This film begins with a young black woman (played by Margo Hope) being chased in a field by two white men who eventually end up raping her. No sooner do they finish, however, when several white women show up and proceed to beat them quite mercilessly. It is then revealed that these women belong to a motorcycle gang led by a man the name of "Speed" (Ross Hagen) who has recently been involved in a fight of his own because another man named "Turk" (Preston Pierce) happened to make advances to his attractive girlfriend "Donna" (Jill Woelfel). At any rate, once Speed and Donna finally rejoin the gang, the discussion quickly turns to an off-road motorcycle contest between several different biker outfits. Since there was trouble the last time due to the presence of the women, the decision is made to split up with the men going to the contest while the ladies ride to a nearby peaceful, hippy commune. What these women don't realize, however, is that these hippies aren't nearly as peaceful as they may seem and that once they arrive-they might not be able to leave. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was a rather strange, low-budget, biker film which suffered from a weak script, bad acting and a meandering plot. Admittedly, it featured several attractive women with Regina Carroll (as "Margo"),Vicki Volante ("Terry") and the aforementioned Jill Woelfel standing out the most. Even so, their presence clearly wasn't enough to compensate for the flaws mentioned earlier and in good conscience I cannot rate this movie any higher than I have. Below average.

A Strange, Low-Budget, Biker Film
Al Adamson's Requiem to the Biker Film
Leave it to director Al to put in his two cents worth on any genre; this time, it's biker films, thanks to the success of 'Easy Rider' (1969).
A gang of biker chicks set out to kick the scummy butts of a collection of creeps. Not a particularly flowing film. Adamson wanted to show his flair for innovativeness by presenting a 'layered' approach in his photography (not to mention some token scenes which are a bit too paralleled alongside 'Easy Rider'). OK for Adamsom aficionados and those seeking to obtain some comfy slumber on the couch on a lazy Saturday afternoon.
Vicki Volante ('Terry') has really cute boobs.
Falls short of viewer expectations.
This film was released in 1972, a year that marked the last gasp, of Hollywood's fascination with the outlaw biker subculture. Much of the story takes place at the infamous Spahn Ranch, site of the Manson cult in real life. In the film, the biker gals get mixed-up with hippie pot farmers, who live on the Spahn Ranch.
The hippies have a Manson-like guru who espouses peace and love, but is really a creepy, Svengali-like character. The biker babes come to the Spahn Ranch, after their men take to the road without them, in search of kicks. These biker women are tough, lascivious, and incredibly sexy-looking. They're like a wet-dream come to life, for many male, and probably some female viewers.
And like the biker chick stereotype, these gals are always eager to get it on, with any male in their vicinity. Some of these women even manage to force themselves sexually, on a hunky farm-boy that they spot working in a field. In the end, he's shown clearly enjoying the amorous attention of these biker girls.
Much of the film is incredibly violent. There's a brutal near-rape, of one of the biker chicks. She's rescued in the nick-of-time, by the other women in her biker gang, who proceed to pummel the would-be rapists to a pulp. It's as if the producers go overboard with the violent scenes, to prove to the audience that bikers are very vicious folks. Perhaps some of them are. But bikers are as human as the next person, and shouldn't be judged only by Hollywood's stereotypes of them.
The film doesn't deliver on it's promise, to showcase mainly the biker women. Despite the title, the women in this film are still overshadowed by the male biker characters. Also, the overall story-line is somewhat muddled, and hard to to follow at times. In my humble opinion, this movie falls short of it's potential. Viewers expecting to see a biker movie that revolves only around the female bikers, will be disappointed with Angel's Wild Women.
