| Overview: | 60's punk car thieves gone WILD!
Arch Hall Jr. writes and stars in this 1961 black and white "beat" generation punk classic about a young hot-rodder who becomes involved with a gang of car thieves and a crooked salvage yard owner. Their scheme of using a farm truck and short-wave radios to steal and chop cars by the side of the highway works find until the police start to piece the clues together. When the cops turn up the heat on the crooked chop shop owner, he tells the punks to lay low... but the money and crime is too addicting, and they force the salvage yard owner to stay in the game, a game that turns deadly.
Featuring cheesy dialogue and continuity errors galore, and even a musical performance by Hall singing "Monkeys in my Hat Band", "The Choppers" is classic 60s hot rod punk cinema at its finest.
