(1970) Angel Unchained SOCIAL COMMENTARY DRAMA/ ACTION

Produced, co written and directed by Lee Madden from American International pictures responsible for a number of low caliber unmemorable biker movies this happens to be one of them. It stars Angel (Don Stroud) along with his motorcycle gang waiting for a brawl with another rival gang at an empty carnival fair. And during the brawl, Angel happens to spot his best friend, Pilot (Larry Bishop) is in trouble and he saves him, and it was at this point police cars start showing up and everyone runs with both Angel and Pilot escaping together. And during their private moment hiding in one of the empty train compartments, Angel then hands over his boss jacket reigns over to Pilot for the intention of experiencing something different. And by the time Angel reaches to the next town with only a single sheriff, it was during then he witnesses discrimination. Which as soon as he takes his gas from the only gas station in the town, and by the time some hippies show up to fill up is when men with cowboy hats step in to prevent them to take any. Angel with the owners dismay then steps in to fill up their Dodge A100 anyway. And as a result of this good gesture, Angle is then invited by both the driver and the lady passenger to come and join their commune. The leader of the commune his name is Tremaine (Luke Askew) and it is not long before Angel falls in love with the commune members, Merilee (Tyne Daly). And it is not long before there are harassed by the men wearing cowboy hats riding their dune buggies and wrecking their compound/ garden. During this scuffle, Angel manages to injure one of them with a pitch fork, we find out are lead by Tom (Jordan Rhodes) and his best friend, Dave (Peter Lawrence). And during the commune's meeting they then try to convince Angel to involve his biker members as protection, but angel resists. One can pretty much be able to predict what happens next with disastrous results that makes no sense whatsoever leaving viewers with another ambiguous ending.
