Scum of the Earth - 7 Herschell Gordon Lewis Films

5. She Devils on Wheels (1968): 18.02.2013shedeil She Devils on Wheels is a riotous romp featuring an all girl motorbike gang called the Man Eaters who like to stage races and have glorious orgies afterwards. The one rule in the club is that no one of the girls should ever fall in love and favour a man over their fellow sisters. Unfortunately one of the members can't seem to stick to this resolution and there is also trouble brewing with a rival male hot-riders gang. "Go fumigate yourself craphead!". Yes the dialogue is really as bad as this and the acting has to be seen to be believed. It is atrocious, even by H G Lewis standards. The main theme song is out of tune and will grate your nerves whenever they play it. Not for you if you re looking for the Lewis trademark gore. There is, however, a superb decapitation sequence. Everyone else but me thinks it's stupid but I think it is the best decapitation scene in the history of cinema. End of. Harmless cheesy she-sploitation.
