Spunky Sheila, her equally perky sister Sherry, and their sheltered virginal pal Priss are a trio of bored thrill-seekers from Colorado who decide to embark on a cross country motorcycle trip to the California coast. During their eventful pilgrimage Priss gets raped, our trio have two of their bikes stolen, and they encounter a colorful assortment of folks on the side of the road such as a sassy fat black mama, a pervy cop, a sinister dope pusher and his hophead girlfriend, and even some sleazy peeping tom in a pick-up truck with a skull and crossbones painted on the side.
Directors John Arnoldy and Peter Perry Jr. keep the enjoyable episodic narrative zipping along at a snappy pace, astutely capture a delightfully breezy'n'easy carefree vibe (you'll have a hard time getting the jaunty country theme song "Cruisin' Down the Road" out of your head), and sprinkle in a satisfying smattering of tasty bare female skin for extra good trashy measure. Granted, Loraine Ferris, Daphne Lawrence, and Deborah Marcus may not be the most capable of actresses, but they nonetheless make for very attractive, appealing, and animated protagonists just the same. Ron Garcia's sunny cinematography offers a wealth of picturesque visuals. The surprise bummer ending packs a startling nihilistic punch. A real vintage 70's grindhouse cinema blast.
