This one's a guilty pleasure as it's pretty misogynistic and exploitative throughout but there is a solid chase movie underneath all that. I think Michael Winner must have been watching because there's one memorable scene that's near-identical to one in Chato's Land a few year's later.
Russ Tamblyn is Anchor, leader of a gang of Hell's Angels who set off on a killing spree set to inappropriately breezy songs on the soundtrack. Gary Kent is Johnny Martin an ex-Marine who rescues a waitress from their clutches and heads off into the desert with the gang in pursuit.
