MST does 3 biker movies in season 2, this being the first but IMO not the best. Its probably the most adult movie they ever tackled, and they do a pretty good job with what they have to work with. Some interesting MST trivia: at this point in the show they wouldn't watch an entire movie before selecting it, so after obtaining the rights they were all pretty shocked by the rape and murder of the main characters girlfriend. Obviously that scene was edited out, and movies were screened from begining to end from that point forward.
I hadn’t seen this episode in quite some time and I was happy to realize it’s a lot better than I remember. However, considering the year it actually aired I was pretty surprised by the language the film got away with uncensored, especially the f@g joke.
The riffs are solid, the host segments are pretty fun especially the side hacker song, though segment 2, where they do play by play is way to long. This is also the only time I can recall where Cambot riffs the movie, when he puts up an ESPN like crawl at the bottom of the screen. Ross Hagen makes his first appearance in MSTied movie, he's back again later in season 2. This episode gave us a few great catch phrases that would pop up quite often in the series: “That was number 5!â€
