Lack of good storyline.

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Master exploitation filmmaker Herschell Gordon Lewis tries his hand at the biker genre that really took off the following year with "Easy Rider". Here he gets fair results, with a screenplay credited to his then-wife, Allison Louise Downe. It functions more as a series of bits than a real story, and overall it's kind of mild. Those people expecting the fireworks produced by his renowned gore films will be disappointed.The Man-Eaters, the all-female motorcycle gang depicted in this non-epic, are never terribly threatening or much of a danger to society. Mostly they love to recite poetry, help themselves to an assortment of studs, and race. One of their number is Karen (Christie Wagner), who joined a while back despite the objections of her boyfriend Ted (Rodney Bedell). Their "mascot" is a sweet faced, upbeat gal named Honey Pot (Nancy Lee Noble). And the official leader of the gang is the swaggering Queen (Betty Connell). They cause trouble for themselves when they rumble with a male gang led by Joe-Boy (John Weymer).We do see the aftermath of some rather nasty violence, but the only hilarious bit of gruesomeness comes from a decapitation near the end. The movie offers some fun, but it never reaches the lunatic heights of HGLs' best known work. This viewer can see why some trash lovers - even those who are fans of HGL - might consider it boring.The acting is pretty rough and amateurish, but the performers are entertaining enough to watch anyway. Connell does have some charisma, and corpulent Pat Poston some screen presence.This is lesser HGL, but even lesser HGL is not completely without entertainment value.Six out of 10.

"Sex, guts, blood & men are all mothers!"If you are looking for finesse and polish, then you might wish to look elsewhere for your entertainment because Herschell Gordon Lewis' SHE-DEVILS ON WHEELS is lacking in regards to overall quality in style, acting, and proper pacing. I think this kind of movie might appeal to biker movie aficionados rather than the typical genre fan for the premise concerns an all women gang on motorcycles(..called The Man-Eaters) who love to stir up trouble and control men(..treating them as little more than studs or slabs of meat to chew up and spit out once they are done with them). Indeed this was against the grain in regards to the typical male-dominated biker movie where the women were merely a babe on their arm, obedient to their command. The movie concerns the Man-Eaters who find themselves in a war with a group of male thugs after one of their girls is kidnapped and beaten. These girls are not to be messed with and the guys find this out the hard way. Pretty violent at times, but tame in other areas(..the women chose what man they want to sleep with as the result who finishes their race, but the sexuality and erupting orgy remain clean, without nudity).A sub-plot features suburbanite Man-Eater Karen(Christie Wagner)having difficulties with her fellow gang, getting too cozy with a selected stud. Soon an ex-boyfriend(..wishing to be her savior)attempts to talk her into splitting from the gang. In a startling scene(..to prove her loyalty to the Man-Eaters)she must drag a stud(..one she was emotionally involved with, which is a no-no) attached by rope to the end of her bike. The cutie-pie Honey Pot(Nancy Lee Noble)serves as the group's mascot, eventually allowed into the biker sisterhood(..we witness her initiation through a blood pact with the gang, who follow by a smooch on the lips, and a "syrup-bath"). Honey Pot is the one the male goons kidnap as the result of a violent altercation between them and the Man-Eaters(..a show stopping highlight as we watch the girls beat the crap out of them, displaying just how tough these broads are), leaving her practically dead. In revenge, the girls use a wire to behead one of the boys which HGL's gore fans should appreciate.I can't say I'm a fan of this one. I didn't particularly like how a great deal of dialogue is barely recognizable. Many of the jokes often spoken by the girls(..they seem to be enjoying each other's company despite the fact that I found them mostly repellent)aren't exactly giggle-inducing. The orgies lack authenticity(..I can understand HGL's desire to appeal to a wider, more general audience, but it's hard not to roll your eyes at such an unrealistic scene of bodies rolling around, clothes on for the most part)and characters are pretty bland for the exception of a few who get most of the dialogue. Betty Connell fares best as the leader of the gang, Queen, who doesn't take crap from anybody(..she uses this belt chain to assault a bartender for the whereabouts of the male leader of the gang she's pursuing). Noble and Wagner service the film as eye candy(..Wagner is pretty enticing in her tight green short-shorts) Most of the film takes place on an airfield or in this cramped room, so the limited locations become a bit stale. The camera(..even worse than past HGL movies)is all over the place and the editing is at times maddening. Still, I'm guessing the movie might just appeal to the drive-in crowd for which this was targeted towards. I think it lacks punch, though.

I am waiting for my copy of The Wizard of Gore to arrive in the mail, so I thought I would check out this Herschell Gordon Lewis work. Having on seen Blood Feast and Blood Feast 2: All U Can Eat, I wasn't prepared for the total lack of anything worthwhile in this film.So bad it's good? No, this film is just plain bad. The dialog was laughable, the fights were pathetic, and the orgies? Well, I imagine a room full of middle schoolers would put on a better show.If this was someone's imagination of what a female biker gang was like, then I will skip them in the future. The worst thing they did in Hedley, Florida was take a soda away from a little girl. Some tough broads! They wouldn't last five seconds there today.I am so disappointed at Lewis. I sure hope that The Wizard of Gore is not as bad as this film.

This angry female-biker flick was my first acquaintance with the legendary director Hershell Gordon Lewis. I'm much more looking forward to seeing some of his most controversial films like 'Two Thousand Maniacs', 'Blood Feast' or 'The Gruesome Twosome' but I consider this to be a reasonable appetizer. It's not nearly as shocking or offensive as it might look and the script contains very few material to make a movie of. Loud-mouthed bitches who drink and race all day, while they consider all males to be…mothers! They live by strange rules (for example: when you donate too much attention to the same guy, you're out of the group) and organize orgies with a cabin full of studs! A couple of persons get severely mutilated and one of them even loses his head but, other than this, there isn't much gore or action to detect. Best aspects about this film actually are the sleazy-sounding title and the opening song, entitled 'Get off the Road'. Lewis' She-Devils on Wheels is a very campy film! Some of the dialogue is really hilarious, but almost literally impossible to understand. This film decently represents the she-exploitation subgenre. But not nearly as good as Russ Meyer's legendary 'Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill' which was made 3 years earlier. The shrews in this particular film were a lot meaner, relentless and – most importantly – sexier.
