• Starring: Dennis Hopper, Larry Bishop, Michael Madsen
  • Summary: Hell Ride is raucous throwback to the days of the Sergio Leone spaghetti western, with a heaping helping of testosterone-fueled chopper action thrown into the mix. Writer/director Larry Bishop takes on a third role as Pistolero, head honcho of the Victors. The Victors are a group of badass bikers who are out to avenge the murder of one of their members at the hands of the 666ers, a rival gang whose actions live up to their hellish moniker. Along with his cohorts, the Gent and the mysterious Comanche, Pistolero aims to take down the Deuce and Billy Wings, the menacing leaders of the 666ers. However, a mutiny looms on the horizon when Pistolero's commitment to profit is questioned by a few of his fellow Victors. An even larger story unravels when previously unknown information about Comanche resurrects ghosts from Pistolero's past. (The Weinstein Co) Expand

    The motorcycle film genre is one that has all but been forgotten, but if any film could start the resurrection of this cinema genre's corpse, it's Larry Bishop's Hell Ride.

    Lacks sufficient substance to be of more than quickly passing interest for all but the most devoted fans.

    Larry Bishop's painfully self-conscious homage to biker films of yesteryear is a carefully crafted pastiche that doesn't miss a wild-deadly-angels-devils-sadists-revenge cliché and can't hold a candle to the down-and-dirty likes of "The Glory Stompers."

    I saw this movie yesterday and loved it. It sets out to be a modern-day grindhouse flick, and succeeds. It promises fights, blood, boobs and booze, and delivers all of them - in abundance. This movie is a lot of fun, and most critics need to learn how to sit back and enjoy the ride. Expand

    More Tarantino produced rubbish, along the lines of the Grindhouse films. Cold, heartless, pointless.

    Absolutely abysmal. 1 rating only for some hot women, but even that is generous. QT should pay to have them remove his name from this waste of time, money and patience. WOW! Expand
