Plot
Bad taste slasher-movies never had it so good. In this horror/comedy movie, the film's hero purchases an antique motorcycle. Somehow, the bike gets a taste for blood, and behaves in every respect just like a traditional vampire (shunning crucifixes, etc.). It also has a taste for human and animal flesh, and is given to dismembering its victims. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle is a 1990 low-budget horrorspoof about a motorcycle possessed by an evil spirit.
Set in a Birmingham, England suburb, the film is about a man named Noddy and his girlfriend Kim who operate a motorcycle courier business. One day Noddy bought a classic motorbike, a 750cc Norton Commando, and restored it. That motorbike, however, is possessed by the evil spirit of a man who was being summoned by an occultist who was killed by a motorbike gang. Whenever the spirit is overcome by a seeming blood lust, the bike would start up, ride on its own and kill people, particularly members of the Hells Angels[1].
Michael Elphick plays Inspector Cleaver and Anthony Daniels plays the eccentric priest who attempts to exorcise the bike’s evil spirit. [2]
A motorbike gang kills an occultist. An evil spirit inhabits a damaged bike. The vehicle becomes a bloodthirsty monster that exacts revenge on the gang that killed the man.
The White Swan pub in Henley-in-Arden provided accommodation and catering for the film and was, at the time, owned and run by Michael Elphick. [3]
The location used for Noddy and Kim's house had been used in the third TV Series of Boon for the offices of "Texas Rangers". [4]
The vampire motorcycle is a 750cc Norton Commando. [4]
The Traffic Warden scene was More Gory but Had to be Cut and it's confirmed that It is shown On the Uncut Extended VHS Version Which Was Released In 1993 But Nothing Hasn't been Confirmed if it's true or not.
