one. Don't waste your time.

I enjoy exploitation and biker flicks and "bad" cinema but this one just didn't do it for me, I just found this whole mess really annoying, the acting and dialog are terrible, as is the storyline and nonstop background score, I really can't think of anything redeeming this film has to offer except it has some decent actors in early bit parts, but unless you are a die hard biker film fanatic I doubt anyone will enjoy this, it would never have been released on dvd had it not happened to have a few mins of Gary Busey in it.

i got this for agift for my boyfriend. he loves the movie because it has alot of action in it.

I guess "Angels Hard As They Come" could've had some potential but it just never delivers. I've read this movie's supposed to be "hippies vs. bikers" but it's really "bikers vs. bikers with hippies in the middle". However exciting this may sound, it plays out awkwardly and even boobs, drugs, and violence can't save it. Maybe it's the script was weak, or the characters were never really developed, but the main flaw is simply a technical one; most of this film is underexposed. It's simply too dark to see what's going on.
Scott Glenn's fans probably expect some hypermacho stuff, but he mostly mumbles and seems oddly passive. This must've been an early role for him.

A lot of films in the biker genre were hastily put together and turned out rather dull, and this is one of them. It ain't no "Devil's Angels"!

This product had no voice volume at all, had it turned up all the way and was nothing.
SAVE YOUR MONEY AND YOUR TIME on this one.

Quick synopsis - The Angels have a drug deal is set up but gets foiled when the cops show up. A hasty agreement is made to complete the deal a few days later in the desert and complete the deal.

The Angels head for the meeting place. On the way they meet up with the Dragons and are invited to come party in an old ghost town named "Lost Cause" with the Dragons and some hippies living there.

The Dragons leader "The General" is somewhat psychotic; his henchman Axe isn't all to stable either.

Trouble starts when one of the hippie girls is murdered and the Dragons decide that one of the Angels did it.


Fans of 1960/70s exploitation movies will flip over this one! It's an over- the-top drive-in biker movie that glows with raw, primitive energy, rustic location shooting and a rambling storyline.

I've seen or own most of the biker films from 1965-1973 (the original era), and this one is near the top.

Like another viewer I was suckered into buying this really bad flick because of Gary Busey. His appearance comes out of nowhere toward the end and makes no sense at all, as if it were an afterthought. The cover photo of him is NOT from this film and he does NOT play a biker! This garbage has NO redeeming quality whatever. Echo Bridge Entertainment is on my "S" list!

Do not buy, stupid cornball boring noncense of a story. I could hardly get thru it.
