What is your favorite motorcycle movie and why? Remember this is YOUR personal fave. So if someone else says Biker Boyz don't gun 'em down. At least not on here.

I think mine is Beyond the Law with Charlie Sheen, Michael Madsen and my fav of the movie...Leon Rippy. It is not a GREAT movie but I like it alot. "B" movie to the core. Ya know?

Please no one say... Biker Boyz :)

ok, that's a tough one....there are so many bad ones to choose from..all the late 60's Roger Corman films, "The Leather Boys" is great if you ignore the ****-erotic overtones and just look at the bikes...."On Any Sunday" should be REQUIRED viewing....the original "Mad Max" is the ultimate UJMC movie...."Easy Rider" goes without saying....I could go on and on....

That's funny...I was just thinking about this very subject last night.

I'd have to say my personal favorite is "On Any Sunday"...of course Bruce Brown has never done a bad movie as far as I know.
Not to mention I'm a huge Steve McQueen fan.
I'm actually trying to find a copy.

Then of course there is "The Wild Ones" & "Easyrider".

I'm as big a "B" movie fan as the next guy....but I really don't like most "biker" movies.
"Werewolves on Wheels" is almost unwatchable.

I do own a copy of "Its a Revolution Mother" & its really not what I expected.

I'm hoping the Sinners movie will be a new favorite.

Holy shit...I've never used so many quotation marks in one post....

:D

When I was about seven years old I bought a movie at a garage sale for like 50 cents. It was the "Wild Angels" with Peter Fonda. Corn-ball fucking movie but I dug the shit out if it and have ever sense.

Oh and I FUCKING LOVE Mad Max. My wife cant stand it, but I watch it every chance I get.

"Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man" is for ****:D !

I guess my back up is Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. Not a huge number of bikes in the film but I dig his scoot. Jeez I love those B movies.

I love Mad Max, I always envision myself as the Toecutter.
During the duldrums of February, and I haven't ridden in a long time, I put on Easy Rider. It isn't my second favorite, but something about the desert riding part gets me through 'til March.

Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man is second favorite simply for the opening 10 minutes.

Stone Cold, as cheesy as it is, is cool for the compound party and the funeral pyre.

What Tony Bones said.

My favorites at the moment:

'Wild Angels'
'Hells Angels on Wheels' (Jack Nicholson is in it)
'Hells Angels '69''


'Angel Unchained' has a pretty cool Unit Triumph in it...not to mention that saucy Tyne Daly, pre-"Cagney & Lacey". :)

Undertaker and His Pals - Cool soundtrack, cool plot, and low budget.

I've never actually seen that many biker movies, but I like The Loveless by far.

It's even out on DVD now.

well the Sinners movie is a documentary, right? so that's a different genre.


we mean movies with stories i guess. i really like the wild one, but i like britt bikes so maybe i'm partial. i have not seen on any sunday. is it too hard to find on dvd? or is it well known?

i love old movies but it seems like alot of old good movies are not on dvd. like the original Walking Tall movie.

Little Fauss and Big Halsy

1970

Little Fauss: I was going faster than I ever went in my whole life, then I fell off.

PLOT:
The misadventures of two bum motorcycle racers.

Halsy Knox (Robert Redford) and Little Fauss (Michael J. Pollard) collide during a race and Little breaks his leg. The unlikely pair team up and head for California to race. Halsy's using Little's race card, since his has been revoked and Little can't race with a broken leg. They meet a Naked Girl (Lauren Hutton) escaping from a biker gang and adopt her. She is the reason the team breaks up.

Was that one called Born Losers?[/QUOTE]

no , there was an actual movie in early 70's called walking tall. just like the re-make. it's based on a true story about a small town corrupted by sheriff or something, and the victim gets beaten real bad, then takes revenge.

i don't know what born losers is, that an old movie too?
