The Girls from Thunder Strip is a 1970 American biker exploitation film directed by David L. Hewitt, who co-produced it with Michael Mehas. [1] [2] It also featured American Top 40 DJ Casey Kasem. [3]
The film is about a trio of hillbilly girls who take on a biker gang over moonshine. [4] [5] The story line is basically about female bootleggers taking on a biker gang which is led by a typical bad biker called Teach. [6] They have to also deal with federal agent (played by Casey Kasem) who has been sent to the area to close the whiskey operation. [7]
Jim McLennan of Film Blitz gave it a C− rating. The gratuitous nudity that would be expected of this type of exploitation film was a disappointment to him. [8]
