I bought this movie for my collection of 60's biker flicks and rapidly became sorry that I had. Thinking that Dern and Ladd were somewhat acceptable in the thoroughly enjoyable "The Wild Angels", I decided to give them another try with "The Rebel Rousers". The title implies an exciting biker romp but after watching this, instead of excitement, I felt complete numbness...What dialog there is seems adlibbed, makes no sense, or is hard to understand, the supposedly Mexican people, which the small town is populated with look remarkably Causasian and have the worst phoney accents I've ever heard (they were so bad it wasn't even funny), and the bike scenes are rare and poorly planned. Everything about this movie was poorly planned... I should have been warned by the advertised plot, knowing that the bikers would be scheming on a pregnant woman, but I didn't expect her to be 8 months pregnant....I'll bet the actors who played in this movie are mortified that it can still be viewed... I thought that Hells Belles was the worst movie I had ever seen, but this one has just taken it's place, making Hells Belles seem like a pretty good movie in comparison. Save your money or you'll be really sorry.

Hilariously bad! I love old Drive-In style biker flicks and this one is even worse than She-Devils On Wheels. A real gem of bad editing (the music is so loud at times you can't hear the dialogue), poor acting & blatant ad-libbing. This movie must have taken a whole week to make. All the bikes are Triumphs but Bruce Dern reads from a Harley-Davidson Service Manual. I loved Nicholson's prison striped pants with the dirty seat and a hole in them. I laughed my but off on this one.

Rebel Rousers is one of the many so-called "Outlaw" biker movies from the late sixties and early seventies. Interesting only, because it shows a young Jack Nickolson, who started his carriere in bikermovies, for which he does not want te be remembered! What can I say? It is amusing, but you forget it after watching!

Bad Bad Bad.
I love Nicholson, and I like biker movies.
This was a waste from start to finish.
910 movies in the collection, and this is the #1 worst one.

I like the old bike flicks,this one is so-so,There are better ones.If you can buy it cheap,it is worth it.

Man, what a bummer! Jack Nicholson, Bruce Dern, Diane Ladd, Harry Dean Stanton, Cameron Mitchell - with a cast like that in a biker movie, you'd think it would be great. Very little chopper scenes, and the bikers' outfits looked like they were grabbed from a thrift store. Biker chicks? - Forget about it! There were a couple shown briefly, with one stripping down to, dare I say it - her bra! The storyline is the typical bad boys getting out of hand - with one grabbing a straight guy's pregnant girlfriend after beating him up. I won't give away the ending - in case someone just has to buy this barker.

This has got to be one of the cheesiest biker films ever made. The plot is thin, and the acting reminds me of a grade school play. I bet Jack Nicholson and Bruce Dern are regretting they were ever involved in this film.

this movie is for people who want to collect biker b-movies, not for those looking for great acting, story, or production budget. so, there are some nice bikes worth seeing here and the plot is silly enough to have fun with. definitely a cheap thrill and i'm glad to have it in my collection.

Where are all the Harleys? Back then we rode Harleys because they were cheap and parts were as near as the next filling station.

good biker movie with a young jack nickolson. it might not be for everyone. but i enjoyed it
