Watch Easy Wheels

Easy Wheels is a 1989 B-movie that can best be described as a hybrid between a Mad Max knockoff and a biker movie. The movie stars Paul Le Mat, who many viewers will recognize from his role as John Milner in the classic coming-of-age film American Graffiti. In Easy Wheels, Paul Le Mat plays a character named Rico, the leader of a biker gang that roams the highways of California looking for trouble.

The movie begins with Rico's gang stumbling onto a small town that is terrorized by a rival biker gang. Rico and his crew decide to help the townsfolk by taking on the rival gang. Things quickly escalate when they discover that the local sheriff is helping the rival gang, and that the townsfolk are being forced to mine a mineral called "black diamond," which is highly valuable and dangerous to extract.

The plot thickens when Eileen Davidson, who plays a journalist named Karen, arrives in town to investigate the black diamond mines. Karen is kidnapped by the sheriff and the rival biker gang, and Rico and his crew must rescue her while also taking down the sheriff and putting an end to the black diamond mines.

While the plot sounds like it has potential, the execution leaves much to be desired. The acting is wooden and the dialogue is clunky, with many lines delivered in a stilted, forced way. The action scenes are poorly choreographed and lack any real sense of tension or danger. It's not surprising that this movie has mostly faded into obscurity.

One of the film's saving graces is its soundtrack, which features some catchy, hard-driving rock tunes that fit well with the film's overall vibe. However, even the music can't save this film from being a forgettable mess.

If you're a fan of B-movies, Easy Wheels might be worth checking out for its cheesy, over-the-top moments. However, if you're looking for a well-crafted action movie or a gripping drama, you'll probably want to steer clear of this one.
