"Satin's choice" the lingerie store or "Satan's Choice" the bike gang. Sorry, no idea about the movie, but I love the period footage! I forgot that the police car's "cherries" actually looked like cherries at one point!

Edit: Searched "Satan's Choice" and came up with this:

Satan's Choice (1965)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0170548/

Filmed by the National Film Board of Canada


"A rare "inside" view of a motorcycle club in Toronto, one of the network of such fraternal groups in the large centers across North America. The names they adopt (Satan's Choice is only one) are as individual as their special ethics and views of life, all freely expressed in this film.

1965, 27 min 56 s"

***SPOILER ALERT!!!****





































*** YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ***





"This is a fascinating National Film Board documentary about the Satan's Choice motorcycle gang. What makes it so interesting is that they are not a gang (yet). At this point, 1965, they are apparently just an extension of radical 1960's youth culture. The "club" members view themselves as counter-culture rebels, which perhaps comes as no surprise, but they are staunchly opposed to the crass commercialism of conventional society, or so they say. It's possible to read the members as working-class, left-wing idealists striving to recreate some simpler society. Loafing layabouts is another way to take them. They talk a lot about how in a couple of years they will have to settle down, get married, and get proper jobs, but for the time being they are busy drinking beer at the clubhouse (out of old-style Canadian stubbies) and racing their motorcycles up dirt tracks on hillsides. Just kids having fun before they grow up.

It's possible that the director, Don Shebib, was naive and was completely deceived. But you get to see the interior of the clubhouse, with its sparse furnishings of a secondhand chesterfield or two. The members do not appear to have much money, and the irregular jobs a few of them mention would account for the little they do have.

One is led to the conclusion that the director captured them as they really were, prior to their transformation into a motorcycle gang as we understand them today. It is worthwhile to note that the director made a second short film in 1967, also called Satan's Choice, about a trial concerning some of the people shown in this film. Did the club evolve into a gang between 1965 and 1967?

The music in the film is provided by The Sparrow (not "the Sparrows", as the Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll prefers to call them). The Sparrow were part of the Yorkville folk music scene in Toronto in the mid-'60's, along with others soon to be famous such as Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and Rick James. The Sparrow are much better known under the name the reformed group adopted in L.A. in 1968, Steppenwolf."

I used to watch E.N.G all the time.

My uncle was a choice member in the late 60's and I can tell you they were not a gang at all, but a bunch of motorcylce enthusiast's, until later when things changed and he got out.
Talk about police harrasment back then ... was brutal from the stories he has told me.

I remember seeing a movie about Satan's Choice. I believe I saw it at a drive-in and it was a feature length film. I think it was about a guy who was trying to get into the club. I'll never forget there was a scene in which there was a big party at a farm and the president of the club was there with his "old lady". The "babe" was a good 250 lbs and the pres. was a good size too. The fat pig (sorry, I mean large woman) was a little on the ugly side as well. She had the hots for the young buck that was trying to get into the club and she was pretty out-going about it too. The pres told the striker to go ahead and drive the wedge into his woman but the guy was extremely reluctant. Now the babe keeps going after him and she's getting annoyed because he doesn't want any part of her and she's starting to realize why (she's fat and ugly) so he finally says that he can't do the nasty with her because he has the dose. She laughs and says "That's okay, so do I" and hauls him down into the hay mound.
He should have got an Acadamy Award for the look on his face afterwards.

Not only do I recognize it ... I have SEARCHING for it for years. The second man in the clip is my DAD!!!! He was the acting president of the Choice at the time the movie was filmed.

Where did you get your copy on DVD???? I have been searching high and low for years. My Dad died several years after the movie was released and my wife and kids never got to meet him and I thought it'd be great to show them the movie.

Any help you could give would be great!!!

Thanks in advance!!!!

There were 2 movies made that I know of featuring Satan's Choice from Toronto. The first was in 1965 made by the National Film Board of Canada. 65 was the year the club was put back together by Bernie Guindon. It was comprised of the Golden Hawk Riders, Phantom Riders, Canadian Lancers, the Throttle Twisters and the Wild Ones. You can buy the documenary from the NFB ay this link:

The other movie, The Proud Rider is a little harder to find. The cheapest I can find one is for $100.00 even. I thought maybe if anyone wanted copies we could share the pain and make a couple of copes among us. If you're interested send me a message or email here.
