There are movies made in Hollywood that makes everyone want to go out
and purchase a motorcycle. There are even characters played within the
films or shows that make riding a motorcycle cool. Those characters and
movies defined how a rider should ride a motorcycle. Take a look at the
featured movies and see if you can remember watching the movie and
recall your reactions during the scenes.
The first movie that
comes to mind is, "The Principal," a story of triumph. This movie is
more on the drama side, in which, the principal Rick Latimer is played
by actor James Belushi. Belushi is trying to bring order and structure
to a struggling school while fighting the criminals within. The last
scene of the movie shows the principal fighting the schools number one
criminal, who tried to rape one of the teachers, but is caught by the
police and taken into custody. At the end of the fight scene the
principal screams "No More!" As Principal Rick is leaving on his
motorcycle someone asks him, who do you think you are? His response,
"I'm the Principal!"
Then there's the movie "Ghost Rider!" This
movie features Nicholas Cage as Johnny Blaze. This movie is a story of
adventure and life on the wild side. It almost reminds you of the movie
"Evel Knievel," but it is more evil. Johnny Blaze played by actor
Nicholas Cage sells his soul to the devil to save his father from dying.
What he didn't know was that he would sign a life-long contract with
his blood turning him into a ghost rider.
Who can forget the movie
"Batman: The Dark Knight!" This was one of the few times we saw batman
not driving his famous bat-mobile. Instead, he trades it in for his
bat-motorcycle. Although, many will remember this film as being the last
for actor Heath Ledger, the action packed thriller was one for the
ages. The scene starts when batman is trapped in an accident and looks
like his bat-mobile is damaged beyond repair. Out the rubble his
bat-mobile turns into a bat-motorcycle. Then batman goes on to pursue
the infamous joker riding over cars, buildings and fighting the bad guys
along the way.
Finally, there's the movie that defined motorcycle
riding, "Evil Knievel!" This classic film is about the life of Robert
Craig Knievel, who was an American stunt devil and entertainer, giving
audiences of all ages something to remember. Knievel had several up and
downs in his riding entertainment career. One of the most memorable
jumps attempted was in Las Vegas at the Caesars Palace Hotel. He was
scheduled to jump the hotel's famous fountain, which was filmed for the
American Broadcasting Company, but the jump failed. Knievel was severely
injured and in a coma for 29 days. Now, I wonder what kind of insurance
he must have had to cover such death-defying acts.
