The wife exclaims, “We’re going to be raped!” but the biker gang pays them no mind, and the couple drive on. The scenes don’t have any flow and jump around without reason or real continuity.Īs an example, a couple on vacation drives through The Hell Riders’ territory, and their car is surrounded as they drive on. The script, which is all over the place, doesn’t help them. The stand-ins are used for long shots, or where the audience can only see their backs. Most of the scenes involving the actual actors are in close-up. One does not need a sharp eye to see that many of the scenes involving their characters, Doctor Dave and Claire, are shot using stand-ins. To keep costs down, Adam West and Tina Louise filmed all their scenes in one day. The budget limitations are readily apparent. Even for an early 1980s exploitation movie, the plot is paper thin. The Hell Riders are rude, crude, and violent, and don’t let anyone get in the way of obtaining their prize. A vacationing couple, a member of the main biker gang assigned to keep The Hell Riders in check, the local sheriff, and anyone in the town who stands against them. The Hell Riders attack anyone who comes across their path on their way to Claire. Luckily, the town is protected by Doctor Dave (Adam West), a perpetually jogging local doctor who knows how to fight and is handy with a gun. Claire escapes to a nearby town, but The Hell Riders soon follow. THE MOVIEĬlaire (Tina Louise) is driving along and minding her own business when a biker gang, The Hell Riders, ambushes her. Vinegar Syndrome revs up this 1984 movie that hasn’t seen a release since the early days of VHS. Low budget, biker gangs, Adam West of Batman (1966-68), and Tina Louis ( Gilligan’s Island)? Sounds like the perfect combination for a classic slice of exploitation filmmaking. Grab your weapon of choice, join your gang of trouble-makers, and watch “Hell Riders”, the weird and sleazy exploitation offering from Vinegar Syndrome.
