Audience Member This is not Nam's Angels. It's Nam Angels. That one was made in 1970 and was also known as The Losers. This one in the late 80s in the Philippines. Lt. Vance Calhoun (Brad Johnson, who was a rodeo cowboy and former Marlboro Man who later was in Always, Flight of the Intruder and played Rayford Steele in the Left Behind movies) is a West Texas soldier with a lasso and a sawed-off shotgun who has taken on a dangerous rescue mission to get some POWs back from Vietnam. Luckily, he has five Hell's Angels — Larger (Rick Dean, Tales from the Hood), Bonelli (Mark Venturini, Suicide from Return of the Living Dead!), Carmody (Jeff Griffith, The Sisterhood) and Turko (Romy Diaz) — who are ready to fight anyone, anywhere, even if Calhoun tells them they're on a very different mission. Vernon Wells plays — well, he's Vernon Wells so you know he's completely insane throughout — Chard, a guy who has gone all Heart of Darkness in Vietnam and encourages the villagers to kill everyone on every side of the battle. After all, they have gold to keep safe. That gold is what Calhoun tells the bikers they're after, not a mission of mercy. The theme song from this movie does not fit at all and that's probably why I love it so much. A Concorde Roger Corman release directed by Cirio H. Santiago, this movie will definitely do the job if you can't find an Arnold, Chuck, JCVD or Stallone movie. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty straight forward "some bikers got somehow stuck in vietnam and an army officer convinces them to help him on a mission"-movie. The editing good be done a little better and maybe the sound. Could be because I watched the German dubbed version. The French villian looks like it's been ripped of, of "Missing in action 2" Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Nam Angels is just a late 80s retread of 70s drive-in. You could easily confuse it w/ The Losers (Nam's Angels) starring William Smith just not nearly as good. Maybe w/ such a similar title it was sorta meant to be a remake. Dirty bikers on a military mission seems to come a little late by 88 & even though is familiar ground it's not bad for what it is. There is a lot of gun play which I like & for a cast full of absolute nobodies they are likeable. Truly plays like one of those movies that were sorta released in the video boom of the 80s like Thunder Warrior. Im sorta surprised that it didn't surface @ my local video store when I was a kid. If it had I would have seen it. Im just the audience for this no demand cheapness but as I said before it was much better in the 70s but if you like the formula it's easy to watch again Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member hells angels vo vietname ;-) Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
