Good motorcycle movies?

[Golden_Eternity]

So, when you're in the mood for a good movie with some motorcycle action, what do you go for? All I can come up with is Mission Impossible II and XXX.

On Any Sunday or Megaforce (OK, the second one realy sucks but it's good for a laugh)

Other then that, The Black Mask with Jet Li has a pretty good moto scene.

Oh hell yeah, I had totally forgotten about Megaforce... That was like my favorite movie when I was about 7.

That movie kicks major ass.. its got everything, but if your just in the mood for some hardcore 2 wheel action, may i recommend RAD .. its a BMX movie, but it still is fantastically awesome!

No Shit?


Don't for get the James bond movie, was it "tomorrow never dies"? James working that Beemer,....

Oh yeah and GumballRally or whatever it was called, that was extreme, racing 'cross the US nonstop.

There was also a Bond movie that had Roger Moore being chased on skis down a mountain by bad guys on bikes. Can't remember the title. Those were real stunt men back then, screw all these digital animation pieces of gabage they make now. When the guys in the bond movie were crashing into trees, they were really crashing into trees, they just did it on purpose.

I remember that he rode a bike in that movie, but I don't think I'd call it a bike movie...

Megaforce ... that brings back some memories. When I was about seven or eight, that was one of my favorite movies. About a year ago I saw that Megaforce was playing on the Action channel. Of course I tuned in ... and laughed my head off. I'm not sure if it was the gold jumpsuits they wore or the pastel headbands, but I turned it off. Some memories are best left as memories.

Other than "On Any Sunday" (and "On Any Sunday II"), there haven't been many 'good' bike movies. But if you just want more bike movies:

"Silver Dream Racer" (roadrace flick w/David Essex)
"Race for Glory" (roadrace flick)
"Little Fauss & Big Halsey" (bike racing movie with a very young Robt. Redford)
"Electra Glide in Blue" (Robt. Blake as a bike cop, sort of a rightwing reply to Easy Rider)
"Coogan's Bluff" (ok, it's not a bike flick, but there's a great bike chase w/Clint Eastwood through the Cloisters in NYC)

Then there's a whole buttload of "biker" flicks, like "Chrome and Hot Leather," "Wild Angels" (which has a hysterical speech by Peter Fonda), "CC Rider" (starring Joe Namath, ugh!) and many, many more.

Then there's another bunch where a main character rides a bike, like "My Own Private Idaho," "Lawrence of Arabia," "Streets of Fire," "The Road Warrior," "Magnum Force" and I'm sure tons more.

I'm still waiting for a good, non-documentary bike movie.

enjoy,

Though The Matrix Reloaded is not a bike movie, there is supposed to be an incredible chase at the end of the movie where the Trinity character rides a 748. That one segment will probably be better than Biker Boyz and Torque combined.

[Golden_Eternity]

Yeah, and they're saying that it'll revolutionize the way movies are filmed...

again...

pee wee's big adventure

It's not really exciting, but Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever has a chase scene with Agent Sever (Lucy Liu) on a Buell X1 Lightning in a sexy-ass techie-looking kevlar-reinforced leather catsuit that just screamed RIDE OR DIE chick... The rest was just that...the rest.

Anyway...she's being chased by Agent Ecks (Antonio Banderas) on a...get this...BMW Police Spec...RT1200S or something like that. Downside-no fast squiddly action...but they're really riding the bikes, and it's wet anyway...

The only thing I scoffed at is that Ecks gets into a totally :squid: accident which was total bulls**t. If you see it, you'll know what I mean.
