Quick Answer

What is Sleazy Rider about?

Sleazy Rider is a 1973 American crime film directed by Roger Gentry about a biker gang that seeks revenge on a sheriff and his family after a controversial drug search.

Programmer's Pick

Only in ‘70s exploitation could a Coors-fueled biker orgy double as social commentary. Roger Gentry doesn’t just direct—he throws himself in front of the camera, lawman’s badge and all, for an hour of bad behavior and worse decisions.

Overview

Sleazy Rider sets its sights on a seedy stretch of Americana, where a hard-living biker gang runs afoul of the local sheriff. The trouble escalates when a female biker is intimately searched in the back of a patrol car, stoking anger and a thirst for payback. The bikers, never far from a bottle or an orgy, spiral into a cycle of debauchery and confrontation. At just an hour long, the film moves quickly through booze-fueled escapades and the raw tensions between authority and rebellion. Sleazy Rider is unapologetically frank, with an X rating and a fixation on the collision between law, lust, and revenge.
