I just found an old VHS copy of 'The Northville Cemetry Massacre' at the back of the crate which was interesting. A couple of bad cops set up a passing motorcycle gang, then hunt them down, resulting in the said massacre. A real bike gang star, and this gives the film an edge, even though it's a bit tongue in cheek at times. Good low budget, mid 70s tackle, with a very tasty soundtrack.
