Eddie Hice emerged in the late 1960s, making his mark in cult cinema with roles in Hell's Belles (1969) and The Mad Bomber (1973). In Hell's Belles, he navigates the chaotic world of female criminals, while in The Mad Bomber, he contributes to the gritty narrative of urban terror. Hice's performances reflect the raw energy and audacious spirit of exploitation films from this era, solidifying his place in the annals of cult film history.
Hell's Belles
When hot-headed Dan out-drives the thoroughly vicious Tony in a motorcycle race and wins a brand new bike, he sets in motion a chain of events that includes one blazing gas station and a disastrous rock slide. This is one hell of a fun movie, and probably the best motorcycle flick of the '60s after Easy Rider. The is actually an update of the old Jimmy Stewart movie Winchester '73, except a motorcycle is used in place of the rifle. Jeremy Slate, always great in these '60s flicks, is the lead and is supported by a wonderful exploitation movie cast. Les Baxter's score, next to that of Easy Rider is about the best heard in a biker flick, a perfect artifact of the period, and lots of fun.
