Veteran AIP genre star Larry Bishop (son of famed Rat Packer
Joey Bishop) directs and stars in this gritty revenge tale concerning a biker gang that rallies to avenge the violent murder of a fellow gang member. A homage to such classic biker films as
Chrome and Hot Leather and
Angel Unchained, Hell Ride was conceived when director Bishop was invited to
Quentin Tarantino's home to view a print of
The Savage Seven. Upon realizing that there hadn't been a true biker film in years, the pair quickly contacted
Bob Weinstein and conspired to produce a lean and mean two-wheeled revenge flick that would more than make up for lost time. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
