An asshole sheriff (writer/director Roger Gentry) pulls over a biker gang and hassles them. When one of the biker mamas gives him lip, he gives her a thorough cavity search to teach her some manners. He runs them out of town, and they stop in the woods for some grubby biker sex. Once they figure out where the sheriff’s house is, the gang pay him a visit and set out to get a little payback by making his wife and daughter participate in a nasty biker orgy.
Sleazy Rider is only an hour long, and it’s just as grubby, grimy, and sleazy as the title implies. The centerpiece scene is the biker initiation of a teenage girl who is made to strip (“Lemme see your cunt!”) and grovel before one of the biker mamas sits on her face and says, “Stick out your tongue, honey! Here it comes!” Naturally, this gets the gang all worked up and things quickly escalate into an all-out biker orgy. The second orgy at the sheriff’s house is lengthier and features more participants isn’t as much fun due to the rapey aspects, but it’s perfectly scummy for the sort of exploitation flick. We also get a graphic masturbation scene where the sheriff’s daughter pleasures herself on the toilet. It's also fun seeing Grizzly Adams himself Dan Haggerty (who was actually in Easy Rider as an extra) as one of the bikers (named “Hag”). Unfortunately, we never get to see how grizzly his adams is as he doesn’t stick around for the first biker orgy and only watches the second.
I knew this was going to live up to its name when I saw Gentry’s name in the credits. He’s the madman who also directed The Invitation AKA: Invitation to Ruin. This one is a little bit better than that trash classic, mostly because of the biker movie motif and cliches.
The biggest drawback is the non-ending. It feels like it’s building up to a big action climax before cutting to a title card stating that the gang were eventually arrested. Despite the absence of a proper finale, Sleazy Rider is still one of the best biker roughies of the ‘70s.
