Description

Robert Blake "displays a superabundance of magnetism and machismo" (Cue) as a good cop on the ultimate bad bike in this "powerful" (Boxoffice) film featuring "striking action sequences"(Leonard Maltin) and a "bravura rock score" (Los Angeles Times). Set against the breathtaking visuals of Monument Valley, this mesmerizing film is your ticket to open-road excitement!The only thing good-hearted motorcycle cop John Wintergreen (Blake) wants is to become a detectiveto wear a big Stetson, smoke fancy cigars and be paid to think. So when he stumbles upon a dead body, he takes on the case and proves his stuff! But as soon as he's promoted, the corruption he must tolerate makes the Stetson not fit so well and the cigars not taste so good. Forced to confront his own disillusionment, Wintergreen heads out on his bike, the Electra Glide, where he makes another shocking discovery - one that could cost him his life!

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great old time cop movie.......2007-03-30

This is one of my husbands favorites. And not to let him know, I love it too. You have to watch it to the end, paying special attention to the ending to understand it all, but a great film.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best!.......2007-03-23

This one of many many very good u.s. movies in the 70ties. Very well photografed and acted. A classic!

3 out of 5 stars But, I liked it.......2006-02-17

All in all it's not a great movie. I found the plot somewhat convoluted. The acting is awful at times. Most of the main characters are people I would not associate with but John Wintergreen (a young Robert Blake) was all right. He had an overdeveloped sense of fairness, right and wrong that would eventually do him in. The movie has a quirky personality. At times it's intentionally funny but some of the great scenes are when it's unintentionally funny. I liked the background music. More than a few times it was perfectly suited as background for the associated scene. The chase scenes were well done, at times overdone. The raw, seedy side of the Southwest was the perfect backdrop for this movie. I could almost smell the stale cigarette smoke, beer and urine. The scenery was at times Kodak perfect. Twenty-five years ago I really liked the last song - the one that plays over the credits. Today, I find it preachy and very 60's. I'm surprised the movie has not achieved cult status.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful 70s Nostalgia With A Message.......2005-11-29

In this overly-ironic age, no one would consider producing such an earnest and moral movie. This was not the case in the early 70s and this film, a directorial debut, shows a little slice of life in 1973 Arizona. The photography is wonderful, making one ache for the wide open spaces of the desert. All of the performances are acceptable and some are most memorable, including those of Robert Blake as the central character and Mitchell Ryan as a bigoted, heartless and useless detective. Take off your 21st century spectacles and enjoy.

2 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2005-10-03

I'd read good stuff about this film, and it just wasn't very good. There was way too much overacting, and the main character was a friggin' dork. Why am I supposed to root for some highway patrol cop with a Napoleon complex? The ending was the only slightly satisfying aspect of it, and even then the blood looked fake. It was kinda funny seeing Peter Cetera as a hippie, though. For that I give it an extra star.
