Wild Angels Opening Sequence

[friend4un1974]

been there do that anit life grand

[unitedfisk]

Peter Fonda is the coolest movie "hero" ever.....

[kissmyass6579]

I saw this movie when I was a teenager,it changed my life forever.

[GordonMorrice]

The Glory Stompers is now available as a burn-on-demand DVD-R from MGM. Great 2.35:1 transfer and good sound.

[ElectricGuitarManPL]

This is a shocking and definitely not political-friendly movie. Really fuckin love this film!

[GordonMorrice]

Love the Swastika-styled "T" in the on-screen title! You'd never get away with that today.

[Slowscrew8u]

I used to have the soundtrack album...loaned it to my brother in law & it vanished...

[BOVMAN55]

Remember making my mother take me to see this as I was only 12 at the time and at that age you had to be "accompanied by an adult" They had a "chopper" in the lobby, that bike almost made me quit high school!

[jeffk228]

Hey, SHILO750....... I have the original soundtrack, also.......... and I DO have a turntable. SOME things you just never let go of! ROCK ON !!

[Templeoats]

Fonda & Sinatra. was a tween when this came out .. we all wanted to be bikers after we saw 4 or 5 times at the drive in. One of the best songs of the 60s

[PIERPILING]

ah yes, roach clip on lapel and iron cross around neck, those were the days !!!!

[hookalakah]

Yeah, Supertzar, the first part was shot in the Venice canals, before they were gentrified by Matt Groening types with their three story McMansions on postage stamp lots. The oil derricks were between Playa Del Rey and El Segundo Beaches. This is a real SoCal movie.

[AltamontKiller]

ive been Badassed big time

[santy983]

que linda esa epoca

[SHILO750]

wow...I'm getting old. I actually have the original album from the Wild Angels. It has all the sound tracks on it from the movie. (I don't have a turntable anymore.. :(

[THECountZakula]

FACT: this country went pussy on 9/11 camel-humpers in caves in Afganniland..not..it was 3 piece suits in Bilderbergland, Wallstreet and upourassesland...this movie said fuck the fuck off! Lot's of us still mean it. We're older now...but we still shoot straight...and you trained some of us to shoot real good! Long Live The Country We Shall Defend............I TOOK AN OATH...no expiration date......God Bless Our Country and It's Constitution.....and our Freedom of Speech and Song and Film!!

[MrGuy0045]

love the theme easy rider was better movie

[pimpninja1985]

Peter is beyond badass.

[8ntnomo]

I wish someone would post "The Wild Angels Ride Tonight" by "The Visitors featuring Barbara". It's from the movie. I don't have it.

[akbill2]

Classic. As an 11 years I was taken by this. There is a new band called Batusis who cover this.They are former new york dolls and the dead boys.

[bikebeerrun1960]

In june 1967 my dad bought this movies' soundtrack album . I still have it and love this music !

[gethepicture]

Isn't she the gal gnawing chicken bones in 'The Trip'

[HEMPOIL69]

Springer forks

[Supertzar999]

I'm trying to make out where it is he's riding. Looks like he's going up Venice Blvd, connecting with the 405 and ending up in Long Beach somewhere. Looks familiar but different then.

[ZombiedustXXX]

@Supertzar999 From what I gather the opening scene was filmed in the Venice Canals. I wish I knew the locations of the oil rigs, but it sure as hell looks like the Long Beach/San Pedro area of the time.

[LousFool]

Peter Fonda was perfect for this movie. I saw it as a teen, was mad about him!

[snubbs741]

does anyone know where I can watch this online??? the Stagevu link I find never works

thanks

[snubbs741]

nevermind it's working now

[jaytmtb]

wild hogs was funny too, ha ha

[leerider52]

Who built bike for the movie....

I wanta build that bike for myself ...anybody tell me where to get stills of the bike???

[StGeorges]

@leerider52 : Ben Hardy, a black mechanic from South Central L.A built that bike. He also built the bikes from Easy Rider.

[Murphy3637]

My steady squeeze and I saw this movie when it was first released in '66 . Still the best Biker movie . We were riding a Hog back then too.

[SLVRBLLT40]

AltamontKiller, Czechmater, both of you brain surgeons are wrong, the damn word is spelled SWASTIKA

[GordonMorrice]

This movie has tremendous raw power. It's also hilarious at times. Fucking amazing score by Davie Allan and the Arrows. Far superior to the pretentious, art-farty Easy Rider.

[standupbassfiend]

I agree this movie is better than Easy Rider!

[bettydaw1970]

@GordonMorrice

Easy Rider isnt pretentious or "arty farty"

im guessing u just dont "get it"

both movies are great...except nancy sinatra asking blue "whats the matter" about a dozen times..

[todazed2confused]

@GordonMorrice there is nothing wrong with easyrider ....nothing

[GordonMorrice]

@todazed2confused "Arty-farty" isn't what I would say today regarding Easy Rider. I love the movie.

However, as with all movies, it has flaws. But what doesn't?

Hey, I love Tom Petty too! "Runnin' Down a Dream" is one of the most liberating songs I have ever heard. Do you like Neil Young?

[quincee33]

@GordonMorrice Neil Young is a Canadian treasure!  Those goons in Lynyrd Skynyrd owe Neil an apology.

[GordonMorrice]

@quincee33 Kid Rock owes that band an apology!

[quincee33]

@GordonMorrice good point.

[JLWing77]

@quincee33 That tone deaf douche owes Lynyrd Skynyrd and everyone with musical taste an apology.

[quincee33]

@JLWing77 lol, he's got great hair!

[todazed2confused]

@GordonMorrice Oh yeah i love neil young!

[AltamontKiller]

well its about being shocking and badass the swaztica is not an evil thing its just people freak out to much like in a movie if a white guy kills a black dude its automatically called racist these days

[Czechmatey67]

Stop being a dick...The Logo of the National Socialists "Not evil" FFS -Hells Angels and others use it to be offensive quite deliberately.

[AltamontKiller]

if you think its all evil and shocking than they did there job right

[Czechmatey67]

No- I don't think it's evil. The Nazis were evil...dressing in their borrowed tat...is just stupid.

[AltamontKiller]

yeah nazis were monsters but the swaztica not

[Czechmatey67]

P.S. You can't spell -the word is "Swastica" you dumb cracker.

[AltamontKiller]

i like crackers there pretty good with nacho cheese i love it

[Czechmatey67]

Oh sorry _ I meant the other sort: the ones with dirty sweatpants living in a shack married to their cussin, comparing badly spelled tattoos kind.

[AltamontKiller]

white trash is the right word

[Czechmatey67]

Two words. What school didn't you go to?

[AltamontKiller]

a Special school

[19555591]

man we gotta bust it out!!!

[random1978]

great movie!

[dapoetmaster]

One of my favorites.

[ZombiedustXXX]

Much of the Nazi symbolism the early bikers gravitated to, was the direct result of there being hundreds, if not thousands of "Army/Navy surplus" stores in the USA after WWII.

It was natural for early bikers to grab a handful of old iron crosses for a couple of dollars, to piss of "the man".

Army/Navy surplus stores were wonderlands of cool stuff! Literally TONS of old Nazi era metal "trinkets" were stacked in wooden bins, and old ammo cans across the USA.

[dublinboyo]

Hey! Shake that kid some more and he just grow up to ride a motorcycle! I know I did.

[Lowiewarrior]

Nazi symbols on bikers come from the earliest days of the subculture, when veterans returning from worldwar 2 began forming the first motorcycle clubs, they brought them back as souvenirs....

[TheElectricHeat]

the swastika kinda became a symbol equivalent to two middle fingers up for a while there. I guess before neo-nazism gained any steam

[termit88]

cool intro, but whats with the swastika at the beginning?

[Uejichyan]

イージーライダーよりカッコ良すぎて申し訳ありません。

[19555591]

Love the Blue Dragon bike

[19555591]

really where is it?

[hookalakah]

In true Roger Corman style--it was shot on the Venice Canals.

[baptisto]

this is the best opening scene to a bike movie ever,,,,,

[RowanMartin68]

that little kid probabily grows up to be a Hell's Angel...

[madmetal]

i still have the original 33 1/3 record . i can

remember listening to with my friends getting

drunk and high. i loved the way the bike looked and

sounded . in '69 i got a '49 pan chopper.i can

remember riding rodes that no longer exist.

it's all different now.

[Haydz01]

madmetal-  shut up fool, your only 21.

[madmetal]

So you assume only one person uses this account. Brilliant, yet you too are only 20, fool.

[Haydz01]

well most people assume one account gets used by one person. its stupid then if someone else uses it too because it creates dilemas like this.. but i bet urs is just used by one person anyway. PS, i know im 21 but u were the one acting as if ur not, so the arguments about, you not me.

[madmetal]

Well that is just an assumption. I mean, why does someone need to create an entirely new account just to make one little comment? I still don't understand why you were checking my profile and information out just for some irrelevant debate you're highly misinformed on. Until you can base something on accurate information rather than assumptions, mind your own business.

[Haydz01]

i checked because ive noticved lately that allot of peopel have been leeving comments that are complete bull, people pretending they are who they arnt. u should have said 'my mate told me this-' instead of it looking like it was you.. anyway we both have points to make, good day.

[oakie1010]

owned

[TL250Rider]

Great Movie

Venice California

Just a great Song

Now that Part of Venice loks Like Balboa Island Thank you for this great listing

[blann25]

Easyrider was made in 1969 wildangels 1966 both are good flicks.This was also my first 45..Does anyone remember what song was on the other side of this 45? I bought my first harley at 18 was a 47 knuckle.ahh those were the days.

[byrdmaniac1983]

"bongo party", a tune without drums. You can find both on the great comp "Devil's Rumble" which has all the great 60's recording from Davie Allan and the Arrows, A MUST!

[mugwump007]

It's Davie Allan & The Arrows and the song is "Blues Theme". If you look at the related videos you can see them play the song live.

[Bluemerlin32]

The Chocolate Watch Band also did a version of this - but the bike at the beginning sounds more like a Norton Commando - equally as nice. Can't play it without wanting to get the bike out for a blast! Still sooo much fun after all these years.

[kneeinpain]

@mugwump007 

[kneeinpain]

@mugwump007 Thanks for posting this. I went looking for exactly this film clip to find out the song and artist, and you did me one better by posting the whole opening sequence. Thanks.

[budsaplenty]

great flick,, what band did the opening song?,, bad ass riff! still jams

[TSapkaroski]

This is a excellent movie and it was the first time I ever saw this movie and it rocks. I saw it on TCM- TURNER CLASSIC MOVIE CHANNEL!

[friterbird]

I have the LP Framed and on my wall! I was nuts about this film as a kid went home and started my own bike gang. Does anyone know if it is available on dvd? Would love to have a copy. Ride On Blue!

[ehswan]

But then there is the sky. wild blue sky. no cops sky. no insurance sky. No one but you sky, alone in all of this sky. Get into it, you'll like it. SKY RIDER, CLOUD DANCER, actually, cheap vodka, cheap beer and cheap wine, but someday...

[jhrunion]

davie allan:

fuZZ master general!

[doyawntsom]

I saw this movie when I was 12 years old, I went home put a swastika on an old sweat shirt and joined t Nazi party, started smokin pot at 13 and treating woman as sex objects. got my first motorcycle at 17 and became a biker/ drug dealer outlaw served hard time by the age of 28 .What a wasted his life all because I seen this as an impressionable child and wanted to be like blue, know what? after seeing this for the first time in over 40 years ... I would do it all again,thanks peter fonda.

[chrissept21]

is this like a sequel to easy rider with was a fucked up movie btw but it was a good movie cuz i understand where there comeing from

and with movie does peter say "ride hard of go home"

[kiddFairfaxx]

"We want to be free..."

Classic.

[chetta61]

i saw this movie when i was a kid i thought he was cool as hell i put a varroom motor on my bike and would hum this as i pedaled along and oh yeah the girls had to call me blue

[dogterd]

check out the VROOM motor ads on youtube, if you have any trouble finding them there's one in my favourites... the kids look like little Ramones on those bikes.

[8aPeach2]

I saw this movie at the drive-in about 5 times. I even bought the soundtrack album....still have it.

[karl131313]

Ride hard. Die free

[goat69]

This was the very first 45 that I ever bought, still have it to this day.....ahh the memories.

[dumbass55]

Davie Allan King Of Fuzz!

[peacepipe634]

looks like he uses the same bike in easy rider instead its black

[mugwump007]

Hey peacepipe, you better take another toke and look again. This bike is blue with a black dragon on the tank (it was called Snapdragon) and the only things it has in common with the Easyrider bike is they are both panheads with upswept fishtails, medium high handlebars, and tall sissy bars. This one's more of an old school bobber and the Easyrider bike is more of a chopper.

[trosse54]

I remember the first time I saw this movie. Does that still the best. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be heard.

[tntcaliente]

I saw this at the drive in with my folks !

Hope netflix has it

[poughkeepsiejohn]

How many movies has Dick Miller done with filmmaker Roger Corman, anyway?

[dogterd]

Check out Cycle-Delic Cinema for a run-down on the Classic Biker movies.

[jhrunion]

davie allan is the fuzz master general when it comes to the guitar. davie is the coolest!

[ZodiacAsesino]

Yep they look pretty good . It would be nice if they were still there. Elect Obama and there will not be any left in Texas too! He'll have us in Mini Cooper's with a sail on it !!

[CharlieManson1969]

From 2.34 to end...Remember those "eyesores" south of Los Angeles...they don't look so bad now...do they!...

[greenecycle]

Kudos 98virago, I'll never forget those lines. And right on dogterd, was best thing on Speed Channel, sux now. First time I saw this movie (I'm old) I figured the little Hollywood squirt must be a real rider when at 2:49 he reaches down and adjusts his nuts. Just like Steve McQueen in the Great Escape, removes the cap on his Wehrmacht "Triumph" and sloshes the gas to check level. Something only real bikers do. "We want to be free to ride our machines without being hassled by the man!"

[AntiMercyDude]

You dont fuck with fonda?!

[dogterd]

goddamit I wish Speed Channel would bring back Bruce Dern's "Drive In Classics" on Saturday Nights. I loved that shit. "hells angels on wheels", "the losers","Grand Prix" ... and all those old intermission snack bar spots. These B movies and the drive in culture are underrated. They are a glimpse into a special period in American Cultural History.

[jhrunion]

yeah, the lost drive-in was great! every time something comes on tv i like it never lasts!

[98virago]

hey man we found your sickle its in mecca.far out man wheres mecca?

[mugwump007]

It's Davie Allan & The Arrows and the song is "Blues Theme". If you look at the related videos you can see them play the song live.

[flatoutrockandroll]

This is the theme Little Stevie uses on Underground Garage too....this movie is really cool...but i can't remember the group or song on this one...anyway..
