Oh my god. .......2007-04-03

Based on the Netflix description, I assumed this would be a Leslie Nielsen slapstick comedy. It wasn't. Man, the 70s were a complete waste, weren't they?

They should cut this film up and splice the pieces together with the pieces of "My Dinner with Andre". It'd improve both of them, and frankly, I can't think of any other reason for either film to exist.

Evel became the motorcycle John Wayne.......2006-07-02

I have read most of the reviews on this movie, and agree with many, as I have to respect people's point of view. However, I love this movie. When it first came out I was in (or almost in) high school, and was also a movie lover (still am).

This film hearkens back to the "good ole days" of film, where the hero saves the day. Evel is like a modern day John Wayne who rides his cycle (instead of a horse) through places in order to save the day.

Okay...do not expect Gone with the Wind, but if you want some action and some good old fashion fun, with a hero you can cheer for...this is the movie! Viva Knieval!

...But Only If You Love Bad Movies.......2005-06-04

In the opening scene, Evel, playing himself in a fictional adventure, distributes toys--Evel Knievel action figures!--to orphans in the middle of the night...inspiring one handicapped child to throw away his crutches and walk. I swear I'm not making that up. Santa? Jesus? You just got SERVED!

In this grand testament to One Man's Ego, a cast already dripping with overripe hams (Including Leslie Nielsen as a drug lord! And Marjoe Gortner as a coke fiend!) finds itself overwhelmed by a clown on a bike as he reunites families, teaches a "feminist" to love, and defeats drug smugglers.

And you haven't lived until you've experienced the theme song...

OK - If you're looking for Easy Rider or some kind of epic.. this isn't it. But if you want a good party movie if you have the kind of friends that watch(ed) MST3K then this is a gold mine! Watch as Evel gets tough with a slim ball promoter! Help alcoholic Gene Kelly regain the love of his 9 year old son! Tackle Drug Lord Leslie Nielsen in a Motocycle Vs. Porsche chase! See Evel womanize his way with a photographer sent out to shoot his deadly last jump! Hear Evel equate the horror of illeagal drugs to Nitro in cars! Friends of orphans and Nuns alike, Evel does it all!

Shame that the DVD cover was photoshoped... the original poster ( and VHS box) showed Evel launching into the air from a ramp that was a giant hand gun.
