How Come Nobody's on Our Side? is a 1974 American film which was a spoof of biker movies.
The film was made in 1972. In an interview from that year Adam Roarke said co produced it with Larry Bishop and Rob Reiner (although neither are credited as producers).[1] "It's about a couple of guys who can't do anything right, a spoof of motorcycle pictures," said Roarke, who had appeared in a number of biker films (as had co star Bishop).[2]
Roarke invested much of his own money into the film, which took several years to find a release. "I didn't just raise the money to make this film," he said in 1974, "I had to hock my own house."[3]
The movie was released to cinemas in 1974 although a 1976 article said the film "has run into distribution problems."[4]
Two Hollywood stuntmen, Person and Brandy, hit the road on their motorbikes and have various adventures.
Shock magazine said "While it's cool to see Roarke and Bishop in top-billed biker roles, the end result goes straight into the shithole after 15 minutes, and the moment they steal a tank, it careens over the insufferably-wacky borderline."[5]
