Classic Biker Movies (DVD)
A collection of three cult classic biker flicks. Includes, EVEL KNIEVEL starring George Hamilton; C.C. & COMPANY starring Joe Namath and Ann-Margret; and ANGELS HARD AS THEY COME starring Gary Busey and Scott Glen.
EVEL KNIEVEL: An action-packed biography of one of the world`s most famous daredevils, portrayed by George Hamilton. Many of the wild stunts in the film were performed by Evel Knievel himself.
C.C. & COMPANY: C.C. Ryder--an honest grease monkey (played with aw-shucks good-naturedness by Joe Namath)--is thrust into the rapacious, swarthy world of hog-riding when he joins hell-bound biker gang The Heads . Shortly after his induction into the sleazy club, he averts the gang rape of Ann McCalley (Ann-Margaret), a fashion reporter sent to cover a motor sports event. Ann and C.C. are on their way to falling madly in love, much to the chagrin of Heads leader, Moon (William Smith). Mayhem and an adrenaline-pumping, high-stakes race across the desert ensue.
ANGELS HARD AS THEY COME: Jonathan Demme wrote this inventive satire of biker movies. The standard road fare culminates in a gang fight in a ghost town. Busey`s debut and an early Glenn role.NR"
