Warning: Spoilers
Up first on my Savage CInema box set is Richard Kanter's (Thar She Blows!, Sensual Encounters of Every Kind, Fantasy In Blue) 1971 grimy biker film Wild Riders. It's all about Pete and Stick (Arell Blanton, whose IMDB list is full of cop roles and, yep, a very young Alex Rocco), two scumbags who get thrown out of their gang. So they do what any of us wouldn't do - they take over a house and assault the two girls who are there.

One of them, Rona, is played by Elizabeth Knowles, who may be better known as Lisa Grant. That's the name she used for Executive Wives and Behind the Green Door, one of the movies that introduced porno chic. The other girl, Laure, is played by Sherry Bain, who was in The Hard Ride and Ride the Hot Wind.

It's another movie to cross off my Letterboxd Crown International list. If you've learned anything from this site, it's that I am nothing if not a completist. If you end up thinking, "Is that Peter Fonda?" Well, no. But Arell Blanton is happy that you noticed him trying.
