Another Hollywood version of The 1960s Counterculture, in this one a band of schizoid bikers meet a van of wasted hippies in a weird ghost town, and their mutual anarchy evolves into a free-form orgy. The two groups seem originally destined for compatibility, with their goal-less philosophy and wandering nomadic lifestyle, but the disparity between the pacification of the hippies and the impulsive, war-like misery of the alcoholic bikers soon erupts into all-out war, symbolized by the rape/murder of a hippie chick.


Gary Busey – Hollywood Bad Boy

Angels co-star Gary Busey, who hit the big time with his dead-on portryal of Rock Legend Buddy Holly, has since become one of Hollywood's Baddest Boys with a reputation for difficult behavior on the set that far proceeds him. Not above satire, he poked fun at this image on his Comedy Central Reality TV series "I'm With Busey."
