Sleazy Rider (1972)

"He treated women like garbage and they loved him for it." A biker movie that lives up to its name - wildly sleazy and chock full of problematic material. 

Jody Bishop keeps getting top billing... who was this guy?  Was he related to Joey Bishop?  I must be missing something, because he never appeared in another movie.

  Fry (Jody Bishop) and his biker gang are pulled over by the local sheriff.

The sheriff insults the smelly bikers, and feels up the bitches. Barbie (Penny Boran) gets her boobs felt up as she's checked for contraband.

 Sam the Sheriff (Roger Gentry) takes one of the biker ladies into his squad car.

He has Anna (Becky Sharpe) strip in the backseat so he can inspect for drugs.

 "Spread your legs whore," says Sheriff Sam.

 Later, the bikers set up camp for the night.  Along comes a young girl who wants to be part of the gang.  Fry tells her she needs to strip naked.

 Cathy (Dalana Bissonnette) does as she's told.

 Then she's forced to go up to each biker and ask, "Would you please fuck me?"  They all turn her down.

 Barbie (Penny Boran) finally agrees to fuck Cathy.

And so they do it in front of everyone.

Then the male bikers decide to take their turn with Cathy. 

 Anna subtly lets Fry know it's time to have sex. 

Biker girl Starlyn Simone also is ready to get shagged.

 The next day, the biker gang pays a visit to Sheriff Sam's home.

Through the window, they see Sheriff Sam's daughter (Sandra Casselman) masturbating with a magazine.

Then, they barge through the front door.  Sheriff Sam's wife (Sandra Henderson) screams in horror.

 Let the party begin.  With Sheriff Sam, his wife and daughter tied up, the bikers take over the place.  Anna does an amazing nude dance.

 Becky Sharpe is in rare form in this film.  Yes, she's been in a million exploitation films, but none where so much screen time is centered on her vagina.

 Sheriff Sam is tied up on the floor. 

 The bikers begin to molest his daughter, stripping her clothes off.

 This is the only film credit for Sandra Casselman.

 They want to do to her what the sheriff did to Anna.  And that means spreading her legs and... well, I'll just leave it there.

Holy shit. It's Dan Haggerty smoking a joint and enjoying the rapes.

Sam's wife Sandra Henderson is raped next.

 Then it turns into a big orgy.  Barbie and Anna go to town on each other.

 Fry orders Cathy to mount Sheriff Sam.

After the bikers leave, Sheriff Sam chases them down. 

Just wall-to-wall sleaze.  Rape, humiliation, bikers, masturbation, Grizzly Adams, drugs, orgies... and Becky Sharpe spends most of her screen time pointing her beaver at the camera.  This is the perfect 1970s midnight drive-in movie.  Sure to offend most anyone; but when seventies exploitation is done right, it ain't polite.
