TT Closer to the Edge is mega and out at the end of the month. Faster is decent. The docor, the Texas tornado and the Kentuky Kid is also good. Not seen Fastest although that looks good and should be out soon. ____________________ My Flickr |

Byker Boys & Torque are two you HAVE to watch for shear 'ghool' factor. You ought to KNOW that they are crap, low budget, 'theme' movies from the very beginning, and your expectations ought to be low... if so they can be enjoyable. Whole point of 'fiction' is the suspension of disbelief... you have to have a LOT of suspension for these two, but.... can be a 'laugh' if you are in the right mood.... preferably drunk.
Better, Nicholas Cage Ghost Rider... there is no 'belief' to suspend here... it is.... BIZARE.. I just cant really describe it. A stunt rider is possessed by an ancient curse and has to battle the devil, on a bike that turns to fire, meanwhile he is immortal, or something... its sort of part horror, part action, part fantacy, and OUGHT to be utterly rubbish.... only thing that made me look twice was it starred Nick-Cage which suggested it MIGHT have something more about it... or that they paid him a LOT of money.... it had something more about it... I'm just not entiurely sure what! Its a must watch.
Twenty years ahead of it, far easier to follow, and a complet egaff, 'I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle' with Niel Morrisey... its a comic strip esq 'romp' round Brum, with a Norton Comando that got bit by a vampire.... utterly rediculouse, but meant to be, and very watchable as a result.
Wild Hogs Sanitised Holywood hash, with John Travolta and Ray Liota, and the chap from ????? Its a comic romp Holywood style, and ought to be pretty 'flat', BUT there's just 'enough' extra to it to make it more 'biker' than the poster suggests. Worth watching.
Wild One Marlon Brando, THE defining movie of the Hells-Angels B-Movie era, and defining the genre, it IS to be utterly honest complete CRAP. There is almost NO story.... no, sorry, not almost... there ISN'T a story. It was loosely based on the Holister Riots, and the 1%'s taking over small tumbleweed town, and raising merry hell, from which the 'out-law' biker gangs and thier legend grew. Its heavy on atmosphere and emotion, and has some kind of moralistic message... it really doesn't 'stand' the test of time as a bit of entertainment, witout the lore and legend surrounding it, and the desire to watch to 'understand'...
Stone Australian Easy Rider, with balls. It was a view of alternative life-style and sub-culture; it explored 'the code', and is possibly one of the most 'honest' biker movies made, though low rent, very ameteur in places and often contrived... dont expect it to be 'light' entertainment; its one you possibly have to watch a few times to 'get', and probably in the company of other bikers, preferably aided with plenty of recreational pharmesuticals.
Easy Rider, see Wild-One. Its very similar. Brilliant cinamatography, but utterly lacking in story, they DID make it up as they went along, and they DID over indulge and labour a few segments, like the hippy commune and the Acid Trip in New-Orleans... it is NOT the 'masterpiece' its reputation has suggested; it is 'good' but like Stone & wild, you need to 'apreciate' it, its not entertainment, as Wild Hogs, Torque or Byker-Boys can be.
Silver-Dream Racer Singer David Essex & Hollywood royalty Bo Bridges; 500GP Track Rivals. Bridges representing the Mimola/Lawson 'American' invasion of the European 'Scene' in the late 70's early 80's, very loudly, and with lots of money; Essex, representing the die hard, low rent British 'Privateer' struggling to win against the odds; takes a home built 'special' designed and built by his aeronatical enginner, brother, with 'ground breaking' carbon fibre frame, to win the prestigeouse British GP at Silverstone, in a love triangle sub-plot. It sounds clice'd and utterly bizarre and everything you could level against Byker-boys & Torque is in there, but withouit SO much Holywood corn.... Bridges charecter, seems overacted, but is very very good depiction of the too many teeth American 'Glamour--Boys' of the day, and treads a fine line making unbleiveably self charactured 'real' figures, 'believable'. It IS entertaining, and as entertainment, works. As a biker movie, ACTUALLY, the fact behind the movie is stranger than the fiction, and whil Carbon Fibre NOW is common as muck, in those days, aluminium rear-sets were 'trick' bits, and cast magnesium wheels 'exotic'. Carbon Fibre COULD have 'techtonite', a substance created in the minds of the creators and pure fantacy; in fact it was a reality, and while the idea it was SO advanced NASA might only be experimenting with it in the lab, here in the UK we were pioneering teh stuff in garden sheds and back-street workshops.
Film possibly means more to me, becouse I was LIVING it for real, when it was released; a paddock 'groupie', getting into Mallory or Silverstone, Long-Marston Raceway, Cadwell, or even PRe GP status Donnington, in the back of whoever's transit had been borrowed to car who ever elces bike, and earning the entry as a gopher... I KNEW the people in the movie....
BUT.... Worlds Fastest Indian Burt Munroe, takes a thirty year old Indian scout, tuned in his garden shed, and fitted with streamliner bodywork, in New-Zealand, to world record beating status at Bonnaville.... the old shedologist taking on the world and wining.... and its a TRUE story... sort of validates what SDR was about.... with more validation coming from John Brittain, another bludy colonial Kiwi, building the real deal, carbon-bibre flier in his garage and stormig Daytona on it.... WFI, HAS to be a must watch.
On any Sunday Or the Steve McQueen Fan Club, AKA the American Motorcycle Association, sponsored 'anti-dote' to Easy-Rider, a Docu-Drama released on the heels of Easy, to portray the 'respectable' side of biking and the array of legitimate leisure riding 'real' motorcyclists engaged in 'on any Sunday'... worth noting it WAS backed by the AMA, and strategically released as cointerpoint to the hells-angels B-Movies; and they went to Steveie was the 'face' of all the AMA wanted to promote, so Bud Elkin & co, filmed what they knew, and who they knew.... consequently it is a bit Boys Own, and rather budy-budy.... but its a very watcheable bit of Documentary, that does work as entertainment and IS pure biker....
So, a few top be getting on with; but depends whether you want to be entertained, find some 'meaning' or just see bikes.
If you just want to see bikes going fast, then there are hundreds of Race Reviews for all biking disciplins; Theres also lots of tutorial vids like Twist of teh Wrist, Keith Cody's CSBS, master classes, and all down to 'how to ride a motorbike' for beginners.
Offered my reccomends; but go google, torrent and watch. ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!
