Scorpio Rising is an avant-garde, experimental film by Kenneth Anger, author of Hollywood Babylon, starring Bruce Byron as the biker Scorpio. It features themes of homosexual erotica, leather-clad bikers, the occult, Jesus and Nazis. The film was produced in 1964 and initially shown on the underground film circuit. The film features no lines of dialogue, accompanied instead by music from popular 50's and 60's artists including Ricky Nelson, The Angels, Bobby Vinton, Elvis Presley, Ray Charles and Martha Reeves & the Vandellas. It is considered to be one of the first post-modern films and an influence to future directors such as Martin Scorsese and David Lynch.
