1971's THE PINK ANGELS really isn't such an odd duck when you think about it; after Easy Rider became a hit there was such a glut of quickie cheapo biker flicks that film makers were anxious for any kind of hook. So we were treated to evil biker gangs, good biker gangs, black biker gangs, chick biker gangs, and even a werewolf biker gang. So it cant be much of a shock that a lightbulb went off over director Larry G. Brown's head one day leading to THE PINK ANGELS, which as far as we know is still the worlds only GAY BIKER FILM.

It's all pretty tame stuff really, there's never any kissing or boinking between the Pink Angels, and aside from lots of prancing and mincing there=s no real proof that the angels are indulging in the unspeakable vice of the Greeks. I guess full on Manwich sex might have been a bit too much for the southern drive-in crowd that this thing was inexplicably targeted at. Even at this PG level I can just imagine that a lot of good ol' boys did a spit-take with their Old Milwaukee (A Damn man! This a goddamn quar movie!!?). So anyway, the P.A.s are on a cross country trip to a big drag ball and along the way have loads of confusing hi-jinks that include ignoring strippers while admiring their outfits, run-ins with mean redneck cops (was there any other kind of cop in the 70's?) And getting into squabbles with a 100% hetero gang featuring Dan Haggerty of "Grizzly Adams" fame.

As mentioned before it's all very confusing as the majority of the movie seems to be improvised and I don't think any of the cast was up to the job. So basically you've got 81 minutes of a bunch of dudes who look like the 1st 3 rows of a Molly Hatchet concert flitting about doing impersonations of the guy from the "Peter Pan" website. There's a wacky ending though; The P.A.s (In full drag) and the straight bikers all get lynched out of nowhere by some right-wing white supremacist group while some bad folk music plays us into the credits.

The message? Whether you stick anything in your butt or not, if you have a hog between your legs the man will not let you live free. Heeaavvy.

Real Americans dislike motorcycles.
