Bike movies?

[Gubb]

After reading the thread about which is shitter, Torque or Biker Boyz (Biker Boyz seems to have won that one), and my love of good car movies (The original 'Gone in 60 seconds' being my favourite [a 60 minute chase scene featuring a GT350? Yes please]) I started wondering about Biker movies.

I don't know of that many, apart from the two mentioned above, and Easy Rider, i'm all out. Any suggestions as to essential viewing?

[RDJ]

(George A. Romero's) Knightriders is a classic.

Girl On a Motorcycle - mmmm eye candy.

ElectraGlide In Blue - yay the 70s.

Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man - yep, despite the brand names.

Honorable Mentions for bit parts: Vanishing Point, Gumball Rally.

[rudolph]

Has any one seen HarleyDavidson And the Mobro man? or Streets of fire?

[RDJ]

Seen both.

Streets of Fire is great, terrific soundtrack as well - at least 3 stand-out tracks.

H-D and the M-M is good enough, killer intro and theme song, slightly lame plot but hey, who really cares in this type of movie.

[Gubb]

:lol:
Combining the keywords 'motorcycle', 'female nudity', 'violence', 'death', and 'drugs' at IMDb.com yields 4 matches.

Have a play. (http://www.imdb.com/keyword/motorcycle/)

Much fun.

Bestest motorcyclist movie ever...Restless natives.

My cousin and I re-enacted a couple of scenes care of a sock over the rear number plate of a Genesis 1000........'cept I didn't know at the time until he said "keep the bike running while I fill it up". Stupid moi

There's a motorcycle in both Terminator 2 and Terminator 3 - can't remember about the 1st one though.

If you like anime - Akira is another title with a bike presence, and an awesome movie to boot.

Edit: I almost forgot - TopGun is about bikes as well!!! And thus I suppose Hot Shots would have had a motorcycle, or at least a scooter, in it as well. :niceone:

Funnily enough, I watched Hot Shots! last week. Epic.

Wasn't so much thinking of movies with bike parts in them, there's plenty of those, but more about the entire culture.

Cars have so many, Vanishing Point, Gone in 60 Seconds, Bullit, *gulp* The Fast and the Furious.

Will definately have to look up some of the suggested ones though.

[Mikkel]

How about Renegade - the TV series?

[Gubb]

OMG.

Does anyone remember the series 'Viper' It was pretty much Knightrider with a Viper, it was awesome, at least I remember it was awesome.

[barty5]

Why is it that when they do put a bike in a movie half the time theyget the sound track wrong. Look at terminator 2 kid (John conner ) on a XR100 but no sound track is a 2 stroke.

[flyingcrocodile46]

Easy Rider

Every which way but loose

Any which way you can

[Ryan432]

Why is it that when they do put a bike in a movie half the time theyget the sound track wrong?

I have noticed that and it pisses the hell out of me!! Hardley any movies even try to get the sound right, you's think there would be someone on the whole sound crew who knows just a little bit about bikes?? lol

Definitley have to put in another mention of on any sunday (I believe there are some sequels to it aswell?) It is a top hole movie! :rockon:

[RentaTriumph]

Hells Angels 69
Easy Rider
Hells Angels on Wheels
Hells Angels Forever

Yeah boy 1974 Gone in 60 seconds. If that rocks your socks, another good HB Hilicki movie is junkman.

MUST watch!

Oh yeah, not a movie but does anyone remember automan? Loved that bike.
