The Wild Angels

As I wrote here a couple of years ago, I spent a few months TiVoing 1960's biker movies. Most, but not all, were the work of the great Roger Corman. I started off with The Wild Angels from 1966, a Corman flick starring Peter Fonda, Nancy Sinatra, Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd. It was during the filming of The Wild Angels that Laura Dern was conceived. The Wild Angels is not a great movie, but it is fun to watch and the theme song by Davie Allen and the Arrows is just amazing! A couple of days ago the opening sequence to the film, featuring that amazing theme song, appeared on YouTube. Take a look and a listen; this is Roger Corman and Davie Allen at their best. Peter Fonda is the consumate biker in this sequence.
