meddlecore A gang of bikers are partying on the grounds of an old monastery, when they are approached by a cult of Satan worshipers- who are acting to bring forth the bride of Satan.They promptly drug the men, and seize one of the women for ceremonial purposes.As the bikers wake up, they realize she is gone and head off to attack the cult members who are in the middle of a ritual. But not before they are marked, and she gets turned...Not that you could tell, before she is triggered by an image in the fire, and attacks her boyfriend...turning him, as well.Together they kill a couple of the bikers.But the gang isn't too phased by it, because they head back off on their "run" after burying the bodies.However, they don't make it too far. A sandstorm rolls through, and- like something out of the bermuda triangle- they are suddenly gone. Having been whisked away to the middle of the desert.Where they are stuck until the couple turns back into werewolves and are burned to death. After which the gang- inexplicably- makes their way out of the desert, toward the Satanists- whom they plan to kill. Only to be initiated into the cult.This film makes literally no sense. The plot elements are completely disconnected from one another, and the story makes little to no attempt to bridge these gaps with any sort of plausible narrative. It's really poor storytelling, at best.The acting also sucks. And the werewolves could have literally been anything...vampires (which it seemed like at first)...swamp monsters...bigfoot...aliens...literally...f*cking...anything could have been thrown in there the way they have it set up.Do yourselves a favour and pass this one by. 3 out of 10.

Darkweasel A biker gang stumble across a satanic cult holed up in an EVIL CHURCH. Using drugged wine and bread shaped like giant biscuits, the cult send the gang to sleep and possess one of the female members, turning her into a werewolf.If I learned anything from Werewolves on Wheels (surely a contender for the best film title ever) is that being a biker in the early '70s was clearly HILARIOUS. When the gang aren't beating up rednecks, stealing gas, or shagging each other, laughing at absolutely everything everywhere definitely seems to be the best pastime. Look! A gas pump! HA HA HA!! Hey, a tree! HAAAAAA!!! Beer!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! SATANISTS IN ROBES!!! WOOOOO!! HAHAHAH! And so on and so forth.The laughter stops briefly when, after waking up, the gang walk into the EVIL CHURCH and beat up all the satanists. They're quickly giggling and guffawing like children again though, stopping only the next morning when they discover two of their friends have been savaged by something bitey. Soon enough, as expected, everyone's laughing again. Well, everyone with the exception of their hippiest member, Tarot. See, Tarot's figured out something's not quite right and in his best hippy language tries to warn their leader, Adam, about it - "that was no accident. It was heavy. Somebody's controlling the vibes". Adam's having none of it though and the laughter quickly turns to fisticuffs. Fisticuffs turn into a serious kicking, and then a serious kicking quickly escalates into a fireside werewolf battle before the remaining gang members decide to go back to the EVIL CHURCH and kill the cultists. ONLY THE CULTISTS ARE ACTUALLY THEMSELVES. Yeah, it was the '70s, people. Hallucinogenic drugs were in plentiful supply and endings to Bikersploitaiton films didn't have to make any sense.Not that you'd believe it by reading this, but Werewolves on Wheels actually has an awful lot going for it. It's fun, it moves along at a nice pace, and it's even pretty well acted in places. Not to mention the werewolves, tits, and sexy naked snake dancing. It also has quite possibly the funniest Satanic ritual ever filmed. After killing a cat (cue funny death screech) and doodling something in blood while saying a load of evil-sounding mumbo jumbo, cult leader "One" (Severn Darden from the final two original Planet of the Apes movies), ad-libs like a boss, mumbling something along the lines of "rabadabadabadadamabarambarambararararabbabadada" and hoping for the best. The thing is, being the early '70s, he probably got away with it.The soundtrack is excellent, some moody guitar based country for the title theme with a couple of other similar tracks along the way. And whether it's a recommendation or not, Rob Zombie clearly loves the film as he used a line of dialogue at the start of his song, Sick Bubblegum."Hey, we all know how we're gonna die, baby. We're gonna crash and burn".

MartinHafer This film is about the 'Devil's Advocates', a 1970s biker gang that is evil. They are so evil that at some dopey satanic ritual, one of them gives their soul to Mr. Evil and as a consequence, she is turned into a werewolf!(???).I enjoy watching bad films. I am not talking about boring bad films, but ineptly made and laughably bad films. You know, like the films of Ed Wood, Al Adamson, Larry Buchanan and William Grefe (just to name a few). These films all have the common thread of being so cheaply made that they are good for a laugh--particularly if you watch them with friends. Because of this, I assumed that a cheap film called "Werewolves on Wheels" would be exactly the sort of biker film for me! However, it turned out to be simply bad--unwatchable and unbelievably dull. Aside from when a few nude scenes sprinkled here and there occurred, I had to struggle to stay awake seeing this turkey. In fact, it might just be the perfect cure for insomnia! The film's biggest problem is the pacing. All too often, the film just seems to go on and on and on--like the director had never heard of editing. Too often, the gang members just blathered and drank with no particularly goal in mind other than to just fill up the screen with SOMETHING. In fact, it appears that there really was no script or dialog written for much of the film--they just improvised and every improvisation apparently went into the movie. A great example is the beginning of the film where absolutely nothing of interest happened for the first 15-20 minutes!! There was a bit of gang violence, but it wasn't particularly violent. Much of this time the gang just laid around belching and laughing.The next big problem is I wanted to see lots of bikers with wolf-man makeup riding their choppers. Sadly, this isn't the case. You don't even get to see any werewolves until the end of the film. The only other attack before this is done in silhouette (cop-out) and there is no transformation scene at all--just two measly people wearing what appear to be werewolf masks bought from a local store---good ones, but still, just masks. Plus, to make matters worse, the werewolves are amazingly easy to kill--you just light them on fire and watch 'em burn!Overall, the movie is brain-numbingly dull throughout and even the werewolf scenes are dull--offering no respite for the audience. And, speaking of no respite, while the theme music initially seemed pretty cool, it was repeated so often that I was looking for some relief from this droning and annoying music! An awful and stupid film.If you want to see a bad but fun biker film, I suggest you try "Born Losers", "Satan's Sadists" or "She-Devils on Wheels". All these films are silly but lovable bad films---whereas "Werewolves on Wheels" simply sucks.

L_Miller Summary: If you liked "Race With The Devil", this is about 2/3 as good but is worthwhile for fans of the genre to check out due to the somewhat unusual quality of its viewpoint and style.It's cheaply made, exploitative...and a perfect representative of its genre. A few touches make it noteworthy if you live for the B-card: the funky surf-music soundtrack, a few surrealistic camera touches, the endless road scenes, the naked snakedance.Of course it's also incoherent, saddled with a mechanically downbeat ending that totally betrays the setup of the beginning, and let's face it; when you have zero budget you save the werewolf effects for one or two scenes at the end of the movie.Get the DVD and listen to the commentary track - the filmmakers talk about how there are about 6 "real" actors and everyone else is crew and actual bikers (this movie does get points for authenticity in look and feel) and it's entertaining to listen to them reminisce about making movies in those days and how the, um, "props" were 100% authentic and the movie was kind of a rolling party that they happened to bring some cameras to.Like most things, the kind of thing you'll like if you like that kind of thing, that kind of thing in this case being crappy outlaw/devil movies from the 1970s. If you're a fan of the genre you'll like this, otherwise if you liked Easy Rider, Race with the Devil and Werewolf of Woodstock, and don't want to take the time to watch all of them, this is kind of a compressed verion of all three movies.
