Angels Hard as They Come is a 1971 biker film produced by Jonathan Demme.
Jonathan Demme met Roger Corman while doing publicity on Von Richthofen and Brown. The producer was impressed by publicity material Demme had written and asked if he was interested in writing a motorcycle movie. Demme pitched the idea of a motorcycle version of Rashomon and wrote it with Joe Viola, who directed TV commercials Demme had produced.
The film was very successful with Corman saying it earned rentals of over $700,000 and returning a profit of 46% within the first year.
