The Jesus Trip...(1971)

The Jesus Trip is an early 70's (though it's look is pure late 1960's) exploitation biker movie, loosely based around the same synopsis as Easy Rider, only with a nun falling in love with a biker! When the police discover that their motorcycles are concealing heroin, Waco (Robert Porter) and his motorcycle gang hides out in a desert convent. A highway patrolman (Billy 'Green' Bush) hunts down the gang after they kidnap a nun, Sister Anna (Tippy Walker) and flee the convent. Soon Waco and the young nun fall in love and she is forced to decide whether or not to leave the church for him. And so it goes

The Jesus Trip original trailer (1971).

The film is famous for the line about 'The Jesus & Mary Chain', inspiring the Glasgow band to use the name. The Jesus & Mary Chain also went on to use a still from the film as the image for the 'April Skies' single cover.
