Hollywood Man (1976)
6/10
"Make a good movie Mr. Hollywood".

Warning: Spoilers
Never, but never take mob money to make a film. You would think the financing for this flick would have been covered by the product placement for Budweiser, Michelob and Miller Beer, all of which were prominently displayed at one point or another throughout the flick. After hearing it about a half dozen times, I would have thought that Harvey (Ray Girardin) might have actually appeared with Kirk Douglas in "Spartacus", so much so that I had to check that film's credits. Nope, never happened. Not being much of a biker movie fan (I did like "The Wild One"), the cool surprise for me here was seeing old Captain Christopher Colt, Wayde Preston show up as biker Tex, part of Harvey's gang of tonsorially challenged henchmen. Too bad he didn't make it to the end of the picture, but then again, not many of the players did. Speaking of which, that was just a dirty rotten deal for Rafe Stoker (William Smith) and Julie (Mary Waronov) at the end of the story. If only he hadn't expected to get back his own money that he sunk into the picture; who ever heard of such a thing?
