The trouble starts when one JC and his gang bring their motorcycles to be repaired by the film's hero, Rommel. The topic of conversation turns to "sidehacking", which is basically a motorcycle race with sidecars (ostensibly for balance while turning). Rommel invites them all to his ranch to see a demonstration of this sidehacking; and JC gets totally into it, desiring to form a partership of sorts. Rommel, for reasons unspecified, is not too keen on this idea, and JC gives us a first glimpse at his [[Berserk Button|hair-trigger temper]] (further developed in a later scene in which JC [[Domestic Abuse|beats up his girlfriend Paisley]]).

It all leads to a final showdown in an old rock quarry, with the two gangs essentially wiping each other out and leaving JC and Rommel to have a climactic one-on-one. Rommel narrowly defeats his nemesis; but just as the police are finally arriving to arrest JC, [[Downer Ending|JC shoots Rommel dead]].

* [[Berserk Button]]: Any time JC doesn't get his way.

* [[Brick Joke]]: ''Very'' poorly executed. A biker is telling a joke involving prisoners shouting numbers at random. The numbers stand for jokes the prisoners already know. The next guy after him starts to tell a joke, but the first one stops him and tells him he knows that one already. [[Memetic Mutation|"That's a number 5!"]]
