She-Devils on Wheels

"She-Devils On Wheels" is a 1968 US-made movie about an all-female motorcycle gang called The Man-Eaters, directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis. The Man Eaters are led by Queen (Betty Connell). The gang's main activity is racing each other, then having a wild orgy at their clubhouse afterward. The race determines the order in which the girls get to pick a man. One of the fastest held rules of the group is that "all men are mothers" and no Man-Eater falls in love. New initiate Karen (Christie Wagner), strains these rules as the gang finds her choosing the same man, Bill (David Harris) several times. The Man-Eaters test Karen's loyalty by making her drag a well beaten Bill from the back of her motorcycle. Karen's loyalty is tested again when her ex-boyfriend, Ted (Rodney Bidell), urges Karen to leave the gang because of the danger presented by a rival gang of hot-rodders led by a man named Joe-Boy (John Weymer).

Lewis appeared on March 27,2008 at the Buffalo Niagara Film Festival in Buffalo, NY, where his film "2000 Maniacs" was played. When asked why he made "She-Devils on Wheels" and why it was so different from his other films, Lewis explained that at the time he was getting a lot of negative feedback on how women in his films were always violently killed. Biker movies at the time were growing in popularity and so had the idea to make a biker movie called "Man Eaters On Motorcycles", with females in power dishing out the violence, which eventually became "She-Devils on Wheels".

Film Quote; `We don't owe nobody nuthin',and we don't make no deals,we're swingin' chicks on motors,and we're man-eaters on wheels!'
