Standout Aspects

Practical Effects

Real bikes destroyed, real bones probably broken.

Costume

Punk leather aesthetics that aged like cheap tequila.

Sound

Federico Villa's musical numbers in a crime film? Absolutely.

Best for:Friends: Trash cinema night with beers and zero expectations.·Background: Chaotic energy while doing literally anything else.·Rewatch: Spot which stunts actually killed someone. (Kidding. Mostly.)
Heads up:Violence: Highway robbery scenes with actual vehicle destruction.·Sexual Content: Gratuitous 80s exploitation content, fairly mild by standards.
