C. C. Ryder (Joe Namath, who is from a town over from me and we shared the same dentist; perhaps he is better known as the New York Jets quarterback who was such a big deal that he had his own fashion doll) is a biker who hooks up with a gang called The Heads who are led by Moon (William Smith, who as we all know improves every movie).
There's a race between the whole gang and C. C. decides to win it to get a fashion model named Ann McCalley (Ann-Margret, whose husband Roger Smith wrote this) to notice him. She's kidnapped by The Heads and C. C. has to save her.
This was directed by Seymour Robbie, who mostly worked in television, and was savaged by critics. Gene Siskel gave it no stars and said, "Ann-Margret has a brief nude scene in which she proves that in addition to having a foul mouth she is fat." Let me say something. Gene Siskel's wife Marlene Iglitzen was quite attractive, but Ann-Margaret is, well, Ann-Margaret. He'd never get away with a comment like that today.
Well, because he's dead.
But you know what I mean.
The Heads also have members like Crow (Sid Haig), Captain Midnight (Bruce Glover), Pig (Teda Bracci, who was Bull Jones in The Big Bird Cage and Rita in The Centerfold Girls), Pom Pom (Jennifer Billingsley, The Thirsty Dead), Zit-Zit (Jacquie Rohr, The Mini-Skirt Mob, Devil's Angels), Tandalaya (Kiva Kelly), Lizard (Greg Mullavey, My Friends Need Killing) and Rabbit (Mike Battle, who also played for the Jets).
Glover was supposed to play the lead, but when Joe Namath saw him, he got Willaim Smith. Glover said, ""He took one look at me and said I was too short to beat him up. I had no power at the time, so I couldn't quit. But I made my character and improvised every line I had in that movie."
