"Biker" movie, Hellride. Avoid at all costs.

Watched this horrible flick a few days ago. Here is my review, as posted on Amazon:

"I am a biker so this movie looked attractive to me, action, bikes, chicks and all that... Silly me, I was fooled.
Too bad they make you give one star. This film sure doesn't deserve it. The only, and I mean only mildly entertaining features where Michael Madsen riding the bike with the ape hanger handlebars. He looked incredibly stupid and out of place, you would have thought the director made him use that bike, just to make him look like a moron. Well, success! The other thing that helped the movie were good looking chicks. Yes, they had some nice boobs on show, but you you are a sad person if you need this movie to see boobs. Finally the artwork with respect to the gang regalia was pretty cool. Now now... I have been pretty nice. Sorry, but the rest is pure and utter vomit inducing garbage of the highest caliber. The acting was crap and the script was rubbish. Ok, my advice is this, don't touch this film with a ten foot pole, unless seeing Madsen make a jackass of himself turns you on."

That makes me want to go out and get it just for the laughs. There are heaps like that out there; 'Wild Angels', 'Chrome and Hot Leather' and 'The Glory Stompers' to name a few. It's gotta be tongue in cheek, surely? I doubt any of the crew were anywhere near serious.

A good biker movie? Not sure, but I think the best appearance on a bike of any sort was Rocky the Rooster in 'Chicken Run'. It's more of a love story that one but Rocky? He's cool.

For a good biker movie, try Freebird.

Not really a biker movie, but its got lots of bikes in if that makes sense. Watch the movie and you will understand.

Just checked out the trailer on You Tube. This also looks like a bit of a crackup. Ah, the things to watch on wet Sunday arvo's.

I have heard nothing but good things about Faster a motogp doco. Not really a movie but if it is as good as what people tell me then who cares!

It will become a cult movie, just you wait and see!
I have no interest in seeing it now BTW.

I saw it a few nights ago. Thought it would be a good-un - with Michael Madsen in it it was bound to be.

How wrong was I.

A couple of cool bikes in it though.

You might enjoy it, but only after a few beers.

Neil Morrisey from Men Behaving Badly, and his blood lusting killer 74 Norton 850 Commando

I spent my time watching it, halfway between screaming with laughter

and howling with tears, you really need to see it to believe it, or not!!

You've just sold at least a dozen tickets to KBer's with that statement alone!

I spied it at my local dairy a week a go - I fingured it look cool, now I'm torn........still got bikes in it..........sounds bad.....but there are bikes in it......

i personally though hell ride wasn't to bad, seen many worse. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411475/

Some nice old indians & harley's thru out the movie.

Far better than the freebird move that someone else mentioned earlyer.
