Amazing Colossal Grade: Glenn had much hate for this episode, but took Ross' code to heart, "Like peace, no war" and now he's okay
Movie Pain: High - a boring evening with uninteresting people

Skits: Nice intro, rest are throw-away

Yet another grimy Ross Hagen vehicle. In this one, Ross infiltrates a motorcycle gang in an attempt to avenge his brother's murder.
This is not one of the crew's super-shiny moments - but while I feel it runs slightly below the average, it's not completely hopeless. There are several funny lines, my favorite bit coming when Tom notices the "Double Mint Twins", with Crow observing that... "One's already been chewed".
The flashback host segments are a bore (I liked them the first time they aired but we've been there, done that), and the movie is as tiresome and joy sapping as they come. Joel sums it up perfectly when he describes the theme of the story: "We're Born, and we die and there's lots of padding in-between"
Host Segments
Intro: J&TB have colds. Invention: Joel presents the Sign Language Translator. The Mads continue to play on their hobby hogs. Segment 1: Tom's flashback: Shatner & the crawling hand from #106. Segment 2: Crow's flashback: floating skit from show #201. Segment 3:Joel's flashback: Gobo scopes from #203. End: Diaries and tender moments. Stinger: Crazy, hard to understand dude, gets tossed in the lake.

Stuff & Nonsense
One good thing about this movie was that Davie Allan and the Arrows contributed to the soundtrack. Known as the "King of Fuzz", Allan added music to other biker flicks such as, "The Born Losers (which stars Tom Laughlin, of Billy Jack fame) "Devil's Angels", "The Glory Stompers, "Hard Ride" and Roger Corman's "Wild Angels".
