Astrid Warner emerged in the late 1960s, showcasing her talent in the gritty world of cult cinema. She plays a pivotal role in The Glory Stompers (1967), where her character navigates the chaotic landscape of motorcycle gangs. Following this, she appeared in Hell's Belles (1969), contributing to the film's exploration of female empowerment in a male-dominated genre. Warner's work culminates in A Bullet for Pretty Boy (1970), where she further solidifies her place in the annals of exploitation 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.
