Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

tavm This was yet another of the obscure werewolf movies I recently discovered and unlike some of those others, this one deserves that obscurity! I mean, it's just pointless blather among friends whether at a diner, the desert, or a former church where satanic rituals are performed. While there are some killings where a werewolf seems to be the one responsible some of the time, that creature is not really seen until nearly the end. I did like some of the songs playing on the soundtrack but that's it. So on that note, Werewolves on Wheels is not recommended.

O2D With a name like Werewolves on Wheels,this movie had the potential to be great. But it's the exact opposite.It combines all the worst elements of biker movies and THE worst acting ever. A third of the movie is them riding in the desert while some crappy hippie music plays.Sadly,that will be the best part of the movie. Anyway,this movie is about a homeless motorcycle gang that likes to beat up really old people,when they're not rolling on the ground and hugging each other. So they go to some satanic church and just lay down in front of it.The satanists come out and give them wine and giant Ritz crackers.They pass out and the leaders girlfriend dances naked for the satanists.The bikers wake up,beat up all the satanists and leave. People start dying and they assume it's the satanists so they start to go back but then the leader turns into a werewolf(he even looks like a werewolf when he's in human form). They quickly and easily make torches and chase him on his motorcycle,set him on fire and he crashes and explodes. Then they go back to the satanic church to eat and drink more. Stupid.

BA_Harrison Werewolves on Wheels is a wonderful title, conjuring up images of snarling wolf-men astride gleaming chopper bikes, the wind whipping through their hair as they ride through the night. Unfortunately, there's nothing remotely like that in this z-grade piece of drive-in crud that blends the popular 70s biker and Satanic horror genres to terrible effect.The film starts with biker gang the Devil's Advocates fighting with rednecks, drinking, smoking dope and generally having a wild time. After a while, they head out towards a strange looking church where they are confronted by monks, who give them bread and wine; when the bikers have finished eating and drinking, they all pass out and the monks conduct a Satanic ritual. One of the biker women gets up and joins in with the ceremony, stripping off and gyrating with a snake and a skull. Then the rest of the bikers wake up, have a scrap with the monks, grab the naked bird and leave.In the desert, the bikers continue with their debauched lifestyle (drinking, loving, repeatedly chanting 'Oobla doobla') until a couple of them turn up dead, seemingly attacked by wild animals. The rest of the film sees the gang building a few fires, drinking some more, arguing, fighting, sleeping, rolling down a sand dune in slow motion, searching for their friend Movie, and collecting wood (for another fire), before a couple of them are finally revealed to be a werewolves (and rather ropey looking ones at that). One of the werewolves does hop onto its bike to be chased by the bikers, but the whole scene is too dark to properly make out what is happening.The terrible ending makes very little sense. Everyone gets dirty faces (Hells Angels with Dirty Faces) and the monks show up for a little more occult nonsense. To be honest, I'd given up trying to follow what was happening long before.

reptilicus Way way back in 1971 this movie played on a double bill with SIMON, KING OF THE WITCHES. No I did not see them back then, I was only 6. Now I have both films on VHS. When I heard WEREWOLVES ON WHEELS was now out on DVD I wondered if I wanted to upgrade my copy so I went up to the attic, dug out my old VHS print and blew the dust off it. Three days later after the dust had settled and I could find the door I went downstairs to watch it again.Yes it is still a fun film but don't expect to see too much of the title character(s). Most of the film deals with a heck-raisin' biker gang called The Devil's Advocates. They tear through small towns scaring the bejeebers out of the plain 'ol country folk, have mini orgies in the back of their van and guzzle beer until the collapse in the dirt. Pretty much they behave the way a scriptwriter believes a biker gang would behave. Anyway, this particular gang makes the mistake of making a pit stop on land belonging to some monks. The brown robed, Gregorian chanting group offer the bikers free bread and wine which you just know is doped. When the leader Adam (Stephen Oliver) wakes up he discovers the cowled ones have spirited his old lady Helen (D. J. Anderson) away to perform a ritual to make her Satan's Bride. Well this does not sit well with the gang who promptly kick some monk butt and rescue Helen. So all is well now? Far from it!Things go pretty much back to normal until the next full moon; that's when the bikers start turning up dead. Their bodies are ripped apart like . . .well . . . like some wild beast had gotten to them. With their limited intelligence the bikers think the monks are following them, ah but the answer is worse than that!For a movie that is 2/3rd's biker film and 1/3rd scary movie WEREWOLVES ON WHEELS is not all that bad. The low budget really shows though, especially when it comes to the victims. One slow motion closeup of a throat-ripped corpse falling into the camera is repeated twice! Oh sure, the editing is tighter the second time but you can still tell it is the same scene from earlier. When we finally get to see the werewolf the makeup is pretty effective; sadly the growling of the enraged beast is nothing more than a 10 second loop that is played over and over again on the soundtrack. The wolfman ultimately leaps on a Harley to escape the torch wielding bikers for a chase scene that lasts less than a minute. At least they justified the title.Performances are okay. Stephen Oliver is best remembered by TV buffs from the old series "Bracken's World" where he played an angry-young-man type under contract to a movie studio. Severn Darden pops up as "One" the leader of the Satanic monks. He can also be seen in BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES and CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. A nice surprise is singer Barry McGuire in a dramatic role. He was a one-hit wonder in the 60's with his song "Eve Of Destruction". Watch for former child actor Billy Gray ("Father Knows Best") far less squeaky clean as a member of the biker gang. Deuce Barry walks away with much of the film as Tarot, a card reading mystic who predicts dangers for the gang which, in true movie tradition, nobody listens to until it is way too late.It was kind of fun watching this movie again. So will I get the DVD version? Well sure it is letterboxed and remastered and all that but I also discovered I kinda like my VHS print with the splices and emulsion scratches. It looks just like a print that might have run in some seedy grindhouse in a bad part of town all those years ago. No, I will keep the print I have. It is worth far more to me in memories.
