Coss Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 There is also a 2019 TV series, that does the story justice. IMHO the movie leaves too much of the story on the cutting room floor. Book 9/10, Movie 6/10, TV series 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coss Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 If I remember, there wasn't any secrecy, a bunch of religious freaks, decided that their view of god, was more important than someone's life. Widely reported at the time. As it is with most religions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Outlaw Chronicles: Hells Angels Drama | TV Series (2015– ) (6 episodes) The Hells Angels are one of, if not the most notorious motorcycle club in history. In this series a former Hells Angels member will reveal the club's secrets. Everything will be told about initiation rites and murder for hire. Stars: George Christie, Jay Dobyns, Ronald Puckett Interesting but the editing was poor. A 45 min episode should have been 20 min as they were constantly repeating themselves. ** 1/2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
