Motorcyclists are typically portrayed on film as dangerous, rebellious outlaws. But, to be fair, they have also been portrayed as cool, philosophical thinkers and confused, sensitive hunks. American-International handled the earliest portrayals in Motorcycle Gang and Dragstrip Riot in the fifties, and then satirized them in Eric Von Ripper and his gang in the beach movies that were popular in the sixties. From then on, biker films were known for their shock value, and when they lost that they ran out of road. This filmography covers 58 biker films, and provides a synopsis, an analysis and cast and production credits for each film. Some of the films included are Angel Unchained, The Angry Breed, The Born Losers, The Dirt Gang, Easy Rider, The Hard Ride, Hell's Angels on Wheels, The Limit, The Loners, The Miniskirt Mob, Motor Psycho, and Outlaw Riders.
