The Club and Sons of Anarchy
If you remember the TV show, Sons of Anarchy, that was written by Kurt Sutter, then we will tell you it was based on the operations of the Hells Angels club. The film was portrayed as a real-life scenario as the events in the film linked to the daily runnings and encounters of the Hells Angels club.
Interestingly, many the Hells Angels members were also a part of the film, such as Rusty Coones, David Labrava, Sonny Barger, and Chuck Zito. Labrava was a technical advisor for Sutter as they wanted to present a realistic image of what the club goes through. The role of “Happy” was also played by Labrava throughout the entire airing of the show.

The Hells Angels And Sonny Barger
Sonny Barger is a figure that the Hells Angels look up to as the founding member of the Oakland charter. Yes, each charter has its president and is governed by its laws, but Barger is a foundation and key member who is above them all.
Barger is currently over 75 years old and is still very much active in riding. To date, he holds the longest membership in the club and, for the most part, has tried his best to stay out of trouble. He had served four years in prison in 1988 when he tried to set a rival gang’s clubhouse on fire. Since then, he has lived a clean life free of issues and drama, and because of his character, he has also appeared in lots of tv shows and films and has also written a few books that detail his life and life in the club.
