- However, I nominate "Chopper Chicks from Zombietown" as the absolutely
- WORST "biker" movie ever made, far outdoing all those '60 s flicks made
- after the success of Easy Rider. This "movie" which features a female
- biker gang battling a town of dead people who have come to life as
- zombies, because of a maniacal funeral director, is so dumb it's
- hilarious.
-
- As runner up, I nominate any movie with Peter Fonda on a bike.
