Tagline: "The gang thought it was tough… 'Til it found a new type of hell."
Plot: The Devil's Advocates, a gang of bikers with a not-so-threatening name, spends its days terrorizing yokels, getting drunk, and screwing. It's the usual biker-gang stuff, until the bikers cross paths with a group of Satan-worshipping monks. After a brief melee, the Advocates hit the road, only to find that that not everyone has left the devil's monastery unchanged. (Hint: Check the title.)
Key scenes: An extended Satanic ritual unfolds as these things usually do: It begins with cat-killing and ends in nude dancing. Otherwise, the movie doesn't miss a biker-movie cliché: some drugs here, some philosophizing under the stars there. (Most of the latter comes courtesy of a character named "Tarot.") It takes a long time for the werewolves to show up. Even once they do, Werewolves On Wheels concentrates more on fistfights than fangs, and only in the final moments does the movie live up to its title by putting a werewolf on a motorcycle.
Can easily be distinguished by: On the other hand, it's almost certainly the only werewolf motorcycle movie ever made.
Sign that it was made in 1971: Even though they're living free, the Advocates all appear to suffer from post-Easy Rider malaise in addition to lycanthropy. Also, "Eve Of Destruction" singer Barry McGuire plays the part of "Scarf."
Timeless message: Satanism will harsh your mellow every damn time, bro.
Memorable quotes: Summing up the situation, star Stephen Oliver informs his gang, "Something happened. Something spiritual that you guys don't want to relate to."
