“Like it or not, Werewolves On Wheels is the undisputed best of the biker/werewolf sub-genre. A chillinu0026#39; little B-movie, that is well aware that it is a B-movie, hence the title. You can really tell these guys had fun making this. We begin with a biker gang riding across country. These arenu0026#39;t just any bikers, theyu0026#39;re The Devilu0026#39;s Advocates, so we already know theyu0026#39;re mean mothers. In reality, The Devilu0026#39;s Advocates are a bunch of crude, obnoxious drug-addicts on motorcycles, who like to think theyu0026#39;re in cahoots with the Devil, but lately, there is some kind of evil hovering over them. As luck would have it, there is a psychic in the group, so, you know that heu0026#39;ll shed some light on the situation so they can locate this evil, and kick its ass. They decide that a nearby satanic church is the root of their alleged problems, once they arrive, theyu0026#39;re distracted by all the free wine from the satanic monks, which gives them the chance to place a curse on The Devilu0026#39;s Advocates. A curse that would leave, at least one of them a werewolf. Now, with all of this going on, the guys decide to take it to the desert, so they can clear their heads, and say their ooblah-dooblahu0026#39;s, but, not before kicking all the monku0026#39;s asses. Now, among the wide-open freedom of the desert, The Devilu0026#39;s Advocates can get as drunk, high, and rowdy as they please. The only problem is, every time everyone passes out, someone gets torn to shreds. Who knows? Maybe the psychic can help matters. Probably not, though.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWerewolves on Wheels, above all, is a good old-fashion fun B-movie, without a lot of thought put into continuity, or script, for that matter. They just went out there and entertained the drive-in crowd that it was clearly intended for. True, they could have explained things a little better, and the killings could have been better/gorier, but the atmosphere, score, and of course, the cheesy entertainment value more than make up for the flaws. For a much better example of a werewolf movie, check out Ginger Snaps, and for a much better example of life in the desert, check out The Chooper. Werewolves On Wheels certainly isnu0026#39;t one of the all time greats in werewolf horror, but as far as the biker/werewolf sub genre goes, look no further, because Werewolves On Wheels is the measuring stick. 7/10”
