I actually saw this flick the year it was released. At a drive in theater in 1966. I was fascinated by the biker culture in southern California and I thought this movie was an accurate representation of that sub-culture. Of course who knew Bruce Dern or Peter Fonda would go on to be actors of some reputation. The opening sequence with the kid on the tricycle and Blue on the chopper is unforgettable. I went out and bought the sound track and wore it out.Whatever happened to Davey Allen and the Arrows? The scene with the oil rig roughneck and Blue with his Iron Cross was classic So-Cal redneck bashing.I loved the bikes,I loved the scenery. Watched it again a few years ago on VHS and it seemed hokey and low budget. My two teenage sons thought it was a riot.
