Thanks to Worst Previews, we now have a restricted clip from the upcoming “Hell Ride” movie starring Larry Bishop, Vinnie Jones, Dennis Hopper and Michael Madsen.
Writer/director Larry Bishop takes on a third role as Pistolero, head honcho of the Victors, a group of badass bikers who are out to avenge the murder of one of their members at the hands of the 666ers, a rival gang whose actions live up to their hellish moniker. Along with his cohorts, the Gent (deviously portrayed by Michael Madsen) and the mysterious Comanche (Eric Balfour), Pistolero aims to take down the Deuce and Billy Wings, menacing leaders of the 666ers, but a mutiny looms on the horizon when his commitment to profit is questioned by a few of his fellow Victors.

‘Palermo Shooting’ - Wim Wenders - Cannes 2008
‘Palermo Shooting’ premieres on Saturday, the day before the winner of the festival’s coveted Palme d’Or is announced
Wim Wenders, who won the Palme d’Or for his 1984 movie, “Paris, Texas,” is to screen “The Palermo Shooting,” a romantic thriller with a multilingual, multinational cast, Dennis Hopper, Giovanna Mezzogiorno and Milla Jovovich.
As a successful photographer of world-wide renown, Finn leads a life that is as prominent as it is hectic. He gets by with very little sleep, his cell phone is never still, and the music from his headphones is his most constant companion.
But when his life suddenly spins out of control, Finn takes off and leaves everything behind. His journey leads him from Düsseldorf to Palermo. There he finds himself persecuted by a mysterious shooter who’s after him with a vengeance. At the same time a whole new life is beginning for Finn. And a great love…
Campino, singer with German punk band Die Toten Hosen, stars as Finn, a photographer from Dusseldorf. Here he is shown capturing model Milla Jovovich (she plays herself), who was actually pregnant during filming.
At the start of the film, Finn is shown to be a photographer of some renown, but as his life starts to unravel he decides to leave all the success behind.
On his journey into the unknown, he finds himself tracked by a mysterious assassin and encounters the ominous Frank, played by Dennis Hopper, who warns him that death is not far away.
Finn’s destination is Palermo, where he meets the beautiful Flavia (Giovanna Mezzogiorno). In Sicily’s capital, Finn and Flavia fall in love and Finn begins a new life, with renewed hope.
