A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Yash Wade
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

This movie started in the middle of the night when nothing else was on so I decided to give it a chance. Glory Stompers is not the greatest movie but for some reason I couldn't change the channel!! Two years later the movie came on again and here I sit, watching it again!! This movie just draws you in.. ..

Not a Bad Biker Flick as They Go. There are a Lot of Familiar Names Besides Dennis Hopper and Jock Mahoney. There's McCrea (Joel), Crosby (Bing), and Kasem (Casey). The Stompers and the Outlaws are a Feuding and the "Old Ladies" and "Mamas" are Attractive, With Contrasting Long Legged Blondes and a Leather Clad, Knife Happy Brunette.The Story is Lured, as Usual, Consisting of Attempted Murder, Attempted Rape, Kidnapping, Human Trafficking, Drug Tripping, and Other Sordid Behavior. The Film is Lensed in Widescreen and Consists of Some Attempted Psychedelic Displays Consisting of Mostly Fisheye and Swirling Camera.Dennis Hopper is in Overdrive and Overacts as Usual Especially in the Final Scenes and Man, He is Less than Groovy, In Fact He is Psychotic as are Some of His Fellow Travelers Like MaGoo (one Babe tells Him, "Get lost gruesome!"). Jock Mahoney is a Reformed Biker Who Helps Out.Overall, Slightly Above Average in the Biker Genre and is Worth a Watch. The Soundtrack is Also Slightly Above Average with Some Feedback Guitar Along with Typical "Arrow" Stuff.

Excellent riding sequences and plenty of action made this a great movie to watch. You won't see the excessive carnage that I saw in "The Savage Seven" and "The Losers" but this movie has more than enough brutality to qualify it as a violent biker film.The Glory Stompers starts off by introducing you to the two basic types of bikers. Those who ride for pleasure and those who look for trouble. The Glory Stompers believe in fun and friendship while the Black Souls behave like opportunistic predators.The plot is rather simple yet engrossing. The Black Souls ambush a lone Glory Stomper, Darryl (Jody McCrea), and leave him for dead. The only witness is the Stomper's girlfriend, Chris (Chris Noel), so the Black Souls decide to silence her and cash in on her misfortune by selling her to some Mexican criminals. When Darryl regains consciousness he sets out alone after the Black Souls.The Black Souls make up an interesting group of villains. Dennis Hopper is brilliant as Chino the tough and ruthless leader. Chino's lady, Jo Ann (Sondra Gayle), can best be described as a knife-happy psycho. Paul (Jim Reader) seems to be too civilized to ride with the Black Souls until we learn that he is Chino's younger brother and that they have no other family. Magoo (Robert Tessier) is the largest and most sadistic member of this group. Mouth (Casey Kasem) and Monk (Lindsay Crosby) are the comic relief of the Black Souls as they spend most of their time just clowning around together.While Darryl is following the Black Souls he runs into Smiley (Jock Mahoney) who used to be a vice president of the Glory Stompers. Now older and wiser Smiley becomes Darryl's mentor and joins him on his pursuit of the Black Souls. They are eventually joined by Darryl's best friend and fellow Stomper, Pony (Gary Wood), and Pony's new bride Doreen (Astrid Warner). This posse of Stompers pursues the Black Souls into the desert where the Black Souls are waiting in a ghost town to sell their captive to the Mexican criminals. This sets up the final showdown.During my teens this film was one of my personal favorites. If you like "Good versus Evil" and "Damsel in Distress" movies, set to a motorcycle theme, then you should find this one entertaining.On researching this movie I found some interesting trivia about three of the actors who played Black Souls. Casey Kasem was inducted into the Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 1995. Casey was also the voice of "Shaggy" in the Scooby Doo cartoons. Robert Tessier shed his hair and went on to play bald-headed, tough guys most notably in "Hard Times" with Charles Bronson and "The Longest Yard" with Burt Reynolds. Lindsay Crosby's father was none other than the legendary singer/actor Bing Crosby.By: Ron Forestieri

Ah, the life of a bikie is a difficult one, especially when you have to choose between gangs like the Glory Stompers and the Black Souls. The Stompers have Pony, young, blond, bronzed and muscly, but those teeth are just a bit too brilliant. The Black Souls have some really ugly members, but also Clean-Cut, who fills out his jeans nicely and wear some fiendishly cool shades. Whose side would you be on?
