More realistic than many think!
I really enjoyed this film. As a former rider with a "club" in the 1970's, I remember those times and people with an insider's view. Contrary to all the Hollywood "biker" movies, this film is a far better representation of the experience of being a club member during that period. The desire to "just have fun", and tweak the insecurities of the "straights" without really hurting anyone, is right on the mark. Also very accurate is the tendency to do things without considering any negative consequences. Hollywood has taken 5% of the "biker" lifestyle, and portrayed it as a continuous confrontational, violent existence. Masters of Menace accurately reveals the other 95%, and the sometimes childish enjoyment of the experience. It brought back lots of good memories!
Cult Movie?
I dont know if this movie would be considered a cult movie. But I know that it is hilarious. Myself and all my friends all love it. It's one of those movies you catch at some odd time on cable and get pulled in watching it.
Bad, but fun
I enjoy a good bad movie now and then. This one is pretty hit or miss in the humor department, but John Candy as the beer truck driver is pretty funny.
I give it a three, but it has its moments.

I must be honest and say it's bad, but if you like bad cheesy films, it's a must see.
Masters of Menace, which at least has a somewhat appealing title, is one of those films that some might categorize under the dubious "Worst Movie Ever" section. It is however, quite hilarious, intentional or not.
Masters of Menace is about a biker gang on a trip to Las Vegas for a funeral. While getting there they stop at strip bars, play cat and mouse with the cops, and raise mayhem everywhere they go.
The acting and editing are unbelievably bad, and the jokes and pranks are so forced it's impossible not to laugh at. Without looking at their filmography's, I would guess most of the actors in this film had brief acting careers. After looking at the actors filmography's, I am truly amazed they've all had lengthy careers. They must have improved their skills, because they all look like novice's in Masters of Menace.
I did in fact enjoy Masters of Menace, but I also enjoyed Mac and Me, and both are very very bad movies. So bad they're funny.
Masters of Mayhem is a laugh riot no doubt.
2 out of 10 objectively, 8 if you enjoy cheese and bad films.

Funny movie!!!
So many times I missed the beginning of the movie, which is actually the most important part! It gives the basis for the whole cross country adventure of the Masters Of Menace. Regardless, the beer truck scenes are worth watching this movie alone. Poor John Candy, poor brother Gypsy, but hurray for the Beck's Beer truck! Kudos, and enjoy! It's been a while since I've seen this flick, but as stated before, the cameo's are worth it. This movie was a great bridge between the classic 80's comedies, to kinda what became of Hollywood in the 90's. Now if only Chevy Chase could have somehow made a guest appearance. Again, as the other user stated, not the best of any particular realm of acting, but it is indeed worth some great laughs.
