Why can't they make a good motorcycle movie?

The Wild One,Easy Rider and On Any Sunday are the only bike movies of any consequence - because they changed what people thought about motorcycles.We didn't get The Wild One in NZ until the late 70s I think,it was banned,so it's effect on us was lost,but indirectly it was responsable for the ''bikie'' culture,or bike gangs that rose in the late 60s.Easy Rider hit the spot with young people (I was 16 when it was first shown in NZ,I was there with a fake licence)Choppers became cool and we all had to have one,I did.On Any Sunday showed us dirt bikes,trail bikes were only just on the floor,we went out and bought them and hit the dirt.Those films changed our lives - I don't think any bike films after have had that impact.

Has anyone seen Electra glide in Blue ??

Has anyone seen Electra glide in Blue ??

Yeah. It's OK. A bit unfocussed in terms of plot etc. All the bikes in it are the great big overfaired cruiser-types that the yanks love, if memory serves.

My friends younguns loved torque etc. But as they pointed out, it was for the 'bling' not the reality.

They were interested in what mods can be done to the bike and all that stuff, not in actual experience of riding them or a decent plot in the movie - so long as it had big bangs and chases etc.

Modding rice bikes as a craze hasnt hit NZ yet. Here most people just grasp the concept of a new zorst and jetting, and forget about what the bike actually looks like.

I mean have you seen one of these here



Let alone a full riced out R1 or something like this



ok there might be a few, but its not a craze as such.

Did you ever see 'Little Faus big Halsy' from the early 70's. As I recall it was about a couple of desert racers on a green DT1 who move on to road racing - starred Rob Redford and Michael J Pollard.

Yep that one was my vintage.

supermotohard wasn't too bad, oops lol

[Stinger]

I just watched Urban street bike warriors. Those guys have got some guts... they're all going to end up killing themselves but they've definately got some guts. It's basically like Jackass on motorbikes.

3 good bike clips on there (and they are very small and short)

- Motorcycle Wheelie
- Motorcycle Race Start
- Ninja and Tractor

Pumping Gas is not bad too.

And someone unsuccessfully trys to imitate Ghost Rider in Road Rash

Ok, this is TV, but I reckon they should do a remake of "Streethawk" It seemed pretty cool back in the days..

I thought Streethawk was cool too when I was a kid. But having seen an episode recently, I gotta say, damn that show suck bullocks. So so very very cheesey. As bad if not worse than Knight Rider.

Damn I was easily impressed as a kid, not to mention watched way too much tv.

[Motoracer]

Yea, true. Though I still love the 80s techno back ground music for Street hawk!

Music from the 80s is kewl! :cool2:

[Storm]

Preach it brother, preach the gospel of 80's music

[Indiana_Jones]

Though there may not be many good bike films, there's plenty pf cool chases like the Great escape and Indiana Jones and the last crusade
