Wild

 

THE WILD RIDE-1960-Wise ass speedster Johnny Varron (Jack Nicholson; the same year as LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS) runs a cop off the road. He and his "gang" like to play chicken. He's upset when his pal Dave (Robert Bean) goes "shallow" while “playing” and blames Dave's girlfriend Nancy (Georgiana Carter). Dave dumps her because Johnny says so but Dave has second thoughts and decides to step out on the gang. Johnny kind of kidnaps Nancy and tries to molest her but Dave catches them, freaks out and crashes his car and dies. Johnny takes the blame and surrenders to the police. His gang abandons him. "The stud's gone bad. Let's split". 

Roger Corman was the executive producer. The director Harvey Berman was a UCLA drama teacher. Much of the cast were amateurs. As for the dialogue, as Johnny's older lover says "Speak so I can understand you". There's also a re-cut version that makes the main story a flashback.
