Two couples named Adam and Eve and Jane and Abel head to the “Garden of Eden” campsite for a vacation. While Adam and Abel are busy fishing and playing cards, Eve and Jane sneak off to the camper to bone. Eve and Jane then go down to the lake for some sunbathing where they are kidnapped and raped by some bikers. As Adam and Abel stand by powerless to do anything, the jealous biker mamas decide to rape them too.
Not to be confused with The Hard Riders, another biker skin flick starring Rene Bond, Bad, Bad Gang! was directed by Jon Donne AKA: Donn Greer. His handling of the porn scenes leave something to be desired as they are indifferently filmed for the most part. Although the grungy feel is perfect for a biker-themed roughie, most of the hardcore scenes are a bust. The lesbian scene in the camper between the two leading ladies is decent, however.
I had a little trouble trying to figure out the whole religious angle. Okay, our main characters are called “Adam” and Eve”, and the campsite is called the “Garden of Eden”, right? So, if that’s the case, then who are the bikers supposed to represent? The snake? Or are they meant to be the apple? If so, having Eve being taken against her will goes against the whole idea of Original Sin. (If that’s indeed what’s intended.). A Christian scholar I am not, but sheesh. Maybe I should just repeat to myself “It’s just a crummy fuck flick from the ‘70s and I should really just relax”.
The use of an instrumental of “Amazing Grace” in some scenes is pretty hilarious too. Donne might’ve thought added to the religious symbolism, but it just seems goofy more than anything. Still, fans of Bond (I’m including myself here) will probably check it out just to see her in action.
Greer later made the incredible WTF classic, The Rare Blue Apes of Cannibal Island.
