When a biker gang's fury meets an artist's sketchpad, hands—and boundaries—are at risk.
THE CYCLE SAVAGES
Hot Steel Between Their Legs... The Wildest Bunch On Wheels!
The leader of a biker gang takes exception to an artist sketching them, so he makes plans to crush the artist's hands.
Proof that in the '60s, even sketching could get you on a biker gang's hit list.
Bruce Dern channels pure menace as Keeg, a biker boss with a vendetta against anyone who dares capture more than his good side. Bikersploitation gets a raw, rough-edged treatment here, with art and violence colliding in a distinctly late-'60s American haze.
