Movies That Feature Motorcycle Riders

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.
