Angels from Hell
Angels from Hell is a 1968 biker film directed by Bruce Kessler and starring Tom Stern and Arlene Martel.[1] It was the first film produced by Joe Solomon's Fanfare Films, a firm Solomon had created with the profits from three previous biker films. The film was shot in Bakersfield, California.[2] The screenplay was written by Jerome Wish, and the film used music by The Peanut Butter Conspiracy and The Lollipop Shoppe.[3] Sonny Barger, president of the Oakland, California chapter of the Hells Angels, is credited as story consultant. PlotA former motorcycle club leader, Mike (Tom Stern), returns home a war hero from Vietnam to resume his life, and reunite with his former motorcycle club. Finding they have left their former Riverside, California home base, Mike meets them in Bakersfield, California, now riding under the leadership of a new president, Big George. Working with his former gang, Mike takes over the club from George, and moves into their biker farmhouse, owned by Ginger (Arlene Martel). Running up against opposition from Sheriff Bingham (Jack Starrett), who had an arrangement with George to "keep the peace," Mike sets out to use all his experience as a hero from the war to unite all the existing motorcycle clubs in California to create a brand new, "super outlaw" club. Skirmishes with the sheriff's department deputies break out, and the conflicts culminate when Speed (Stephen Oliver), one of Mike's gang members, is stopped on fake possession charges, and murdered when he tries to escape. The trouble intensifies when an all-out cop-against-biker war breaks out.[3] Cast
