Synopsis

A biker gang visits a monastery where they encounter black-robed monks engaged in worshipping Satan. When the monks try to persuade one of the female bikers, Helen, to become a satanic sacrifice the bikers smash up the monastery and leave. The monks have the last laugh, though, as Helen, as a result of the satanic rituals, is now possessed and at night changes into a werewolf, with dire results for the biker gang.

meddlecore A gang of bikers are partying on the grounds of an old monastery, when they are approached by a cult of Satan worshipers- who are acting to bring forth the bride of Satan.They promptly drug the men, and seize one of the women for ceremonial purposes.As the bikers wake up, they realize she is gone and head off to attack the cult members who are in the middle of a ritual. But not before they are marked, and she gets turned...Not that you could tell, before she is triggered by an image in the fire, and attacks her boyfriend...turning him, as well.Together they kill a couple of the bikers.But the gang isn't too phased by it, because they head back off on their "run" after burying the bodies.However, they don't make it too far. A sandstorm rolls through, and- like something out of the bermuda triangle- they are suddenly gone. Having been whisked away to the middle of the desert.Where they are stuck until the couple turns back into werewolves and are burned to death. After which the gang- inexplicably- makes their way out of the desert, toward the Satanists- whom they plan to kill. Only to be initiated into the cult.This film makes literally no sense. The plot elements are completely disconnected from one another, and the story makes little to no attempt to bridge these gaps with any sort of plausible narrative. It's really poor storytelling, at best.The acting also sucks. And the werewolves could have literally been anything...vampires (which it seemed like at first)...swamp monsters...bigfoot...aliens...literally...f*cking...anything could have been thrown in there the way they have it set up.Do yourselves a favour and pass this one by. 3 out of 10.
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.
PeterMitchell-506-564364 This really could have been played out like a "From Dusk Till Dawn" movie. What we've got here is the long slow grind, a boring movie with little scenes, and literally a cast of unknowns. Though the darkness of it, is impressive, you would of expected tonnes of gore, but this has chosen to go the other way. Either that, or they were working with a short budget. In it's starting, again we see what happens, if you insult a gang of mean bikers, these ones, thankless pigs. One of them in one shot, looks like World's Safari's Alby Mangels. After giving these two guys a work over and chugging down some pitchers of beer, they come across this temple, where they chill out, stuffing themselves with cloud bread and wine, fruitfully provided by these hooded cult members, spouting out hymns, whatever you call it. This part of the movie is indeed, a little freaky as it is effective. One of the girls becomes a werewolf soon after as consequence of this feast, but also I guess, belittling this religious sect. We don't see much wolf action either, one problem the movie is shot in real darkness. Though, certainly a different idea to other bikie films made around this period, there's no doubt, it's individuality. As a bikie fan, you'll never very good patience with this one. It doesn't rush for anything. Alternatively you could find yourself ejecting this one, and replacing it with Easy Rider.
