Curiosità

Angels Hard as They Come is a 1971 biker film directed by Joe Viola and starring Scott Glenn, Charles Dierkop, Gilda Texter, James Iglehart, and Gary Busey. It was co-written and produced by Jonathan Demme.

Production

Jonathan Demme met Roger Corman while doing publicity on Von Richthofen and Brown. The producer was impressed by publicity material Demme had written and asked if he was interested in writing a motorcycle movie. Demme pitched the idea of a motorcycle version of Rashomon and wrote it with Joe Viola, who directed TV commercials Demme had produced. Corman said Demma and Viola wrote a first draft in eight weeks.

Scott Glenn recalled "You had to show up ona motorcycle because otherwise they figured that any actor would say, ‘Oh, yeah, I ride a bike,’ and they didn't want them showing up and not knowing how. I had been on motorcycles my whole life."

Glenn said actors included members of both Hells Angels and Gypsy Joker, "which was kind of interesting because those two clubs weren’t really getting along super well at the time."
