I was brought out to the Mojave desert, with my brother and sister, and our mom driving.We were going to watch our father act in a movie he had written with his then pal Tom Stern. I was 13 years old and I will never forget that weekend. (nor will my mother!)The scene of the club house fight was totally spontaneous. The cameras were still getting in position and the director was blaring over the megaphone telling everyone to stay in place until he yelled "action".And all of a sudden you could hear some loud swear words and a lady started yelling and before you could say action the fight began (for real). They just turned the cameras on and got as much footage as they could! I also thought it was funny watching the REAL HELLS ANGELS ride through the desert on tiny Japanese dirt bikes in the final chase scene!
My dad is Jeremy Slate, and just passed away Nov. 18th. I will miss the life he was so full of.He found a place to fit in five decades of Hollywood. He did get into the b-biker films(were any of them A?)(OK....Easy Rider),check out "Born Losers",(the first Billie Jack Movie).
He played many a bad man in hundreds of westerns,(True Grit..he cuts off Denise Hoppers fingers..yeah!)
He played the suave second fiddle to Frankie Avolon(I'll take Sweden) and Elvis Pressly(Girls,Girls,Girls!).
Anyway I give the movie a "10". My Dad wrote it and starred in it.What did you think I'd give it? Rest in peace dad, jer
