Darktown Strutters (1975)

Directed by William Witney
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Trina Parks leads the Darktown Strutters female motorcycle gang. Her mother, coincidentally named Cinderella, has been kidnapped by the evil owner of the local rib joint who also happens to look like Colonel Sanders. He's got some kind of cloning machine in his dungeon. It's all an excuse for musical interludes (the best being The Dramatics in the dungeon), motorcycle chases in fast motion and some nonsense skits satirizing racial stereotypes. I imagine this plays better with an audience, preferably one under the influence of drugs from the 70s.
