Wild Rebels is a 1967 film directed by William Grefe. It was on Mystery Science Theater 3000 and was released on the volume nine box set. The tag line for the movie was "They live for kicks... love for kicks... kill for kicks".
The film starred Steve Alaimo as Rod Tillman, a stock car driver that goes undercover as the wheel man for a motorcycle gang. Matthew J. Sanderson summed up the movie as follows:
| “ | Rod Tillman is a stock car driver who’s all out of money. As stockcar drivers who are all out of money tend to do, he sells his trailer and hangs out in a swinging ’60s bar. In one of these bars, he meets the WIIIIIILD REBELS, three bikers and a lady who want Rod to drive the getaway car for their ‘jobs.’ As you might expect, they all have wacky names, like Banjo and Fats and Moon Zoom and Droppo. Despite giving him free use of the lady, Linda, Rod opts out. On his way out, he gets recruited by the police to go undercover amongst the bikers, who somehow are rather ’smart’ criminals. Though initially successful, Rod’s cover is eventually blown during a bank robbery, and those wild, wild rebels take him hostage, forcing him to drive them across miles of dense shrubbery. The gang finally decides to stop and shoot it out with the cops in the most logical place imaginable, a lighthouse. (Well, I can see- HUH?!) Needless to say, the three bikers die and Linda has a change of heart, saving the life of our wounded hero. So, Linda goes off to a life in prison and Rod starts a beautiful friendship with the doughy Lieutenant Dorn. | ” |
