The 15 Best Biker Movies


‘The Bikeriders’ is an anomaly in 2024, but there was a time when outlaw bikers regularly fascinated and terrified moviegoers.

But what makes Delinquent GIrl Boss stand out is pop singer Akiko Wada as lone biker Ako, a queer-coded “tall woman” in lipstick and short bobbed hair who sings a forlorn musical number and gives the movie its best motorcycle action scene. This is, understandably, upsetting, and so the statuesque blonde rallies her biker buddies and sets off, as the film’s tagline infamously states, on “a hot steel hog on a roaring rampage of revenge.” The journey to get there is appealingly plotless, following Dag and pals on a picaresque trip through subcultural SoCal in search of the killer. Good thing this movie makes drag racing with the girls seem infinitely better than cooking dinner for some square; a rough-and-tumble bisexual leopard print Xanadu of hair-pulling, go-go boots with miniskirts, and Dolemite-style spoken word interludes.
