Hi-Riders (1978)

Dimension Pictures
Directed by Greydon Clark
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, VCI Entertainment)

City boy beats biker dude in a drag race, but biker does not pay up. He chases him out in the country where he lives with the rest of the gang on a deserted set for old western movies. He beats the biker dude again to get his money, but he and his girlfriend decide to hang out with the gang for awhile. They go to a nearby town to hustle the locals in drag racing, but spend most of their time in a run down bar guzzling beer and dancing with chicks in daisy dukes and bikini tops. After their first race leads to tragedy, they are hunted down and massacred by rednecks in pickup trucks with shotguns. The survivors have to convince the police to help them. It's not high art, but it is entertaining, especially if you can picture yourself at a 1978 drive-in.
