Hell Ride is an American feature film from Larry Bishop being released under the “Quentin Tarantino Presents” banner. The film promises to be a blood and sex-soaked tale of motorcycle revenge and retribution. Bishop took extra duties on this film by not only starring in it, but wrote, directed and co-produced with Michael Steinberg and Shana Stein producing and Quentin Tarantino taking on the job of Executive Producer.
This is Bishop’s modern-day take on those 1960s motorcycle flicks he used to turn out for B-movie masters American International Pictures. It’s the project Tarantino inspired Bishop to begin some five and a half years ago, when he told Larry, “It is your destiny to write, direct and star in a movie,'” and said he would help produce it.
Hell Ride premiered at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival and a trailer can be seen on Larry Bishop stars as bad-ass biker Pistolero, (named after the original title for Robert Rodriguez’s Desperado) who along with The Gent (Michael Madsen) and Comanche (Eric Balfour), hit the road to avenge the death of Pistolero’s old lady Cherokee Kisum (Julia Jones) by the 666ers, a rival motorcycle gang. Vinnie Jones and bike riding legend David Carradine star as members of the satanic biker gang the 666ers. Dennis Hopper stars as an old member of Pistoleros gang.
