Info

A biker gang visits a monastery where they encounter black-robed monks engaged in worshipping Satan. When the monks try to persuade one of the female bikers, Helen, to become a satanic sacrifice the bikers smash up the monastery and leave. The monks have the last laugh, though, as Helen, as a result of the satanic rituals, is now possessed and at night changes into a werewolf, with dire results for the biker gang.

Werewolves on Wheels Audience Reviews

ShangLuda Admirable film.
BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
tavm This was yet another of the obscure werewolf movies I recently discovered and unlike some of those others, this one deserves that obscurity! I mean, it's just pointless blather among friends whether at a diner, the desert, or a former church where satanic rituals are performed. While there are some killings where a werewolf seems to be the one responsible some of the time, that creature is not really seen until nearly the end. I did like some of the songs playing on the soundtrack but that's it. So on that note, Werewolves on Wheels is not recommended.
trishaade If you are in the mood to watch a bunch of bikers riding around and getting up to all kind of antics, this might be your cup of tea. If you are looking for a horror movie, you'll be sadly disappointed.I think this could have been an interesting movie if it had been better done. It is a novel concept and could have gone in some unique directions. I'd love to see a remake that focused on the horror aspect. The title implies that you have biker werewolves but the monster part of the movie seems like it was put in as an aside. There is very little horror in this film and it is more implied than seen. Again, this film is more about a stereotypical biker lifestyle than a horror movie. That being said, I was quite surprised by a lot of the seemingly homoerotic scenes in the film (lots of guys holding on to one another and rolling around). I did find myself incredibly bored by the whole thing and it took me a couple of days to get through it. Watching bikers ride and act out doesn't float my boat. You don't see an actual werewolf until the movie has played over an hour and that is in the dark. And these bad bikers, who have terrorized everyone they've come in contact with run like a bunch of pansies. The ending was quite convoluted and make little sense which didn't help my overall opinion of the movie.The best parts of the movie were the soundtrack and the monk ritual. However, I don't understand how a satanic ritual resulted in someone becoming a werewolf. That was a new one. If you are a biker or a fan of the biker exploitation genre, it MIGHT be worth a watch. But then again, maybe not. If you are looking for horror, look elsewhere.
PeterMitchell-506-564364 This really could have been played out like a "From Dusk Till Dawn" movie. What we've got here is the long slow grind, a boring movie with little scenes, and literally a cast of unknowns. Though the darkness of it, is impressive, you would of expected tonnes of gore, but this has chosen to go the other way. Either that, or they were working with a short budget. In it's starting, again we see what happens, if you insult a gang of mean bikers, these ones, thankless pigs. One of them in one shot, looks like World's Safari's Alby Mangels. After giving these two guys a work over and chugging down some pitchers of beer, they come across this temple, where they chill out, stuffing themselves with cloud bread and wine, fruitfully provided by these hooded cult members, spouting out hymns, whatever you call it. This part of the movie is indeed, a little freaky as it is effective. One of the girls becomes a werewolf soon after as consequence of this feast, but also I guess, belittling this religious sect. We don't see much wolf action either, one problem the movie is shot in real darkness. Though, certainly a different idea to other bikie films made around this period, there's no doubt, it's individuality. As a bikie fan, you'll never very good patience with this one. It doesn't rush for anything. Alternatively you could find yourself ejecting this one, and replacing it with Easy Rider.
Flixer1957 I caught up with this corker recently, when I picked it up on a well-known Internet site for $5.00. On DVD, enhanced for widescreen TVs. Made by people who probably never expected it to show up on TV anytime, anywhere.WEREWOLVES …opens with a bunch of bikers riding into a gas station in the Far West and terrorizing the locals, or as many locals as the budget could afford. The gang is one of the goofiest ever committed to celluloid; even at their most depraved, they're about as scary as the motorcycle morons in EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE.It should come as no surprise, then, when these geniuses: A) stop off at an isolated "monastery" that sports an evil-looking symbol over the entrance and B) chow down on bread and wine offered by strangers-- scary-looking hooded creeps led by weird-movie icon Severn Darden and C) can't figure out what's going on when, time after time, they camp out for the night and lose several of their number to "wild beasts…."As veteran exploitation fans should expect, there are more Wheels than Werewolves here; the lycanthropes appear briefly, and the photography is so dark it's hard to see them anyway. However, there is some gratuitous nudity courtesy of a fairly attractive biker-babe, not to mention brief but splashy gore scenes. This includes some ahead-of-its-time eyeball violence. There are better werewolf flicks around, but fans of flesh and blood won't go away empty-handed.
