The Hellcats are an outlaw motorcycle gang who spend their days swilling beer, looking for kicks and supporting their nomadic lifestyle by acting as drug mules for a small but powerful crime syndicate. An undercover cop was on the verge of infiltrating the Hellcats when the mobsters found him out and had him murdered; the late detective's fiancée Linda (Dee Duffy) meets his brother, former Army sergeant Monte (Ross Hagen), and they decide to pick up where he left off by posing as bikers and joining the gang to ferret out the killers. Monte and Linda soon discover that while the men do most of the carousing in the Hellcats, it's the biker mamas who do most of the work in transporting heroin, and Linda forms a dangerous alliance with Shelia (Sharyn Kinzie), the brains of the drug-running outfit to maintain her cover. Meanwhile, Monte finds Shelia is falling for his moody charm, despite Linda's clear disapproval. Del "Sonny" West, a member of Elvis Presley's "Memphis Mafia," appears in the supporting cast as a biker named Snake. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

I wanted to get on here and rip on this for being a bit of a rip-off of Easy Rider, but it turns out that this came first by two years. The Hellcats is one of those movies you wish you'd never seen. It's absolutely terrible, and not in an enjoyable way. It's just boring. The plot involves a couple of people going undercover as bikers to infiltrate a biker gang and figure out who killed someone they knew. Well, that's supposed to be what it's about. It wanders all over the place, taking its time with lengthy scenes that have really nothing to do with the main plot or even any semblance of a subplot. I understand that the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 guys took this movie to town, but I don't see how. There's nothing really to talk about, so I applaud them for finding something positive out of this mess of a movie. Even the main title music is annoying. I guess what I'm so delicately trying to say is skip this movie altogether. It's a waste of anyone's time.

This movie is below average when it comes to biker flicks, yes, but I think the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 guys make it seem worse than it really is. There is a plot: a cop's brother is killed by a biker gang that is being exploited by mobsters, and he goes undercover with his… More
This movie is below average when it comes to biker flicks, yes, but I think the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 guys make it seem worse than it really is. There is a plot: a cop's brother is killed by a biker gang that is being exploited by mobsters, and he goes undercover with his sister in law to get revenge and justice on both the gang and the mobsters. Why did the guys keep saying there was no plot? There was a lot of bad editing and technical stuff going on in this movie, though, and none of the actors really stood out, but I didn't think the story was as bad as people say. Overall it's not a good movie, but it's not horrible.
