Angels Die Hard (1970)
Nomination Year: 2000
SYNOPSIS: This film doesn't really have a plot. It just seems to meander from event to event until it runs out of movie. Memorable scenes include the biker poetry reading, the spaghetti rape sequence, and the funeral oration.
- "Let's Up The Rating To 'R'"
I'll Have What They're Having
It's the spaghetti rape sequence. Even describing it this way accords it more sense than it possesses.
- Worst Cover Copy
Los Angeles Dies Hard
It's a drawing, first of all, instead of a photo. And the plot that it describes is not entirely unlike the actual plot of the film. Because both involve motorcycles.
- "Whoops!"
Copter Three, Please Clear the Shot
In the opening scene, as you're looking down at the bikers winding their way along the scenic mountain road, you also get a nice shot of the corner of the helicopter that they're shooting from.
Crummiest Ending
The Flashback Crash
There's a car chase, and then there's a flashback to the murder of the biker that brought the gang to the small town. And then a flash of gunfire of some sort. And a car goes off the road, and catches fire. All to a rousing 60s-style protest song. The End.
