Hell's Bloody Devils (1970)

Independent-International Pictures
Directed by Al Adamson
My rating: BOMB
IMDb
(DVD, Media Blasters)

Al Adamson certainly ranks among the worst of directors, and this film does nothing to change that distinction. Advertised as a biker flick, it is actually a terrible spy drama centered around John Gabriel, a Bond-ish FBI agent and playboy. He is assigned to track down Nazi counterfeiters who are using the syndicate and the bikers to do their dirty work. The once great Broderick Crawford is reduced to acting behind a desk or barking out commands over a telephone, a career low point. The production is inept, with several boom spottings and canned music repeated over and over. John Carradine appears in one scene as a pet store owner, talking to twin girls about the sex problems of their love birds; it bears no relation to the rest of the film.
