A Classic From The High Priest Of BreastPlotation Russ Meyer, April 28, 2005
High priest of "breastploitation" Russ Meyer entered the biker film craze of the mid-1960s with this hyperactive tale of rape and murder in the California desert.
Alex Rocco is Cory Maddox, a veterinarian whose wife is defiled by a rampaging trio of moped-riding miscreants led by Brahman (Stephen Oliver), a crazed Vietnam vet.
When the local sheriff (played by Meyer himself under the name "E.E. Meyer") claims that his wife invited her attack, Cory plots revenge on the hoodlums.
Trailing them into the desert, he finds Ruby (Haji), a Cajun woman whose husband has just been killed by the gang.
As the two gain on the homicidal trio, the gang begins to break apart, leaving Cory and Ruby to face-off against the violent, gun-toting Brahman.
The lurid MOTORPSYCHO, is bursting with innuendo and sexuality, driving the film into carnal overdrive.

ughghghghghghgh... why is this virtually out of print ???, November 2, 2006
This review is from: Motor Psycho / Good Morning... and Goodbye! ( Motor Mods and Rockers / Rio Vengeance / Motorpsycho ) ( Confessions of a Sexy Supervixen / The Lust Seekers ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.0 Import - United Kingdom ] (DVD)
O.K. in all honesty MOTOR PSYCHO isn't one of my favorite RM flicks. its basically the film that came before Faster Pussycat... Faster Pussy was a remake, but with an all gal gang... and wound up history... But poor Russ... apparently it bombed at the box office, so back to the nudies... kind of...
Good Morning and Good Bye has a lot of the rock and roll campyness of FAST PUSSY... only the (revealed) big boobs and overt sexual content are back... (of course its Russ style sex... meaning hillariously funny.) - - I like to think of it as Bunuel w/ Boobies.
This film (in glorious color) is about a MENAGE-a-errrr... 11... but mainly the story of a husband and wife who have a bad relationship... The wife is a swinger, and sleeping around with everyone because her husband (played by Stuart Lancaster, the old man from Faster Pussy) isn't - - up to the task. The problem is she has a hot step daughter and everyone wants to sleep with her (she's only 17 - - jail bait) - - and step mommy's not too happy... Meanwhile, Haji (who's looking her most hot and exotic) plays a - - lady of of mysticism and nature who has a magical solution that's bound to prove that 50 ain't old... its just the start of things.
John Waters was a huge RW fan... and he claims that the RM chicks influenced a lot of the chicks in his film... in fact, if you're a JW film some of the dialogue will really sound familiar...
Featuring RMs hottest cast... the film drags a bit in the begining (there's some funny Ed Wood type narraration) - - but once it starts rolling, its rolling with some pretty mega-groovy dialogue - - Overall, a dramatization about the battle of the sexes as only Russ Meyer could imagine it... What it lacks in the sharp camera shoots and fast pacing of Pussycat, it makes up for in great lines (I won't spoil 'em - - they're so well delivered its best to hear) - - and it doesn't hurt when they're coming from the mouth of one of Russ's all time hottest discoveries, Alaina Capri. (Oh and a very young Don Johnson is in it too... but don't hold that against the film!)

FORGOTTEN CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE, January 5, 2000
One of Russ Meyer's sublime masterpieces, a tale of revenge and murder in a small desert community.Alex Rocco is perfect in the lead, and Haji is an excellent sidekick.Fits with Mudhoney and Faster Pussycat as Meyer's trilogy on the evils of violence.
