Why do
Johnny and the Black Rebels get all the credit? This week on “Biker B-Movies,”
I present you The Glory Stompers, a 1967 flick best described as a
mash-up of The Warriors and The Wild One, only slightly more
disappointing than it sounds like it’ll be. I mean, this movie desperately
wants to be like Marlon. The motorcycle gang leader is even named Chino
(oooooooh, just like Chino in The Wild One!). But the movie does have
it’s merits. It’s a fun movie with a few good brawls, and it has Dennis Hopper
as a biker even before Easy Rider. It’s not long, under an hour and a
half, and it features early punk that sounds sometimes eerily like early
Metallica (is that just me?). Check it out in one piece on YouTube. Isn’t
YouTube great?!
