Complete Record: This popular "underground" film consists of a biker's play and maintenance of his motorcycle. The biker suits up in leather, and his buddy's apartment is filmed in detail down to the comics page he reads and his cat. The lighting and studied realism are intercut toward the end with an old movie of Jesus and views of Hitler as motorcycles race into the night, ending with flashing police-car lights.
