This first scene is the opening sequence, and a biker fixing and cleaning his bike is shot in close-up to the song 'Wind Up Doll' by Peggy March.
This next sequence has an interesting story. When Kenneth Anger was editing 'Scorpio Rising', an educational film for a Lutheran sunday school was delivered to him by accident. Amused by the kitschiness of the film, he decided to incorporate the footage into his own film. You can see here how the film draws parallels between Scorpio and Jesus, heralding the biker culture as a re-run of cultures and followings of the past. It is just the same, but in a different time, and with a different reason.
I think that this scene is particularly effective and I am affected personally by the associations created by the sequence. I think that similar effects could be used in my group's work.
