Motor Psycho (1965)
Director: Russ Meyer
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
It's the Battle of the Vets, as 'horse croaker' veterinarian Maddox (Rocco) takes on a biker whose mind, it seems, is on vacation after a tour of duty in Vietnam. Maddox, whose wife has been raped by the biker's gang, teams with Ruby (the pneumatic Haji) for an entertaining snakebite sequence and adequate finale, but otherwise it's hard to see what all the fuss is about. This is a rather tedious Western with whacked-out nutcases on bikes substituting for the Indians. Despite the disingenuous claims of Meyer fans that it's his editing and composition that mark him out, people only really watch his films for their parade of enormous breasts - though here they remain covered up.Author: NRo
