    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      For the shot where Tom rides through the brick wall on his motorcycle, a wall was built of Styrofoam and painted to look like brick. When the stunt was first performed with the fake wall, the motorcycle shot through the structure but the rider was knocked off the cycle.
    • Goofs
      The amount of times the same vehicles were used, even after being involved in accidents. Example: when the bikers are trying to kill themselves, one rides through the side of a furniture van. Later on, the riders go past traffic and the same van is there undamaged.
    • Quotes

      Chief Inspector Hesseltine: From the look of those skidmarks, something must have forced him over. Did you get anything out of the witnesses?

      Sergeant: Yes sir. Exactly the same story from all of them. Two motorcyclists jabbing at his tyre with a knife.

      Chief Inspector Hesseltine: Any identification?

      Sergeant: Yeah, The Living Dead again.

    Fun 70s trash
    Like a few other people, I first saw this as a kid and it stuck. Anybody who remembers seeing 'Tommy' as a nipper and being hooked by it will know what I mean.

    It's really quite a terrible movie, but something saves it from being just another unwatchable 'cult' film. In fact, I would rate it as one of the better cult films I've seen.

    The film is actually well paced, and it never seems to drag. The story, although ridiculous, is easy to follow and always makes sense. The whole thing hangs together nicely.

    If your a fan of retro 1970s British culture (or atleast silly interpretations of it), this is one film to add to your collection.
