Audience Member There's a Very Special Actor in this Film. Yes, Paul Le Mat. But more Importantly, the small Blond Baby in the Drawer! He's my Stepson, Levi! :) Great Cast, super Hokey. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the film where we learn the awful truth about Iowa. A biker gang called the Born Losers does battle with a gang of radical feminist baby snatchers. It's a good concept with fun characters, and it's pretty well written and acted. But they just don't seem to have the whole comic timing thing down. It's way too slow-paced, and while it made me want to like it, by the end I'd given up trying. Two stars. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member All right, you Raimi fanboys, you've seen <i>Spider-Man</i>, you've probably seen <i>The Evil Dead</i>, you might've seen <i>The Quick & The Dead</i>, and there's even a slim chance you've seen <i>Crimewave.</i> But I bet you've never seen <i>Easy Wheels</i>! That's right, our man Sam co-wrote this tongue-in-cheek biker comedy under a pseudonym, his brother Ted has a very small part by making faces as a bartender, and his <i>Xena: Warrior Princess</i> co-creator Rob Tapert served as co-producer. Problem is, they didn't really hire the right director(s). The pacing is awkward and the gags often don't have the proper timing to really do this goofy story any favors. Didn't I mention? Biker Paul "You Want A Knuckle Sandwich?" LeMat of <i>American Graffiti</i> fame has visions, thanks to a hunk of metal lodged in his head from Vietnam, and leads his gang The Born Losers to Iowa to stop a biker gang of women from kidnapping baby girls and leaving them in the forest to be raised by wolves, just as their leader had been. See, it's <i>that</i> kind of movie. I got a kick out of the entire movie taking place "east of Des Moines, south of Dubuque." Most of the landscape could substitute for Iowa with the long lonely roads and cornfields, but the terrain grew a little too rugged towards the end. Some funny lines - for instance, we learn one of the perks of being in a biker gang means never having to wash dishes - and situations sorely needed an extra jump-start of energy to really deliver a cult classic along the lines of <i>Crimewave</i>. But hey, the full Raimi experience isn't complete without watching it. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I went into this film expecting a "serious" biker film along the lines of it's 80s contemporaries like the Gary Busey biker flick "Eye of the Tiger" or the Lance Henriksen film "Savage Dawn." However, I quickly realized that this was going to be a goofy film complete with cartoon sound effects and hammy acting. The story involves Paul Le Mat and his biker gang going up against Eileen Davidson as She Wolf and her all-female biker gang. There's baby stealing, feminist platitudes, and lots of cornball action. This film was co-written by Sam and Ivan Raimi, and was also produced by Raimi and Bruce Campbell, but this film isn't as broad a send up of as Raimi's "Crimewave" and suffers for it. This film is also lacking the strong cast of "Crimewave." There are some funny bits here and there, but overall this was a disappointing comedy and something of a black mark on Raimi's otherwise solid filmography. Still, it's always kind of a treat to catch a nice high-definition showing of a film that's out-of-print and only availble on VHS.
