Filmed in the lush region of New Zealand and supposedly taking place in small town America (which is never that green and lovely!), the scenery is beyond-gorgeous while the vibe seems as if the very film were somehow cursed (a similar feeling derives from THE EXORCIST, THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, KISS ME DEADLY and several other vehicles), or as if the mind-altering, experimental heavies had made the film instead of an ambiguous "middleman" i.e. filmmaker.<br>

And on the spy side are various scenes with Broderick Crawford, Scott Brady, John Carradine, and the James Bond character played by a fittingly-suave cool-cat, John Gabriel.<br /> <br /> If you center solely on the original movie, THE FAKERS, from which the biker stuff was pasted on after this film was abandoned and retitled HELL'S BLOODY DEVILS, it can be an entertaining, and often involving, exploitation fluff that only director Al Adamson could provide. But if you want to see a biker movie meant <i>only</i> as a biker movie, check out Adamson's cult classic <a href="http://www.cultfilmfreaks.com/2012/08/satans-sadists.html">SATAN'S SADISTS</a> starring HELL'S BLOODY alumni Gary Kent, Robert Dix and Scott Brady<i>. </i><br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNfLkYTmg5Xa-QUgdni74r4JkqJ_TLsdDvH42ao-3XoqeEgWIHFpe1HkTSBW30UMMLEOfRuvoQUZ3vfYfrkMzqwoXOHUdRMJs8mmeei1tivdJVcAljIjQnYJC9pouudPn4xqCY3tdHSWOD/s1600/31378_111125188931770_3490685_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="528" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNfLkYTmg5Xa-QUgdni74r4JkqJ_TLsdDvH42ao-3XoqeEgWIHFpe1HkTSBW30UMMLEOfRuvoQUZ3vfYfrkMzqwoXOHUdRMJs8mmeei1tivdJVcAljIjQnYJC9pouudPn4xqCY3tdHSWOD/s640/31378_111125188931770_3490685_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">John Gabriel as Agent Mark Adams in THE FAKERS which was changed to HELL'S BLOODY DEVILS</td></tr> </tbody></table> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoUSHCa4LE2Xw38sYkUVlvsZIU69nbouFhLxlIR8JD1QxSANzrl-18ruziTZAPpAt6PYVwGrRZoEDZH4kazghyphenhyphen-i0VKcEiVsgHdhU2JdRfd_YOidn3UCZSnbeJ5qimgJKq0QkZ9wmQ6J7e/s1600/31378_111125185598437_3261176_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoUSHCa4LE2Xw38sYkUVlvsZIU69nbouFhLxlIR8JD1QxSANzrl-18ruziTZAPpAt6PYVwGrRZoEDZH4kazghyphenhyphen-i0VKcEiVsgHdhU2JdRfd_YOidn3UCZSnbeJ5qimgJKq0QkZ9wmQ6J7e/s640/31378_111125185598437_3261176_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">John Gabriel and a bizarre cameo by...

Add to this a jazzy game-show score and Death as the narrator, philosophizing why each character must die, sometimes even giving it away but that's alright, because in this doomed situation: death is the main character. A campy yet brilliant low budget Western with some terrific actors like Scott Brady (who dies gallantly), Jim Davis as a scumbag rapist, and John Carradine as a pistol-wielding preacher, but none work too hard except John Bud Cardos in duo-roles as a friendly Indian and a bad one, the latter battling star (and writer) Robert Dix, firmly strident throughout, in the knife-wielding climax that begins on a cliff top and winds up in a river and down a waterfall: THE QUIET MAN be damned.</div>
