Savage Abduction (1973)

Watch this movie..Only if you like biker or horror movies from the 60's and 70's..Not Avatar!!

I found this movie by simple coincidence;but then again I was watching a lot of horror,exploitation and biker films from the 60's and 70's.I found this "rare gem" on DVD at one of the last good video stores in Los Angeles.I only rented it because of Steven Oliver R.I.P and his performance in Werewolves On Wheels.Which I thought needed more blood,boobs and most of all...swearing!!MPAA sucks!!and that movie is a good example of how they can ruin something which could have been a pretty darn good horror/biker movie that could still hold up to todays "expolitive standards";but with much more of a cult following than it has today.I wish they could make an uncut version of Werewolves!!!As far as Savage Abduction.It's a "ballsey" attempt to please watchers as far as Director/Writer John Lawrence,who has a few good biker movies previous to this one, tries to do when he mixes the comedy,suspense,action,exploitation and biker formula all into one film.I think this movie holds up a little better than others..All because I am seeing bits and pieces of certain memorable parts of this movie and seeing them in later films.I could give one good example:Compare Joe Turkel's performance in Savage Abduction and look at Joe Spinnel's R.I.P performance in 1980's Maniac...
