Bikers, rednecks, and revenge collide in a dusty California showdown.
ANGELS DIE HARD
THEIR BATTLE CRY-- "KILL THE PIGS!"
Members of a motorcycle gang swear revenge after one of their number is killed in a backwater California town.
Sometimes the only thing thicker than the beer is the tension between townsfolk and bikers.
This is bikersploitation at its rowdiest: two-fisted Angels, small-town hostilities, and a sheriff stuck in the middle of a boozy, bludgeon-filled brawl. Where else can you see poetic bikers, pig wrestling, and a junkyard symposium—all while revenge brews hotter than a California sun?

Angels Die Hard is a 1970 American action-drama film directed by Richard Compton about a motorcycle gang seeking revenge after one of their own is killed in a backwater California town.
Synopsis
The next day the town is having an annual celebration of some sort that includes American flags, pig wrestling and other stuff. Next we see the Angels sitting in what looks like a junkyard, drinking beer and reading poetry, when they discover that the town rednecks have just murdered an Angel on the other side of the town line.
The Angles, with their fallen brother in a pine box, return to town and proceed to wreck a pool joint and rape a busty waitress while they smear spaghetti all over her—and themselves. But believe it or not, the bikers are the good guys in this film.
Why Cult
Classic motorcycle gang mayhem meets rural hostility, with all the fists, pipes, and attitude a genre fan could want.
The film opens with an all-out melee between the Angels and local hicks—bludgeons, booze, and bravado included.
When the Angels aren't brawling, they're drinking beer and reading poetry in a junkyard. Highbrow meets lowlife.
After a gang member's death, the Angels' revenge mission simmers under the watchful eye of a beleaguered sheriff.
