Easy Wheels (1989)

Excellent adaptation.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I saw that Eileen Davidson from 'The Young & The Restless' was starring in this movie & I got excited b/c Ashley Abbott is one of my favorite characters from the y/r. This movie put me to sleep several times before I could finish watching it. I will not be fooled again. Glad Eileen didn't make a sequel.

Is it a biker flick? Is it about boys and girls gone bad and the consequences? Nope...it is a deadpan, play it for straight comedy that will have you rolling with the dialog is not the basic premise. SPOILER:The whole concept of the biker girls stealing babies to have the females raised by wolves while the boys (useless) are sold on the black market and the male bikers quest for a truly good light beer should tip one off that they have entered a surreal world the Raimi brothers alone could create. The jail scene with the male bikers would be worth the price of admission alone to hear them try to pass themselves off as a traveling gospel group and then breaking out in a dynamite version of Rock of Ages!The girls are hot, the story a hoot. This is a classic for this type of film. What makes it even funnier is that all the performers go at it as if doing Shakespeare....dead serious!If you watched My Three Sons as a kid you might recognize Barry Livingston (Ernie the adopted son of the later years) as an reporter traveling with the male bikers.Pop the corn and settle back for a fun ride.

The baby stealing plot is really just a ruse for a movie about an all female motorcycle gang. The black leather clad ladies are all thin, attractive, and of average height. Certainly, capable of beating up an equal number of bigger, heavier men, including a bike joust. The ladies do have an edge, an endless supply of can bombs, with pull strings. So far, so good. I actually seek out this type of stuff. However, the movie is rather boring through out. The low budget compromised the highly edited (fake) action scenes. It should be noted, and not as a negative, that the movie is very tame as the women remain fully clothed, the violence is of a cartoon nature and the language is acceptable. I am suspicious of the honesty of the number of high votes for this film. Maybe they are just desperate for a biker chick movie and will like anything. I can accept that, but please watch the not boring Chopper Chicks in Zombietown instead.

Not even Hell's Angels' wild women in hot leather could save this from burning rubber on the road! EASY WHEELS stands out okay as a satire of biker / exploitation movies, and not as stupid or sleazy as you'd expect from the late 60s. Still, I'm not gonna get all hyped up about smutty women who prove their sense of superiority over the male crowd, nor the tough men wanting sexual desires over the women. The movie seems told on two different points of view here, making this very incoherent. Are the producers really too afraid to make a true feminist biker flick? It worked well for SHE-DEVILS ON WHEELS, only on a sleaze state of mind. Biker movies, on the other hand, have seen their day, and although this appeared to have revived the genre a while back, it stales on anything new and original. Not bad, but this wasn't my can of beer. Look for Ben Stein as a church minister.
