Wizard-8 By the late 1970s, the motorcycle movie genre was essentially dead for even the drive-in crowd, but that fact did not stop the makers of this particular effort. It's obviously inspired in part by "Easy Rider", seeing that it concerns a number of different vignettes experienced by people on a long cross country motorcycle trip. Most of these vignettes are fairly light hearted and innocuous, but there are a few that are much darker in nature and don't really fit with the movie's otherwise breezy and upbeat tone - ESPECIALLY the ending, which REALLY comes out of left field. A more pleasant tone from beginning to end would have helped, though the movie would still probably have been made cheaply and crudely made as it is now. I will say that the movie is never boring despite its faults, and it does at times well tap into the fantasy many of us have of dumping our responsibilities and going on a long road trip. But I still can't really recommend it for a general audience, though film buffs who have an interest in obscure drive-in product of the 1970s might find it at times an interesting curiosity.

brad kittleson First, look for the DVD "Young Cycle Girls", finally out there, and offering the unedited edition with the original title. This movie needs all its profanity and nudity restored. You won't regret buying this, it is an amazing experience. While it won't make IMDb's top 250 list anytime soon (a tragedy), it is every bit as much a rewarding experience to watch as any film made. The ending is the sort of shock ending M. Night Shyamalan tries to equal in his movies. the female liberation and bonding are what Thelma and Louise so awkwardly tried to portray. The acting is well... This movie should be seen under the influence, and with as many people as you can get to watch it with. There will be time for repeated viewings later to disseminate the movie itself. just enjoy the ride!

John Seal How can one adequately (or accurately) rate a film such as Cycle Vixens? Here is a film that defies all film-making conventions: at least 50% of this brief story is taken up with roadside shots of signposts--and fingers pointing at signposts. Filled with more visual and verbal non sequiturs than you might think possible in 71 minutes, Cycle Vixens is both one of the worst films ever made, and one of the most compelling. One minute our heroic girls are tooling down the highway with the country-rock Cruisin' Down the Road blasting out of the soundtrack like a wayward outtake from Sweethearts of the Rodeo. Next minute they've been waylaid by a couple of seriously strung out junkies who somehow manage to tie up our clean-cut motorcycle mamas for a little roadside rape. Then the girls are back on their bikes, none the worse for wear. Cruisin' Down the Road is back in full force (the song plays an incredible FIVE TIMES during the course of the film) and Those Fingers are back to pointing at Those Roadsigns. Other reviews have mentioned the jaw dropping finale, which is truly remarkable and must be seen cold to be appreciated. Simitar's tape does seem to be cut--how else to explain some of the narrative lapses?--and kindly bleeps out all naughty words besides 'hell'. However, the good folks at Simitar had no trouble exposing us to frequent dissertations on the pleasures of getting high, not to mention that final scene...I guess heroin abuse is okay, but the word 'ass' is beyond the pale. I'll be first in line for the DVD.

betelguese_1 This movie is what you would get if you crossed Easy Rider with Thelma and Louise, and had a 14-year old write the script. The ending is so odd that I sat in my bean bag frozen in awe of it's sheer lunacy. I only wish enough of you would see this movie to actually make the Worst Movie List, but doing so would probably double the total viewers who have ever seen this film.
