We found this movie w/ Random Movie Decider & watched it via an uploaded VHS version on Youtube. I didn't expect much from a biker movie, let alone one w/ a limited budget but what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be!
The person who wrote the script was an actual biker. Yeah, it's full of cliches, cringe moments, and a cheesy af soundtrack, but if u stumble across it, give it a shot. It shows Biker Communities and their culture. They might be tough, loud and intimidating, but don't judge a book by its cover. These Bikers are part of a brotherhood. A family. They care about each other. The main character's back story is a heartbreaker, and the gang embraces and supports him. Bad things could happen without his fellow bikers.
The story is simple. Bikers Bone & Bear are called upon to help their friend Iron Butt fend off a cartoonish bad guy wanting to take over his land. It's not just any land. It's got a beautiful marsh for a backyard. Unfortunately, Ironbutt, owes $8000 in taxes. Bone & Bear decide to throw a Bike Run to raise money for Ironbutt while the bad guys try to foil their plans. That's pretty much it.
This could have been a terrible movie, but the heartfelt friendship and loyalty between Bone, Bear & Ironbutt, as well as the chemistry between the male & female leads saves it from mediocrity. Their love story is sweet, sexy, & believable. Bikers are portrayed as positive members of the community, as opposed to Harley riding troublemakers. Sadly, the fight scenes remind me of a lesser Roadhouse. Rough & tumble punching, kicking bad guys into the air and onto tables etc. You've seen it before but that doesn't stop the film from being enjoyable.
It's not a great by any measure, but it's better than u think. Worth seeking out. I haven't seen a lot of biker movies but i bet this is one of the better ones. It deserves its status as a cult movie and I'm glad I was able to find it. 6/10.
