silly, inept, biker vs. buggy fluff
Milpool2 August 1999
A thoroughly inept film which looks as if it were filmed in super 8 or some equivalent, Wild Wheels should well be left alone. Story concerns a group of dune-buggy-riding beach bums who fend off an arriving gang of motorcycle lunkheads, lead by Casey Kasem. Even if you like trash, you might still find this one boring and unwatchable. Incredibly bad.

Bottom of the Biker Barrel? If Not, it's real close
Scott_Mercer11 December 2010
Mindbogglingly stupid movie that has bikers (bad guys) battling beach-based dune buggy riders (good guys).

Low budget garbage with ludicrous directing choices, howlingly bad writing and pointless story developments. No bonus points for spotting the boom mikes at the top of the picture, they are too obvious. The acting is so over-the-top I'll bet every one of the actors was taken to the hospital with food poisoning for chewing the scenery. There is also tons of unnecessary padding, with musical numbers galore. Amazing how they can lip-synch an invisible horn section and fade down the song in a live performance in a tiny dive bar with five musicians.

Of course, no bad biker movie would be complete without many overly long scenes of bikers riding the back roads of California with twangy guitar licks pulsating on the soundtrack. This movie has the minimum daily requirement of those.

Probably even worse than "The Hellcats." Almost as funny as my favorite bad Biker Film, "The Tormentors," and like that joint, "Wild Wheels" also has trained walrus Bruce Kimball in a major role as one of the bad guy bikers.

All but the most dedicated bad movie fans would be advised to stay away.

worst biker joke ever
ebra8820 March 2016
if 2 of my friends weren't in this I would never have watched it!!!

Poor filming, poor lighting, poor sound track even with Terry Stafford< and bad everything else!!!

Bet Mama never financed another one for her baby!!!

Never picked up storyline...if there was one!

.don't waste your time and money!

Terry Stafford? Kasey Kasem? Such wasted talent.

Probably scores well in Worst 10 Biker Movies ever.

Have doubts as to the box office as it may not have been released in theatres????

Oldest cast ever filmed...these were bikers and rockers???? In the 50's maybe!

Close the door, most of the cast never got work again!
