I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

I must say, here was a bikie flick that really disappointed me. It's the most disappointing bikie flick I've seen in my life, when I first saw it at the tender age of fifteen. The title is fantastic and the cover was so appealing, but appearances can be deceiving. How can such a great titled movie represent such a dull film? Just watch Chrome And Hot Leather. Now some people may think I'm quite hard on this. Let me give you the rundown here. It has a good story/revenge premise of an ex green beret and his mob avenging a vicious gang of bikers, who've killed his fiancée. No surprise the lead bikie here is played by William Smith from The Losers, another bikie film, who came close to this on disappointed me, in it's first view, some shades of familiarity between the two as well. The Losers had a couple of men in berets too. Why you may ask this film doesn't work. In the violence and action department, it's remarkably restrained, and there's a lot of nothing happening moments, where the end is really when the movie perks. It's just flat, with nothing happening-ness. If judging the cover too, the movie looked more recent like eighties. We did have that rush of revenge running through our veins to see this beret to kick arse, only there wasn't enough kicking arse. Too much waiting around. We needed many more emotionally charged, and anger driven moments, that required more plot points, or even turning points. Trivia note. The lead beret, and other actor Peter Brown both starred in Rape Squad as very bad guys/rapists. And again, my true thoughts here: someone should rape this movie, before it's hired out again.

For the most part, I agree with most of the previous user comments - "Chrome and Hot Leather" is a terrible movie. It's hard to believe that American-International Pictures, who were usually experts at drive in movies, would pick this up for distribution. It's a slow-moving exercise that has very little exploitation material - no nudity or sex, no foul language, and the violence is almost totally confined to the opening and closing. No one in the cast gives a good performance, and the musical score is one of the worst I've heard from a movie for a long time.Still, the movie is not completely without merit. Praise should be given to the movie by going against the norm of the time and depicting the military protagonists as real heroes. They are loyal and professional, and of sound minds. And they manage to defeat the bikers without killing any of them! It's too bad these likable heroes couldn't have been in a better movie.

One thing I hardly thought I'd think about a biker film is that it was dull, but oddly enough, that's how I felt about "Chrome and Hot Leather". This is because although the plot sure sounds exciting, the film is very tepid--far more so that you'd ever expect.The film begins with a biker gang, the Wizards, out having fun. One of the gang members goes too far and ends up killing a couple innocent girls. One of the dead girls was the fiancée of a Sergeant and when this military man finds out, he and his friends vow to find those responsible and punish them. So far, all this sounds pretty exciting. However, the next half hour or so of the film is very slow and nothing happens apart from a stupid montage (complete with BAD music) showing the soldiers learning to ride motorcycles as well as them asking folks a lot of questions about the killing. Eventually, something does happen--but by then my attention began to wane because I kept waiting for action and it was so slow in coming and the biker gang sure turned out to be a bunch of wimps! What EVENTUALLY comes is not very satisfying and not enough to merit spending all this time watching the movie. About the only interesting thing is seeing Marvin Gaye (yes, THAT Marvin Gaye) playing one of the soldiers. That, and the line where William Smith (the leader of the baddies) tells Gabriel "...can't you see I am trying to menace someone?!" That was pretty funny. Otherwise, you could do better--even with another biker film.By the way....some of the soldiers needed haircuts and NEVER would have been allowed to sport such hairdos! And, you'd think with Marvin Gaye in the film that there'd be good music, but instead the producer got some talentless folks to provide crappy music.

So Bad! I thought it was Grad School Project! Over all it was very amateurish.. Even someone with some talent ie. Peter Brown could not help this turkey. It was like a group got together and said "lets make a Movie!" They missed!
