The Sidehackers

About This Movie

The Sidehackers is a gritty ride through the underbelly of motorcycle racing, particularly focusing on the niche sport of sidehacking, which is a bit of a rarity in film. The atmosphere has this raw, almost chaotic feel that really immerses you in the world of vengeance and tragedy. The pacing is a bit uneven, swinging from intense racing sequences to somber moments of grief. The performances, especially from the lead, are somewhat rough around the edges but add to the film's gritty charm. It's notable for its practical effects during the racing scenes, which stand out in an era when CGI was non-existent, giving it an authenticity that’s hard to find these days.

The Sidehackers has had a somewhat limited release history, making it a bit elusive for collectors. Originally released in theaters, it found its way to VHS but later became harder to track down as formats shifted. Interest in this title has been growing among genre enthusiasts, particularly those drawn to obscure action flicks from the late '60s. If you come across a copy, it’s worth snagging—especially if you appreciate a slice of motorcycle culture that’s not widely represented in film.
