The gang was going to the movies, and the vote was for "Wild Hogs"![]()
It's okay...simple-minded humor....EXTREMELY predictable...but it occurred to me that I'd already seen this movie...back in 1981!

Return of the Rebels
1981-USA-Biker Film
PLOT DESCRIPTION
Mary Beth Allen (Barbara Eden), the widow of a member of the long-defunct Eagle Rock Rebels motorcycle gang, supports herself by running a small campground. Unfortunately, the future of this enterprise is endangered by thearrival of several young punks who have been scaring off the customers and leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Riding to the rescue are Mary Beth's old pals, the ex-members of the Rebels, who have gathered at the camp for their 25-year reunion. Along the way, Mary Beth falls in love with the Rebels' now middle-aged leader, Sonny (Don Murray). The fun to be had in this made-for-TV movie is seeing such sitcom stalwarts as M*A*S*H's Jamie Farr and Soap's Robert Mandan in black leather jackets astride their souped-up Harleys. Return of the Rebels made its CBS network bow on October 17, 1981. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The bad news is...."Return of the Rebels" was much better than "Wild Hogs". How bad is it when Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, and William H. Macy are outdone by Don Murray, Robert Mandan, and Jamie 'Freakin' Farr?
Anyway....don't waste your seven bucks.
