(DVD, Blue Underground)
Hippie bikers from the Devil's Advocate gang are on a mission in 'Nam to rescue a political prisoner. They spend the first half of the film hanging out at the whorehouse/go-go bar, drinking and dancing to a Vietnamese band that sounds a lot like CCR. Some of them pair off with local girls, providing the film's only real moments of characterization. They spend some time customizing their dirt bikes with machine guns and armored plates. The big raid into Cambodia is a bit anticlimactic, since the man they are to rescue resists and gets them all killed. A final montage relives every violent death in the film with an out-of-tune ballad playing in the background.
