This is not Nam's Angels. It's Nam Angels. That one was made in 1970 and was also known as The Losers. This one in the late 80s in the Philippines.
Lt. Vance Calhoun (Brad Johnson, who was a rodeo cowboy and former Marlboro Man who later was in Always, Flight of the Intruder and played Rayford Steele in the Left Behind movies) is a West Texas soldier with a lasso and a sawed-off shotgun who has taken on a dangerous rescue mission to get some POWs back from Vietnam. Luckily, he has five Hell's Angels - Larger (Rick Dean, Tales from the Hood), Bonelli (Mark Venturini, Suicide from Return of the Living Dead!), Carmody (Jeff Griffith, The Sisterhood) and Turko (Romy Diaz) - who are ready to fight anyone, anywhere, even if Calhoun tells them they're on a very different mission.
Vernon Wells plays - well, he's Vernon Wells so you know he's completely insane throughout - Chard, a guy who has gone all Heart of Darkness in Vietnam and encourages the villagers to kill everyone on every side of the battle. After all, they have gold to keep safe. That gold is what Calhoun tells the bikers they're after, not a mission of mercy.
The theme song from this movie does not fit at all and that's probably why I love it so much.
A Concorde Roger Corman release directed by Cirio H. Santiago, this movie will definitely do the job if you can't find an Arnold, Chuck, JCVD or Stallone movie.
