A motorcycle gang of three young men, led by Vietnam War veteran Brahmin (Steve Oliver), are headed for Las Vegas, but before they get there, they head straight into trouble.

Brahmin spots a young woman sunbathing, creeps up on her and kisses her, and when she screams for her fisherman husband, he gets into a fight with the gang and loses. After ravaging the woman, they drive on, and encounter the wife of veterinarian Corey Maddox (Alex Rocco), who they menace on their bikes until Cory arrives and pushes them around. Brahmin won't let him get away with this, and waits for Cory to leave his house for work the next day, then makes his move...

Written by director Russ Meyer and William E. Sprague, this was another of Meyer's highly idiosyncratic gentlemen's entertainments, packed with all the sex and violence he could get away with in 1965. Often seen as a companion piece to Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, instead of three aggressive young ladies as its main characters, it features this cut rate biker gang, and as such is the more conventional film.

Motor Psycho is notable for its war veteran baddie (as well as it's veterinary hero, I guess), being one of the first in a long line of exploitation movie psychotics, the crazed Vietnam soldier.

There's plenty of action, overripe dialogue and buxom women on offer here, and the cast is pretty good.

CLIPS FROM MOTORPSYCHO:

Presented by Lady K and Lord Leigh Park, the film is supported by a full programme of period road safety and child-kidnapping horror shorts from the San Francisco Police Dept.
