"Five the Hard Way" (aka "The Sidehackers") doesn't know whether it wants to be a sports movie or a revenge story. Sidehacking is apparently a sport in which a motorcycle is affixed with a side-cart so that a person can hang off and help the rider steer. In the movie, a group of hoodlums tries to get in on the action, but the main sidehacker (Ross Hagen) tells them off. When the girlfriend of the lead hoodlum comes on to him, he tells her off, prompting the hoodlums to murder his girlfriend Rita (Diane McBain). From then on, the movie is all about revenge. About the only redeeming aspect of the whole movie is that Rita is quite hot. The "MST3K" version of this movie makes it watchable.
