Following on from some recent other threads, I (and hopefully others :)) would enjoy it if you could list any motorcycle based movies you know of. From sublime (On any Sunday or Worlds fastest ethnic sub continent dweller) to total warthog shit .... oh boy is that' a far longer list* .... Go for it refresh tired brains ;) Cheers Tim754
* Secretly we all have a dunger bike movie or two that we enjoy don't we..... ;D

Yep Chopper/Biker based movies could have a whole rancid cess pool subsection all to themselves. ;)
How about the first movie featuring the "Billy Jack" character, yes it was a naughty, bad person biker movie called.....??? then of course the actual "Billy Jack' movies came along..enough said :D
GOT IT .... Billy Jack is a "half-breed" American Cherokee Indian Green Beret Vietnam War veteran, hapkido master, and gunslinger. The character made his début in The Born Losers (1967), a "biker film" about a motorcycle gang terrorizing a California town; Billy Jack rises to the occasion to defeat the gang by defending a college student who has evidence against them for gang rapes.
"Then came Bronson" TV series was a must watch for a young Tim754 ;)

And if you have a Z9 in the lock-up, well it would be a pretty standard accessory to have Stone in your DVD collection.
Don't know who was doing the wheelies in that movie, but he was pretty handy though.

Wild Hogs – a bit clichéd but it gave me a few chuckles anyway.
Funny how when you check out an old movie that you thought was really scary or really good only to find they haven’t stood the test of time and they are actually quite lame.
So how does a movie that you thought was pretty bad in the day stack up now.
Little Faus and Big Halsy falls into the category of pretty bad the first time I saw it so it will be interesting to see it again to see what I think now.
Rumour has it that Drakie has secured this movie for the film night at HBBB

I seen this movie years ago called "Dirt Bike Bangers" It started out at as a desert race , all the bikes were early seventies huskies,pentons & hodakas, pretty soon after the start two or three of the bikes broke down in the middle of the desert so the riders went to a farmhouse which happened to be located conveniently nearby,when they knocked on the door who should answer but a hot scantily clad chick who invited them inside for a drink,when they got inside they discovered there were two more hot chicks, Well one thing led to another & they all ended up F@&#ing like mink (Yeah you guessed it,XXXX porn),after all the loving was done they miraculously repaired there bikes & finished the race,dunno how they placed in the race. 3/10 motorcycle content.10/10 porn ;)

I've previously posted about the above two movies on another thread. Despite being lemons they're arguably still the best movies with an MX based storyline Hollywood's pumped out.
I'm old enough to remember a TV series called 'Then Came Bronson' that was on our telly's back in '69/'70.
The storyline has Micheal Parks starring as Jim Bronson riding around America on his Harley Sportster. Evey week he'd be in another town solving another mystery or saving some young flower child from the evils of drugs. It was a surprisingly good series but was a little too out there for staid old sixties Australian tastes. I've seen a couple of episodes on DVD in recent times and it scrubs up a lot better than other stuff from the era. Bud Ekins did most of the stunt work and that tosser Charlie Sheen's dad Martin Sheen starred in the pilot as a bad guy.

errrr is their name mentioned in the title ;D .... surely the MoCo would not resort to product placement. Does this mean 'Wild Hogs' may have had an American Motorcycle maker pitching in.

And here I always thought that I had dreamed Then Came Bronson. Nobody but me could ever remember it. It was on telly in the avos, just before I had to go and feed the calves, in fact mum would be yelling at me to "stop watching that shit and go and feed the bloody calves" Jeez, I can her her now and shes been gone 10 yrs or more.
So, where can I get a copy or two???

If we are talk'n tv shows as well how could we forget good old Arthur Fonzarelli,I seem to recall an episode where the Fonz was going to do a death defying jump but i can't recall if he did it or chickened out,anyone remember? When Happy Days was current i thought he was so cool " HEYYYYY". I have recently seen some old episodes & now to me he is mega cringeworthy :-[
-

As Tim says, I'm almost certain you can get it as a boxed set. The episode I saw last year was a part of a boxed set my cousin had been given as a gift. Try Google and see what comes up.
-
Hey marc, was Jay Springsteen an extra or one of the main characters in Chips?
Bruce Penhall replaced the blonde guy late in the shows life.
C'mon Smed, there's nothing cringeworthy about the Fonz, it's just a TV show of another era. ;) ;D
I found Steve Irwin embarrasing at first, until I found out an old mate of mine knew him well and I met him myself, " Enthusiastic " is what I would call him.
I think there is an old movie called the Wild Colonial Boy, made in the 50's about Speedway in England.
Any movie set around bikes is cool by me, as long as they don't put a 2 stroke engine noise for a 4 stroke bike.
-
Smed, Arthur Fonzarelli cleared the trash cans but he crashed into Arnolds Chicken stand. The next few episodes were about his buggered knee and the Cunningham's trying to get him back onto his feet again with series of supposed incidents one of which Richie looked out the window and shouted his bike was on fire! truly funny stuff! :D
-

Hey , Slides, you're not thinking of " Once a Jolly Swagman " are you ?
It starred Dirk Bogard as Jim Fox , an up and coming speedway rider and Sid James as the Speedway Team Manager, I think the team was called the Cobras, some good early bike to bike shots and the sound track included the sound of Jim Fox's skid shoe as he walked away from the medical room where the injured Aussie was, corny, but not bad for it's day
I've got a videotape of it.
Foss
-
I knew I was wrong, was it set in Brum there Foss?
Sid James, it should've been called, Carry on round n round.
-
It was set up north somewhere , I think, although the accents on most actors was a bit posh fer Brumagem, except the Yank rider, maybe Brum, as the crowd was singing " On Ilkley Moor Bar Tat ", at one stage .
I have a feeling that the Aussie character was based loosely on Bluey Wilkinson.
Foss
-
I always understood the character was based on Ron Johnson. New Cross stadium, where it was filmed, is in London.
-
Hey Foss, there is some good footage from the movie on youtube.
Even closeup's of the Cricket Gloves they used to wear.
Interesting to hear how low revving the engines were back then and there isn't a lot of difference in lap times between now & then.
Different track surfaces ( Shale V Dirt ) makes a hell of a difference, if you were riding one of todays bikes on an old surface, you'd be lucky to make it round the first corner without bouncing off the fence.
-
Hey Slides,
I might ask old mate in Bathurst to copy the videotape to DVD, I'll send ya a copy when I get it done

When the ACU made us wear gloves , in the 60's , those cricket gloves were the first ones I had !!
and Yeah, the old long rod 5 stud JAPs were something else as far as torque went, pull ya arms out ,had one at Tralee, in that Paul Sly skids frame, all the bastard thing wanted to do was wheelstand on the hard surface, was all right in the Elstar on short circuit ,though , The 4B and 84s were a different kettle of fish, ya had to ride the 84s flat out if there was lots of drive, mind you , the 4B with 84s piston was a good motor !!

What about the "Terminator"....I'll be baacck. 8)....got ya 2 stroke sound on the 4 stroke bike there (kids XR100).

Davey, that really annoyed the heck out of me and detracted the whole deal somewhat. Same as Mad Max in the US and Canada. When I was over there I hired 'The Road Warror' aka Mad Max and the whole deal had been remixed using US voice overs. I was told they did it because Americans couldn't understand our accent :D funny, I never once had a single issue communicating in 3 trips and the months I spent there ::) to say I was a little dissappointed was an understatement as it turned the entire film to A grade crap ;)
-
Speaking of Ron Johnson, does anybody lnow where to find his daughter. She was last heard of in Brisbane doing some ice skating or something like that. I would like to find her before the Sidecar Spectacular as there is a special something there.
Also Bob Johnston, now in Sydney I believe, would like him to commentate but have no contact details.
Sorry for the thread heist.

I saw an interview with the Fonz back in the day and he said he was scared of motorcyles. They pushed him out on a Harley sportster in an early episode and he fell over so they got him a lighter Triumph. Kind of burst the bubble for me as a kid.

What about Race with the devil with Peter Fonda were they had two KX 250's on the back of a camper van that they rode around the desert before they were chased by devil worshippers. Saw it in the cinemas and found a copy years later.
Then came Bronson is available as a boxed set. Google it.
There was also a great movie with David Carridine where he was broken down under a bridge trying to fix a chopper and befriends an abused kid on a bicycle. Can't remember the name of the movie but it was a good one.
There's also The mask with Cher which was a good movie.
And as an adolescent boy who can forget the naked girl on the Honda in Vanishing point. She was the talk of the school yard the next day.

Must be early onset Alzheimer's ::).
I was at Amaroo for that sidecar scene. What was suppose to happen was the camera would pan from an MX race to an altercation on the side of the track between Ben Murphy and one of the other characters. I was one of the MX'ers in the background racing scene.
The only problem was that Ben Murphy couldn't remember or string together more then two words at a time . So we did the shot time and time again. We had a great old time and had bit of an insight into the film industry. (The stars are not as clever, smart, sophisticated or as debonaire as they would like you to think. They need a good script writer to look smart and make up, a good camera angle and multiple takes to look debonaire ;) :P).
The sidecars were props for the scene with the sidecar boys lounging around the sidecars watching the two characters punch it out. Ron was undoubtedly one of those 'lounging'.
Synopsis of Sidecar Racers
In this lively sports drama, Jeff Rayburn has no direction in his life since he competed in the Olympic games as a swimmer. The American had been simply bumming around Australia until he teamed up with biker Dave Ferguson and began sidecar racing. When not involved in racing, the two tussle for the love of the wealthy heiress Lynn Carson. While Ferguson is a nice fellow, he is notorious for taking risks that endanger the lives of his partners. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Ron Hurdis was one of the gun's around that time and I do remember the wooden acting.

mx 250/slides i was told it was going to be called the sidecars boys but they went with sidecar racers. so it may not been the oldtimers. ron had that print and another one like it framed and hanging in his back room.

Ah, that makes sense - I was soooo sure that it was called Sidecar Boys. It was probably referred to as Sidecar Boys on the set etc.
-
That's where I got it from as well, cousins Kenny & Laurie used to refer to it as Sidecar Boys.
Obviously changed for U.S. consumption.
Don't panic Graeme, we've still got our marbles, I think.

Started pulling more of my dwindling hair out again... Searching for a name or copy of a dreadful late 60s movie about a group of "American bikers" sent to Vietnam. They lob there and are presented with a fresh pack of Yamaha CT and DTs Trailies to ride ;) Was thinking it was named The Born Losers but that is the "Billy Jack' Prequel. Cheers Tim754
-
Answering my own questions again again... movie title I was looking for is just "Losers" Have found it and ohh boy is it crappy ;) but those sparkling new DT1 250s and CT1s :D Cheers.
Oh another couple of doozies.. Rick Shroeder rides the standard weird movie sounding XR in "Over the Edge' and ditto strange sounds in Chop socky movie "China O'Brien"
-
As is common with movie making the 'working title' of the movie eventually called
'Sidecar Racers' was 'Sidecar Boys'. I suspect 'Sidecar Boys' sounded allright to those in the Aussie audience but would be a bit confusing to 'non colonials'.
I remember watching the crash scene stunt work being filmed at Bathurst during my annual pillgrammige and not being to impressed with the finished movie.
cheers

Silver Dream Racer - Shit English filum with a bit of late 70's GP footage.
