A 35mm Exploitation Epic
Bigger, badder, boober… from B to DDD, from real to fake and guaranteed to make your loins ache, “Frankenstein Created Bikers” has a little something for everyone and the vagina euphemisms are endless. Jump right in and get your skull (and mind) fucked!
The cast from “Dear God No!” have returned with a vengeance. Hey, wait… didn’t everyone in “Dear God No!” die? Why yes dear reader, they did, but that doesn’t stop madman director, James Bickert from bringing them all back in a very freaky Frankie way. (Well, all except for Todd. Fucking Todd!) No, this isn’t your traditional Frankenstein film. And if Bickert got a hold of Mary Shelly, she’d be a topless gun totter by the time he was done with her. Either that or he’d make sure she had half her face blown off with a trademark Marcus Koch dick in her mouth.
Performances by Ellie Church, Jett Bryant and Tristan Risk were the cornerstones of the drive-in gritty-gore, sleaze-fest. Ellie Church is a new breed of scream queen who isn’t quite as sweet or innocent as she looks. In this film she gets down, a lot of dirty and a whole bunch of bloody. This is a Bickert film so of course she’s nude the whole time, but you will empathize with this screaming bloody mess of a girl. Yeah, she’s that good, and she looks that good too. Speaking of looking good, we all know Tristan Risk is as hot as they come. But you know how she put on that character in “American Mary” with the crazy accent, snazzy getup, and that ended up being the most memorable character of the whole film? Well, she did it again. She looks bangin’ but she acts ugly. Real ugly. And you will love her for it. The cop killing Val character is iconic and takes Tura Satana to the next level. Risk is a modern day Audrey Hepburn with 140% more personality, sex appeal and all of the talent. This chic is a rocket. Rocket? How about a Jett? I never wanted him to leave a scene. Jett WAS “Frankenstein Created Bikers”. He ferociously led the Impalers in their quest for the next hot fix, and for a minute you might think he softened up, but he’s just as mean and nasty as in “Dear God No!” Just like Ellie and Tristan, Jett gets really virile and animalistic this time, sexing it up for the ladies. Like I said… a little something for everyone… or a lot of something in Jett’s case.
Aesthetically different from “Dear God No!”, vivid crimson, vibrant lime and electric tangerine dances the screen like an eclectic acid trip. This 35mm film looks polished. The grindhouse effects were purposely not added to achieve a drive-in look and feel. The story is moderately-paced and fantastic with car explosions, multiple creative headers, more car explosions, incest, reverse childbirth… actually just about everyone gets some except Sasquatch and Bickert, who brings back his deadly hippy-biker-gun slinger to fuck some shit up. And of course he succeeds. The dialogue is clever and if it was more fast paced you might think Tarantino wrote it, and in a similar Tarantino fashion there were a bunch of homages, so keep your eyes peeled, or Bickert will peel ‘em for ya!
Sound quality is exceptional and the soundtrack does not disappoint. If you dug the “Dear God No!” soundtrack, you’ll be digging these tunes too. They embrace the period and end it with an exclamation point in a seriously groovy way, man. Special effects range from silly to ultra realistic and the pyrotechnics were the bomb. “Frankenstein Created Bikers” is touring the festival circuit currently, and will be available for limited engagements and on VOD this fall.
Rating 4/5
