Nuke the Werewolves,
By
This review is from: Golden Age of Leather V2 (VHS Tape)
I haven't seen Girls on the Road, so I will restrict my comments to Werewolves on Wheels.Made on an entirely inadequate budget, a bunch of bikers stumble around and cuss on film, antagonize a group of devil worshippers and then are turned into werewolves at the end. Keep in mind you don't get to see the werewolves until the last few minutes of this picture and that scene is at night so the scene is too dark to understand that the bikers have been turned into werewolves were it not for the title. I assume most people would rent this hoping to see werewolves ride around on motorcycles for most of the movie and the filmmakers don't deliver the groceries. The bulk of the movie is nearly plotless and the actors don't seem to have scripted dialogue. Given the cost of 16mm film, I am at a loss to explain why a producer would allow the director, cast and crew to put so little effort into this project and although I admit they were savvy enough to put a little violence and a little bare breast in the movie, it doesn't really compensate for the other 89 minutes of boredom. Looking at the reviews of other z-grade movies, I can see that some people are interested in movies that are inexcusably bad, and I must admit, that having been made in the 1970's, Werewolves on Wheels has a certain appeal to it that the filmmakers didn't consciously make an exploitation movie like we saw in the 1980's with movies such as Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, where films were made that seemed to be aiming for cult status. So in short, if you like bad movies, go ahead and give this one a shot, but I, for one, was not entertained.

Nice letterboxed transfer of this drive-in flick,

This review is from: Girls on the Road (DVD)
The new Scorpion DVD (released in 2010) is far superior to the old VHS release of the film from the 1980's. The DVD is anamorphic widescreen, and has a couple of extras: an interview with the screenwriter and a trailer preview.My four-star rating mainly pertains to the new DVD itself. The movie is fun enough, but not a drive-in classic. It was released in 1972 under the title HOT SUMMMER WEEK, and then later retitled GIRLS ON THE ROAD. The girls only spend the first half of the film on the road, so the retitling is a bit exploitative (wow-a drive-in movie being exploited?). One of the girls is played by Kathleen Cody, who mainly played "the girlfriend" or "the cute girl" in some Disney comedies. It's fun to see her get a little trashy in this film, and a nice change from her normal goody-two-shoes personna. Those who enjoy films like THE YOUNG GRADUATES (1971) and THE YOUNG CYCLE GIRLS (1978) would probably like this one, too.

can't wait to see it,
By anna d. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Girls on the Road (DVD)
I'm giving it 4 stars for the simple reason that my grandfather plays the gas station attendant. He was just an Arkansas farmer who moved to California to open up a seafood restaurant (Neptune's Net in Malibu) when he was spotted and asked to be in this film. I'm very much looking forward to watching this sort of "cult classic" movie not only because it looks hilarious (supposedly really bad acting), but because I get to see my grandfather, Starlyn H. Young; I never got to meet him because he passed before I was born. I'm SO glad I found it on DVD!
