Wheels of Fire Audience Reviews

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Woodyanders Once again the world has degenerated into a barbarous state in the wake of a nuclear holocaust. Rugged road warrior Trace (eassyed with mucho macho panache by Gary Watkins) must rescue his sister Arlie (buxom and shapely blonde Lynda Wiesmeier, who frequently bares her beautifully bountiful breasts) from the evil Scourge (a nicely slimy portrayal by Joe Mari Avellana) and his gang of scummy bandits. Tough gal Stringer (a pleasingly scrappy portrayal by Laura Banks) helps Trace out.Filipino exploitation cinema maestro Cirio H. Santiago once again works his usual immensely enjoyable B-movie magic: The brisk pace never flags for a minute, a gritty take-no-prisoners tone pervades throughout, neat use of desolate desert locations, a generous serving of yummy gratuitous female nudity, hysterical profane dialogue, and even a vicious tribe of subterranean albino cannibals tossed in for extra campy measure. Naturally, Santiago certainly doesn't skimp on the thrilling low-rent action: We've got down'n'dirty fights, lively car chases, fierce shoot outs, and lots of stuff of stuff blows up real good. Moreover, there are solid supporting contributions from Linda Grovenor as sweet psychic Spike, Jack S. Daniels as skeevy lackey Scag, Joseph Zucchero as kooky inventor Whiz, Steve Parvin as sniveling wimp Bo, and Nigel Hogge as the opportunistic Ambassador. Christopher Young's robust full-bore score does the rousing trick. The fairly polished cinematography by Ricardo Remias boasts several snazzy stylistic flourishes. A spot-on schlocky blast.
Deckard5254 In Wheel of Fire, Lynda is in a Road Warrior knock-off in which she is captured and gang-raped by a group of scummy, bearded, tattooed bikers. When first captured, she can be seen on the ground screaming as her top is ripped off, revealing her awesome rack. The leader has his way with her, ties her to the hood of a beat up car and tears around the desert with a still topless Lynda screaming her head off. He then rewards his fat biker worshippers by letting them pin her down and take turns screwing her.Apparently, the original cut has a much longer rape scene that goes on forever. She is beautiful, but this feature is borderline porn. Obviously working on this film was better than having to sit through it. Don't watch it with a date. it is quite misogynistic.The film is apparently a bit of an embarrassment to Playboy.
wildpeace10 They are shown not just once but often in a 30 minutes period so if that's not your cup of tea,avoid this film!This of course is a total MAD MAX/ROAD WARRIOR rip off featuring a little bit of underground action with monster rejects from THE TIME MACHINE!The other girls in the film are Laura Banks (stinger)a relatively flat chested action woman and Linda Grovenor(Spike), a girl who can read minds. Laura has a very brief topless scene,Linda doesn't.Gary Watkins(trace) is the mad max of this film. He does cruel things like burning people with a flame thrower but we're so caught up in this comic book adventure (even though it's not very good!) that we just don't want to analyze the cruelty of the act of burning people alive! That would slow the pleasure of the action and it would leave the film without a hero!Some might say that this is a cheap effort but you still must praise the works of the stunt people and effects people.There are many explosions and that flame thrower comes very close to the stuntmen who catch on fire.There is a sense of danger and you're asking yourself,how did they do it?(in a manner of keeping everybody safe.)So in conclusion,it's mostly the girls that makes this film watchable and we can only thank the filmmakers that it lasts under 90 minutes!
Cervaise Hideous rip-off of the "Road Warrior" genre -- low-budget and low-brow, the worst of the worst. It might be sort of amusing in that MST3K way, with goofy scenes that recall "R is for Rocket" and the Morlocks, except that the whole thing is so disturbingly misogynistic. If you decide to rent this, don't tell anyone whose respect you want that you're doing it.
