From The Wild Angels in 1966 until its conclusion in 1972, the cycle of outlaw motorcycle films contained fortyodd formulaic examples. All but one were made by independent companies that specialized in producing exploitation movies for driveins, neighborhood theaters, and rundown inner city theaters. Despised by critics, but welcomed by exhibitors denied firstrun films, these cheaply and quickly produced movies were made to appeal to audiences of mobile youths. The films are repetitive, formulaic, and eminently forgettable, but there is a story to tell about all of the above, and it is one worth hearing. Hoodlum Movies is not only about the films, its focus is on why and how these films were made, who they were made for, and how the cycle developed through the second half of the 1960s and came to a shuddering halt in 1972.
