and not very good overall

I Worship The Goddess Amber Tamblyn

Okay

I just watched it on Netflix streaming. I knew going in that it was basically a cheapo Drive-In flick. So, with my expectations lowered, I was able to enjoy it somewhat. Granted, there were some boring scenes, and some of them dragged on and on quite needlessly, but fortunately I had access to a FF button. Skip the actual bike-riding scenes, as they take place on dirt, and these bad boys can't seem to stay on their bikes. The explosion scenes were absurd as well. I had to keep adjusting my audio during the movie. This was clearly made for Drive-In speakers. But hey... if you saw "First Run, Triple Feature, 1 Buck Per Carload" on the marquee some 42 years ago, how could you refuse?

El-Mo! We wont go! What do we want? Cookies! When do we want them? Now!

The only good things about Chrome And Hot Leather are:

The debut of Cheryl Ladd as the dead girlfriend.

Kathrine Baumann as cute smoking hot biker chick Susan (topless).

William Smith as distraught biker leader T. J.

The title "Chrome And Hot Leather" should be on everyones 100 best movie name list.

Brief shots of Grizzly Adams as one of the bad bikers.

The worst thing was the whole capture the biker gang without killing anyone.

You're trained Green Beret soldiers for hecks sake use your killing skills.

I sentence the filmmakers to watch Billy Jack 1,000 times to see how to get it somewhat better.
