The Hellcats Audience Reviews

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Michael Ledo A biker group is used to deal drugs from Mexico. An undercover agent is shot and his military returning brother, Monte (Ross Hagen) infiltrates the group according to the formula. Also his brother's fiancée infiltrates too. Monte makes out with all the girls to get information...I think that is what they were doing as those scenes were always covered in a blanket. We don't want to offend the eyes of the other bikers.As for the DVD cover...Now there a woman with an eye patch who Monte lovingly called "cyclops" and her response was "What's a cyclops?" Clearly a victim of the public schools. Now I don't recall her or any other women swinging a chain, although one did take off her belt and used it like a whip...oops that was near the end, sorry for the plot spoiler as if you are going to actually watch this stinker.Guide: No swearing sex or nudity in this biker film. Available on multi-packs.
Uriah43 After his brother is killed by drug traffickers, "Monte" (Ross Hagen) takes a leave of absence from the army and decides to infiltrate a motorcycle gang in order to get the people in charge. His brother's fiancé, "Linda" (Dee Duffy) also joins him in this effort. What both of them discover is that their mission is much harder than they expected it to be as only a few select people within the motorcycle gang are privy to the details of any drug transactions and there are additional layers between the them and those at the top. Now, rather than reveal any more of this movie I will just say that I was somewhat surprised at how low this particular film was rated. While it certainly wasn't the best "biker movie" I have ever seen, I also don't believe it was anywhere near the worst either. In that regard, I thought both Ross Hagen and Dee Duffy performed their parts adequately enough and the plot was equally interesting as well. On the other hand, the script could have used some improvement and the music seemed to be at least a year or two behind the times. In spite of this, I didn't feel it was necessarily a bad movie by any means and I have rated it as only slightly below average.
Dextrousleftie For those of you who noticed all the people from Red Zone Cuba in this horrid piece of trash movie, that is because this thing was produced and funded by none other than the talentless Tony Cardoza, who funded and 'acted' in all of Coleman Francis's horrible movies, as well. I guess this is the only way that Tony got to be an actor was to pay for the movies to get made, since he had zero talent. He probably put it in the contracts that he got to play a part in the film if he produced it. Put him together with the hideous Gus Trikonis of Sidehackers fame(thus the appearance of Ross Hagen as the main character)to make a movie, and you have a disaster of major proportions in the making. The incomprehensible, drug addled plot is only the beginning of the film's problems. The film used is grainy and watered down looking, there isn't one appealing character in the whole movie, and there are scenes that make no sense and trail off altogether. Lots of them. They make up most of the movie, actually. All one can think is that the film crew, including the director, were buying drugs from the biker gang and taking fistfuls of them before they started shooting. You can watch this thing over and over again, and all you'll get is a headache. It still won't make any more sense than the first time you watched it. At least Sidehackers had the crazed but amusing JC, and Red Zone Cuba had a so-called 'plot' that left you howling with laughter. Hell cats has neither of these things. Or much of anything else, either, except for lots and LOTS of drugs, booze, and scenes of motorcycle riding and chicks in bikinis.
isabel-neves-1 This movie is so bad it's actually funny! I watched it from start to finish and I have to say, I have no idea what the storyline was about. Very confusing! I loved the way we'd get 20 minutes of motorbike riding, especially when the bikes all just rode off the screen! Obviously everybody in the movie was meant to be stoned, but I strongly suspect the cast, the cameramen and the producers all were as well. Also the chain fight was the best. I have no idea what it was all about, but believe me, this one is SO terrible it's worth watching!Basically, as far as I can tell, the story of this film is that for some reason or other, two people have a grudge because their boyfriend/brother was killed, and they know it has something to do with a drug gang so they follow one around and everyone gets stoned, a few people end up in some police station for a while and at the end they all sort of run around and it finishes. Highlights include some random character being strangled and then totally forgotten about, a motorbike race where the race isn't seen, the chain fight (hooray!), and somebody falling off a motorbike into a ditch at about two miles an hour in a very unrealistic way! Special effects include the tendency for the motorbikes not to be seen as the camera is about a metre behind them. If you watch this movie without expecting it to have any sort of recognisable storyline, and not expecting it to be good, you should enjoy it a lot!
