Members of the Grave Diggers Motorcycle Club are being knocked off one by one, and someone needs to find out why! Sandy Harbutts timeless Australian cult film about a bunch of regegades riding Kawasaki 900s. An Australian Cult Classic. For anyone in the U.S or in the U.K who hasn&#39;t seen or heard of this film, check it out! Sure the acting is corny but hell, that&#39;s why you watch B-Grade films isn&#39;t it? Most of all this tale of a mystery hitman bumping of members of the Grave Diggers Motorcycle Club is good fun to watch and should be on the &#39;must see&#39; list of any cult or Australian movie lover. The seventies hold a special place in time for me. 1974 was all about (in no particular order) Motorcycles, beer, LSD, marijuana, underground comics (freak brothers), Hawkwind, my girlfriend Karen and of course Stone (the movie).<br/><br/>Outlaw Motorcycle clubs were a lot different in Sydney back then, riding motorcycles (and drinking beer) was our only purpose in life. Back then only an idiot would ride a Harley and the dream bike was the Kawasaki Z1 900 that had only just been released. So imagine a film like Stone blasting it&#39;s way onto the screen resplendent with custom painted Kawa 900&#39;s! We were mesmerized, personally I remember seeing it 6 times at the local cinema.<br/><br/>Watching it today opens the gates to memory lane, those that use the F3 freeway north of Sydney will appreciate the shots of the road in the funeral procession scene; the road was brand new then! And the shots of the lower North Shore and Pittwater are truly a piece of Sydney&#39;s history. Note the absence of traffic.<br/><br/>Forget the acting, when you&#39;re 18, off your nut on drugs and that Z1 starts up with the baffles removed at the beginning of the movie, it&#39;s mind blowing!!! Non bikers can turn off here :O) Midnight&#39;s black Kawa 900 was my favorite, come to think of it, how many indigenous Aussies had a real part in a movie before this? Not many I&#39;d say…<br/><br/>I&#39;ve now been riding bikes for 35 years now and Stone still holds a special place in my heart. 10 outa 10 for Sandy.<br/><br/>Cosmic flash, and there ya go…<br/><br/>Mick.
