Angels Die Hard is a 1970 biker film directed by Richard Compton and starring Tom Baker and William Smith. It is the first film distributed by New World Pictures; half its budget was provided by Roger Corman.

The film—which was written in three months—revolves around a gang of bikers who try to save people from a mining accident.[2] Compton shot the film on location in Kernville, California, on the shore of Lake Isabella, an old gold-mining town that was used for filming early Hollywood Westerns.[3]
