| A Young Jack Nicholson
Always like Jack Nicholson and some how missed this picture when he was very young and starting on a great career of acting. For some reason I did not feel like he fit very well in his role as a recruit of the California Hell's Angels. Jack gets roughed up and beaten by a bunch of swabbies in a carnival, who made the fight a Three Against One sort of battle. When his newly acquainted friends of the Hell's Angels find out, an all out war gets into progress. As you can expect, there are plenty of hot to trot sexual gals with the gang who seem to go from one guy to the next in order to please and make them comfortable, no one woman for each guy. However, there is an exception, a couple wants to make there love making official and practically drive their bikes right into a church near Las Vegas, Nevada. Just remember, this film was produced in 1967 and it was a big shocker in those DAYS !

Trivia

At the time of filming in 1966, cast members Mireille Machu and Jack Nicholson had just begun a serious relationship that continued through the making of Easy Rider. In May of 1969, she accompanied Nicholson to the Cannes Film Festival when Easy Rider was shown there. After they broke up, they remained friends and Machu occasionally would house-sit at Nicholson's Los Angeles home on Mulholland Drive during the 1970's.

Goofs

After the marriage the group is riding away from the church along the beach and a radio antenna from the camera car is visible as 2 bikes are riding down the road.

Alternate Versions

The film was refused a UK cinema certificate in 1967 and only passed in 1977 after BBFC cuts to heavily edit the fight scenes. The 1988 video version featured a new opening montage of rape and violence scenes which were not in the original cinema print, and these scenes (totalling 11 minutes) were completely removed by the BBFC as well as shots of kidney punches during the hotel fight. The 2006 Cinema Club DVD restores the punches and was pre-edited by the distributors to remove the alternative opening scene.
