Get an inside look at the bizarre lifestyles of the outlaw bikers in Naked Angels. Although the cast is made up of UCLA film students, they were advised by a former member of the Hell's Angels, and the film has a gritty real feeling. A returning forward observer back from Vietnam eats a lizard whole on camera as a dare. Financed by Roger Corman, and produced by film student David Dawdy the film utilized Francis Ford Coppola's camera truck and technician. It was written in three weekends and shot in three weeks.
The story concerns a death feud between two rival biker gangs. The Angels are out to revenge themselves on the Las Vegas Hotdoggers who severely beat their leader, Mother (Michael Greene).
As the story opens, Mother is just returning to the Angels and his old lady, Marlene (Jennifer Gan) who had become the property of Fingers (Richard Rust) the new head of the clan. When Mother reappears he quickly reassumes leadership of the gang as well as the rights to the strawberry blond, lascivious, foul mouthed Marlene.
The Angels go looking for the Hotdoggers at their hangout, a bar in Vegas. Not finding their rivals, the Angels bust up the bar and terrorize the local citizenry. A lone Hotdogger betrays his gang and tells the Angels of a secret mine hangout in the desert where they can find his gang.
Later that evening, Mother and Marlene are riding his chopper around Vegas, when a showgirl in a car catches his eye. He splits with the showgirl and when he returns, Marlene is livid with rage. Setting out into the desert, the Angels and Mother argue about what to do and how to travel through the desert. Marlene opens her mouth and says what everyone in the gang is thinking. Mother gets angry and says that everyone in the gang can have Marlene. There are no takers, as even the gang members cannot go so low, so Mother takes off on his own.
