I don't know for sure when the motorcycle gang movie genre peaked, but they still seemed hot in 1970. Fifty years ago this week, a triple bill of cycle movies was playing at the Cactus Drive-In in Tucson, Arizona, though all three were second- or third-run movies.
Wild Wheels (1969) was cycles vs. dune buggies and featured Casey Kasem, though it seems to be a lost movie now.
Devil's Angels (1967) was produced by Roger Corman and starred John Cassavettes just before he began directing his string of indie films that would make him a 70s cult figure.
Angels from Hell (1968) appears to combine cycles, a Vietnam vet, and police brutality.
