The Bike Riders movie. The story of the outlaws MC How was it? Hell Angels VS Bandidos: George Christie 👉ruclips.net/video/Rm6k4PqANsA/видео.html&ab_channel=DemonsRow
I was in the bucket with the outlaws and the angels when they all got reco and I was on range with both at different times and a guy had a tattoo on his stomach that said adios angels die in outlaw soil I always thought that was a great tattoo those outlaws all left London the rest patched over I was always also in with the banditos when Wiener ordered the hit on his people it was the wild West down here in the early 2000s
Can't wait to see it. My uncle was PDR before the patch over. I kinda always thought that Jax Teller was a bit put on and the SOA series a little over the top.

Probably the best Hollywood biker movie I've seen. The death of Johnny was the death of brotherhood. He got in the way of business. It's cold, it's paranoid, it's a terrible ending but it is what it is. *Listen to the last part of the interview with Benny's girlfriend* "They see a different patch and they want to start killing each other; they join clubs because they hate rules and laws, then they have to live by club rules and laws." The smart ones get out and they don't get sucked in, that'd be independent-minded Benny. He saw where it was going. Got out of town and never rode again. You can't count how many guys did that in the 1970s when it got crazy. The pipeline of chemicals from The Satan's Choice, to the Outlaws and the Hells Angels opened up a whole mess of violence. In real life the biker world is not a fairy tale, and I appreciate the director not ending it like it was.
Greatly put my only issue with this movie was it wasn't longer we need more biker clubs/gang movies to really educate audiences of its history I was not surpized how johhnt passed because they younger men that get Invovled in gangs are more violent an less about honor an code however tom hardys preformince was great one of my fav actors
The problem with this movie is the time restriction of what a movie is. 2-3hrs for a decade or even 6-8yrs is not enough. Picture this was a mini-series like band of brothers. It really shows the demand of this kind of genre.
I mean Dune already showed that you can make that happen in parts Like The Biker Riders part 1 put more things into it, then see how people liked it then put part 2 out I think that's what movies need now is instead of trying to put everything in a 2-3 hour long film they should just tell a story in parts if its going to be that long and that deep and detailed then I would say they should have done that, Idk I liked it either way.
The ending was actually perfect. He left this kind of lifestyle and chose his love; would he have taken the others dudes life he would have been never able to get out and would have ended up like Jax Teller basically. That's the point. Tom Hardy's Character could have also simple left at some points in the movie, or simply take a step back. Yet he didn't. The movies core theme is how MC's changed over time at least the 1%ers. And that it wasn't anymore about being free. About being a place for people nobody wanted somewhere else. I actually like it that the movie has less "action" as e.g. SOA.
Hey Sose, I think it's based off of an actual interview by the woman that she is portraying. She studied the tapes to speak just like her. Director said that he couldn't tell the difference. Thanks for the review btw
The treatment of Benny just giving everything up and never touching a motorcycle again was pretty spot on for a lot of married men in this world. In that one scene you see her say that Benny doesn’t miss it. In the next shot, you see him look away; you see something wash over him. You know what it is. Contrast that with her satisfaction. Pretty good movie. I think they honored the spirit of things without being disrespectful. The changes in the MC really paralled the changes in our culture. Interesting movie. Beautifully shot.
I thought they'd paint 1% clubs in a worse light. Does a great job at pointing out that the surge of new members with seemingly no prospect period or hang around period were the cause for criminal activity. I mean when anyone can join your crew then not listen and bring their friends, start chapters everywhere etc. When you don't know all your guys individually you don't know who they are. I think the movie made it very clear things got out of hand in that aspect. And that's why clubs make you hangaround and get to know you. I enjoyed it. I think a few parts were for sure fictional and wouldn't of happened even back then
Fair review. I really liked the low key, more realistic look too. I hated the ending w Tom getting shot and Benny not rising to the occasion to break that youngster off and take over as pres just like Tom’s wish was. That would’ve been the ending. They could’ve still portrayed the timeframe of the more gang shit coming into it too but showing the separation between the Vandals and that direction as they were at that crossroad. Benny not even riding anymore at the end in Florida pissed me off. You go from telling rivals they’d have to kill him for his cut to then dropping all of it. No way.
He knew everything was changing and wanted out. Was looking for someone,preferably Benny, to take over and keep the club regulated. By that time it was too big and out of control for the old timers. Everything changed after Vietnam. With Johnny it was a brotherhood men's club. After Johnny it become a honorless crime gang
@@MrSwitchblade327 im well aware of all that. So was Johnny. He told that kid off bc he saw who that kid was, and even threw him a beating. Then the kid comes back a full member from another chapter and challenges a president who already kicked his ass once. Johnny wasnt the smartest guy, but even a blind man could see that kid had no intentions of a fair fight. He was clearly after power, not honor.
@@michaellarocca4879I have an idea on that, only because I seen the movie yesterday and this scene really stuck w me. It was right after Johnny shot cockroach in the leg, Benny questions him on what the tf that was. This is what fucked me up, Johnny goes “that was handling it” and gets all aware about how ruthless the new members are. He then showed what I saw as fear, the first and only time I saw the dude fear anything. He then mentions how the new guys don’t listen and that he’s losing grip on the club. I think Johnny understood the way in which he could remain in control, and “evolve” with the direction the club was going in. He’d have to let go of his morals and become cold and ruthless. No more brotherhood, no more laid back times. With Benny then leaving, Johnny’s convictions got all fucked up and he faltered. Bro got stuck between his love for riding, and what it’ll now take for him to continue doing so. I’m sure Benny let riding go for the same reason, because he also understood what it’d now take to continue. It’s a very honest ending “that I liked”. Johnny sort of accepted his reality and chose to die with himself still intact. You could probably make an argument that he was already in the process of losing himself before he let himself die
@@trevorwg4878 I think Benny gave up riding and left for Florida because it wasn't really about riding for him, it was about the brotherhood. The brotherhood was gone, so he had no reason to stay. Benny may or may not have missed riding bikes, but he did miss his friends.
I was an original of a 1 chapter club years ago, 24 years later I'm a retired member. When it was small we had a blast with an emphasis on having a good time. Within a few years it expanded all over America and a couple chapters in Europe. It became very political with unnecessary drama. Still a great club but the more people the more problems. I haven't seen this movie yet. Thanks for your perspectives on being a biker. Your interview with George Christie was a home run.
@@DemonsRow You should interview someone from the Comanchero MC and from the Rebels MC. Talk about their histories overseas and in North America. Do some videos on the Satudarah MC.
I'd say if you want to join a club for the brotherhood, stick to small. Once things get too big, it becomes an industry that requires a source of revenue. That revenue will likely be illegal and start to attract even worse, greedier people. And that's when shit really hits the fan and brotherhood won't be a priority other than for revenge. It feels so good to do something you love with people you care about and know you have nothing hanging over your head. Also, write your own movie. I can help you find a starting point, help you find a flow, and help you edit when you're done. Be the Martin Scorsese for your people and create a better vision.
I watched this last night, I give it a 7 out of 10 only because of the ending. It was a quiet way to end it. Revenge would have been nicer, but it was a classier way to end it. The idea of living in Wild Bunch for the rest of your life doesn't work with couples, unless you're already distant like the President of the club to his wife in the movie. (Wife of a truck driver is trained to be alone having her husband gone for days, weeks months at a time). Revenge would not have worked with the movie because the Vandals slowly degraded into too many chapters and unknown members. Revenge would have ended in more revenge. It would have placed the members of the original club on the same level as the new members who were more like selfish criminals, than hooligans. That's where the knives of fists idea is used to separate the two different ideas of MC culture. The levels of crime and violence escalate with the new members. While the original Vandals do this thing because it is fun, their fights end with drinking, not death. The new members nearly beat the life out of one of their own, and leave them for dead after they attack them like a coward. (Outnumbering, ambushing, and beating a drunk guy nearly to death who is taking a p*ss isn't exactly heroic or honorable). Then the hub cap thief who makes it up the ladder takes the cowards route by bringing a gun to a knife fight. The whole movie is full of instances that show the stark differences between the G.I. Generation and the Silent Generation.
i would rate that movie 8+ to 10 'cause it is an honest description, based on a book written by an enquiry journalist who lived quite a bit long time with these dudes! The acting is superb too (Tom Hardy was the main reason i went to see that movie) and it's a great description of the 1% biker world of the mid-sixties... Really, i didn't regret a cent viewing it!
The movie was based on what really happened. These guys werent gangsters or what you would think of when it comes to a Modern 1% club. The changing of the Presidents ,literally changed how clubs of that era operated. They shifted to criminal enterprises amd Benny wanted nothing to do with it.
I always respect your perspective. You said it started off wrong. You have to remember that club started almost 60yrs ago in the movie. And it wasn’t a true 1% club at that time. I just turned 50. And looking back at how many things are completely different. To further prove my point, the journalist was embedded with them and wrote the book. So even though they had 1% patches on, they weren’t a 1% club in the definition we use now. It’s no different than having the media embedded with us at the start of 9/11. Now we don’t allow them. And lastly, I think most people might have missed the subtle hint at the very end. When Kathy looks out the window at Benny, and ahead of says everything is better now, Benny has a sideways smile. I personally believe that they both know that Benny deleted the kid that took out Johnny. But, I will say this. When they showed up for the fight, I told my wife it’s going sideways. If someone challenged me like that, they wouldn’t have been able to gun the weapon. I’d have a very accurate friend watching over me.
I watched the film three times. I really liked the movie. I was pleasantly surprised by Austin. And the skill of Tom and Jodie was expected. Yes, it was good!!!👍👍👍
you need to look up danny lyon and the book this movie is based on. the outlaws back then actually let him into the lifestyle and even earn a full patch so that he could photograph and interview them. and the movie tells a story by piecing together those interviews so a lot of the events actually happened including that ending you didnt like
Anyway right now I'm watching Hell's Angels '69 and a few days ago I saw Hells Angels Forever Great films/documentaries Ever got the chance to meet Big Vinnie or any of them guys ?
If Benny would've got revenge it wouldn't be realistic because the whole club was already changed. He'd already have been lucky not having a contract out on him for being Johnnys right hand. He saw it coming as well as johnny did that's why he left. Came back after and still moved. That moment after wounding Cockroach just so he could get out alive and their conversation in the car was pivotal and telling. Did Benny let Johnny down? Yeah in a way but by that time both knew the club had become something darker and more ungovernable than either wanted to be part of. The lack of honor in the last challenge scene said it all. Honor and brotherhood died with Johnny.
Sose, I don't where to start. You and JD working together is based. My favorite biker movie is Quadrophenia. Rockers, and Mods. Guys making their scooters, and motorcycles look cool, and go faster. There is a new rebellion brewing. Total grey area. Crazy E-Bikes with dual motors, and dual crank sets, Drift Karts, Groms, electric Groms, guys wiring EMTB's to go over 100MPH. If you are a Gearhead this an exciting time to be alive. I will check out the movie. Respect for you "Ape Hangers" and old school "Car Guys" I am ecstatic with enthusiasm. Love. Pure Love.
I think The Bikeriders is more similar to A Bronx Tale than it is to Goodfellas given how the focus is on the family and romatic aspect of being in an MC. Also, the journalist part - Danny Lyon was a former 1%er himself, rode with the Outlaws for some time before retiring his cuts. This was his way of documenting the glory days of the MC before things got complicated. He interviewed Kathy as a way to get sort of an outsider's perspective of the club, which to me is a good way of painting an unbiased picture of our culture. Unfortunately, the movie's chosen ending is what it is. I love it as it is something close to what would happen in real life. We've seen so many hollywood film revenge endings that always ends in the way the public wants to, but it is important for the public to see an MC man in his most vulnerable and most human. Benny leaving the club is what a lot of people would do if they were in his shoes because only a few can stand the pain and avenge a fallen brother they have left behind. This movie does great in teaching a lesson of the consequences of half-assed loyalty, and people need to see that too.
I loved the movie. It wasn't some fake SOA crap. I think they left the door open for a part 2. The young kid that took over reminded me of a young Taco Bowman.
SOA is obviously dramatized to make it interesting, but in case you didn’t know Charlie hunnam spent time with a hells angel to learn about the character, Sonny barger one of the hells angel founders is in the show as well as 4 other real life hells angels…
I thought he was based on Taco also. He had the headband and the mustache and looked Hispanic. Obviously that didn’t really happen but it was symbolic of Tacos era.
The setting was the 50’s and 60’s so applying today’s protocols doesn’t apply. For example, women got patched back in the day, ie Mother Ruth. Hunter Thompson road with the 81 and wrote about it. So judge this from a historical perspective.
At the end, when the old lady says he doesn't miss riding, I knew that was BS. His character loved it more than anything. We know he didn't want to become prez I think he was to scared to get revenge, it's pretty much a suicide mission and he just wants to be happy and safe with his wife.
Whoa whoa whoa... ! No spoiler alert??? Dude, some of us haven't seen it yet! Sounds like you're giving the Cliff's notes to the entire movie! 😂 Respects
McCook Illinois is where the club was started. I was born there. Alot of these guys worked for Electromotive where my old man worked. I grew up with the Outlaws. Hell my first joint i ever smoked was with a club member. In Willow springs Illinois at a forest preserve they used to party at called Bullfrog Lake and Maple Lake. good times
Jodie Comer nailed the Chicago accent. I'm not from there, but spent weekends there while at Great Lakes Naval Training Center. I liked the movie. I didn't know HA's Funny Sonny had a connection to the Outlaws.
Thank kid pissed me off and was dishonorable I wished he would have avenged Johnny that whole scene and him not doing nothing about it killed the movie for me in the end
I think that was the point. The club was changing and that signified the end of what the club started as. Even in the scene, Johnny’s crew didn’t get out of their cars because it was too cold. I also feel that the movie was trying to say the young kid was Taco Bowman. In the next scene when they show him leading the pack, he’s wearing a red bandana which Taco Bowman is often wearing in photographs.
Hey Sose - Just watched your review. I agree with your report here. We did one over on my channel as well but ours goes into the history and how it was shown within the movie. What I didn't know that you said, was that "funny sonny" was a real person. But his presence did make me think of Sonny Barger.
Yea the club needs to stay small, everyone should know everyone. I roll with a club in Mexico and all the clubs get along and party together and support each other! 👊🏽
100% agree with you about the ending. I hate that some of these directors just try to end something in a way that they view as artistic one or bolds when, in reality, if you're trying to tell an authentic and captivating story, you know how that story should have ended
I liked this movie, my only gripe was that it should've been at least like the duration of The Irishman. I was excited to see this movie because I love cinema and motorcycles (it was a 10/10 for me personally). I feel like we need more MC related movies. Sose, do you think if a movie was made about the clubs out west in the 70s/80s, we would need a lot of technical advisors ie. various former members of different clubs? That way everyone has a side of their story?
Hey SOSE TOM HARDY is an excellent actor 👍 In my personal opinion, he's a very underrated actor. He's PULLED OFF so many different odd and crazy characters over his career. Some of them, I don't think even some of the more experienced actors could have done as great of a job. Which is hard for me to say about some of my favorite actors, but the truth is simply the truth at the end of the day!!! Just Sayin'🤬
The accent is actually the great lakes dialect... Everyone around the great lakes area from Milwaukee to Buffalo has this similar accent.. The further north you go the more prevalent it becomes. Some old shows that took place in Milwaukee like Levern and Shirley tried to feature it but it wasn't as good as this one. Chicago's accent though differed slightly... Although it was still the great lakes dialect it also has a certain sound to it as if you're running out of air when speaking. Oddly enough this accent is going away due to the influx of hispanic and black population in Chicago now. This accent was more prevalent with the white folks and now Chicagos population is only about 1/3 white... So as the white folks leave Chicago so does the accent... Great job on capturing the old school iconic Chicago accent.
I always called it the Lake efect accent. Barack Obama has it when annunciating most words. He isn't completely Black, & was raised by White grandparents partly in Hawaii of corse but does have the upper Midwest accent. It's noticeable in almost everyone born and schooled up there regardless of ethnic background to a more or less degree. I used to think the Chicago accent was like birth control in that unless the woman remained silent it wasn't happening. But then I matured eventually. I'm clearly not from the Midwest. It's common that alot of Black Folks in the USA speak with some variation of a southern accent but the way certain words are pronounced it's easy to guess where they started out just like anyone else. Years ago I was fascinated the 1st time I visited Seattle WA. & herd local African Americans speak southern. This is not meant to be offensive just my personal observations. I like everyone til givin a reason not to. Always been fascinated by accents worldwide.
This movie was based on a book. It follows the book almost word for word. My dad was in the outlaws in Waterloo Iowa in the late 60's early 70's. They got started from green Bay and a lot of what the movie portrayed was true back then. Specifically the challenge scenes. If a member wanted to remove the president they could challenge him and whoever won was in charge. Very different than today but how it was back then
I saw the movie over the weekend. I liked it overall, but I’m with you. I didn’t care for the ending. I know it’s got direct ties the one motorcycle club, but this scenario seems to have been common with all of them. The original members just get together blow off some steam raise a little hell and irritate people, but it seem like by the mid 60s the real true criminal element moved in. Just my opinion. ✌🏻🇺🇸
The Masters of Menace!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😁. No sorry Man! But I like a good giggle 😀 But Yeah Sose Man, You hit the nail right on the head when You said about how You have a much more mellow atmosphere in a smaller club, as opposed to the political atmosphere when the club gets Bigger! I experienced it myself 35 years ago and after 2 years I felt that the fun had gone and I was suffocating! I left and spent the next 25 years in 2 abusive marriages, Hell Man! Then I was really suffocated! Man that was some freaking rollercoaster ride!! That's Ghostin# Baby! 🙏👍🤘😎🏴
Yeah Man, It went from a group of around 10-12 of Us in the Welsh Harley Owners in the first year and the second year We were called the Harley Davidson Club Wales and had 60+ members and all that original fun had gone in my own experiences 👍🤘😎🏴
Not only a coward but young! The ogs lived by respect an code these young dudes don't care if they can pull a trigger jst to get to the top they will we see this everyday
I loved this movie, but it made me realise that outlaw bikers and 1%ers lost their ways from what the true meaning of 1%er was. It's not about drugs, money, numbers the way it became later on.
I wanted a little more from the ending but the ending seemed more realistic. Benny didn’t want that life which to me explains why he didn’t get revenge for Johnny. I hate that the rest of the Chicago Vandals were cowards and nobody avenged Johnny but it seems like that’s how things would have naturally fell. Overall I really enjoyed the movie and its future classic in my eyes just off the time era accuracy and the bikes. The story was engaging enough and had some dry humor but it a few tweaks could have made this movie iconic.
I am Chicago born and bread. Jodie's (Kathy's) accent seems a little over the top until you listen to the actual Kathy she actually talked like that. Then the Tom Hardy character. It's not accurate as a Chicago accent necessarily that one hears everday but I think bikers adopt new ways of talking. He was doing Brando . But then again Brando was raised partly in Chicago. Chicago is a big area with lots of sub-accents within the basic Chicago accent . You'd see the same thing in New York or LA or Dallas. Big diverse cities have a wide range of accents. It was fine. I obsess about accents and it was a little distracting at the beginning but the story took over for me at some point and it didn't matter. Another thing to remember is generations don't all talk the same. Accents evolve over time.
Totally agree! Good movie, shitty ending! But even that ending is sort of realistic. I know a few Bennies. What I never understood is why they stop riding all together. I’m leaving the country and my chapter soon (no beef, just longing for warmer weather and all year round riding season)… and I’m not 100% sure if I’ll join the local chapter in the place I’m going to, but club or not… I wanna keep riding
I’m noticing a lot of Brits playing Prez’s of fictional American MC’s in film/tv. Tom Hardy in Bike Riders. Charlie Hunham in Sons. Vinnie Jones in Hell Ride. Etc. Curious why that is.
I saw the movie opening night. I haveto say I did enjoy it. Do want to see it again to see if there is anything I mssed. For me, it seemed to move slow. And I agree with you that it was too long and the end left you wanting. Could have been better, but I appreciate the angle that they were going for.
Best movie of the subculture. The way they had the man documenting and interviewing i believe was to symbolize Hunter S. Thompson. Funny Sonny was spot on. And i believe the young buck that kills Johnny was to symbolize Taco Bowman with the bandana and to symbolize the type of reign he had. The bridge shot when Benny is on the run from the police replicated the iconic picture. They did a great job replicating the book. And i liked the realness. The new era of club biker is much more brutal in the way they handle business. My favorite scene was when they end up brawling with the Rogues at the car show, and then all have beers and hang out after. Loved the movie!
My favorite TV show of all time which I have on DVD and I’m 59 is easy rider I love the bikes grew up close to the Bandidos Club House. Just love choppers kind of old-school like that.
It was a very fantastic movie, it’s our generations Casino or Goodfellas. Its shows how clubs use to be and how clubs are today, now I’m not saying all clubs are the same clubs have their own chapters which operate independently. Anyways fantastic movie 😎👍🏻
I already seen the movie so i'm good - but bro! If you wanna grow your channel, you can't just give away the entire plot in your review :D Anyone thinking about seeing it will have it all ruined! That said, your channel kicks ass, i'm an older guy new to riding, and i'm glad I saw your channel before getting a cut and adding patches. I think you saved me from getting a major beat down or worse.
First time I saw the movie I honestly thought after the scene with Benny on the steps crying that he was gonna go crazy and start killin mfs. Did not expect that ending but still a good movie.
The truth based on what I've read is that Benny, Kathy, and Benny's soon are still living in Florida. They would have had to deviate significantly for Benny to have gone after retribution. I agree with most of what you said though, I've said the same thing about the wife putting business out there or speaking for the club. Even the Jax Teller reference. The way Green Street Hooligans ended was very similar to how Johnny died..... IMO
Seen the movie. Thought is was good. But agree about the ending. I think many will want to join a club once they see it. Some will like the original less completed stuff and others what it became.
I really enjoyed this film i'm happy I watched it in the theaters I did wear my vest I felt like this film was more like a documentary that's just how i felt as I was watching the main character Jodie Comer talking to the journalist about the story's and the different situations and how you saw it slowly play out through the entire film I wasn't expecting it to jump back and forth like that but over all I loved the film
I think it was good for what it was. Very goodfellas vibe to it. Wouldn’t want to be fed bs when it comes to real culture so I’m glad the ending stayed true. Hope we get a movie about the Nordic biker wars soon that shit was polarizing
I did think the ending sucked. Since it was based on a book of a Real Club maybe that's just the way it was suppose end. I thought at least there should have been a second by Johnny/Tom Hardy like a Sgt At Arms, strapped to prevent exactly what happened. I Know they were not set up like that still operating as a 99 Club but It was only common sense. I thought it was a good movie. I've not really seen a Biker Movie that I'd call the Standard. I guess that Docu-Drama Gangland Under Cover is good but that wasn't a Movie, just the telling of a FBI CI's story.
Yeah I liked the movie and I did really appreciate the face that the producers, while making it, weren't thinking "Yeah, lets throw some quick gay shit in there" which is so prevalent lately. I read a study on brain scans. They showed heterosexual males an image of two men kissing - and it was the same brain scan as showing them maggots, or something else that was primally disgusting. It DOESN'T Need to be in every God damned movie.
I like it but i think it missed a mark. I feel like i’m watching The Godfather but on the POV of Fredo Corleone which sucks but could have been legendary otherwise 😝 I feel like we are owed another movie that showed the Prologue- how they all met and came to be
If you have read the the book you by Danny Lyons you know it is a photo style book with interview clips that he had taken over a period of several years.
The Bike Riders movie. The story of the outlaws MC How was it? Hell Angels VS Bandidos: George Christie 👉ruclips.net/video/Rm6k4PqANsA/видео.html&ab_channel=DemonsRow
I was in the bucket with the outlaws and the angels when they all got reco and I was on range with both at different times and a guy had a tattoo on his stomach that said adios angels die in outlaw soil I always thought that was a great tattoo those outlaws all left London the rest patched over I was always also in with the banditos when Wiener ordered the hit on his people it was the wild West down here in the early 2000s
Also thought the movie was cool
Can't wait to see it. My uncle was PDR before the patch over. I kinda always thought that Jax Teller was a bit put on and the SOA series a little over the top.

I thought it was a good movie
Probably the best Hollywood biker movie I've seen. The death of Johnny was the death of brotherhood. He got in the way of business. It's cold, it's paranoid, it's a terrible ending but it is what it is. *Listen to the last part of the interview with Benny's girlfriend* "They see a different patch and they want to start killing each other; they join clubs because they hate rules and laws, then they have to live by club rules and laws." The smart ones get out and they don't get sucked in, that'd be independent-minded Benny. He saw where it was going. Got out of town and never rode again. You can't count how many guys did that in the 1970s when it got crazy. The pipeline of chemicals from The Satan's Choice, to the Outlaws and the Hells Angels opened up a whole mess of violence. In real life the biker world is not a fairy tale, and I appreciate the director not ending it like it was.
Gave me chills reading this. Saw the movie on Sat.
Did you beat off in the theater? Sure sounds like it here. Just saying.
Greatly put my only issue with this movie was it wasn't longer we need more biker clubs/gang movies to really educate audiences of its history I was not surpized how johhnt passed because they younger men that get Invovled in gangs are more violent an less about honor an code however tom hardys preformince was great one of my fav actors
Thanks for the spoiler! Not🤬😡
Womp womp
The problem with this movie is the time restriction of what a movie is. 2-3hrs for a decade or even 6-8yrs is not enough. Picture this was a mini-series like band of brothers. It really shows the demand of this kind of genre.
Yooo I would seriously LOVE for this movie to be a mini series. You should try to pitch that idea to someone.
I totally agree about the ending. How you a billy bad butt the whole movie and didn’t stand when it mattered.
I mean Dune already showed that you can make that happen in parts Like The Biker Riders part 1 put more things into it, then see how people liked it then put part 2 out I think that's what movies need now is instead of trying to put everything in a 2-3 hour long film they should just tell a story in parts if its going to be that long and that deep and detailed then I would say they should have done that, Idk I liked it either way.
Wish they would've finished the Gangland Undercover series. It was a guy I think Charles Falco that infiltrated the Vagos, Mongols and Outlaws
Regarding friends, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
I agree
Friends come and go, enemies accumulate!
Id even take one quarter over 100 pennies tbh
@@Trash2000s agreed
Hard to even find 4 quarters that can even equal a dollar nowadays
Hopefully this movie will open the doors to MORE biker movies because a good written Biker story is worth telling
You had me at "it's not woke".
lol
The ending was actually perfect.
He left this kind of lifestyle and chose his love; would he have taken the others dudes life he would have been never able to get out and would have ended up like Jax Teller basically.
That's the point. Tom Hardy's Character could have also simple left at some points in the movie, or simply take a step back. Yet he didn't.
The movies core theme is how MC's changed over time at least the 1%ers. And that it wasn't anymore about being free. About being a place for people nobody wanted somewhere else.
I actually like it that the movie has less "action" as e.g. SOA.
Hey Sose, I think it's based off of an actual interview by the woman that she is portraying. She studied the tapes to speak just like her. Director said that he couldn't tell the difference. Thanks for the review btw
The treatment of Benny just giving everything up and never touching a motorcycle again was pretty spot on for a lot of married men in this world. In that one scene you see her say that Benny doesn’t miss it. In the next shot, you see him look away; you see something wash over him. You know what it is. Contrast that with her satisfaction.
Pretty good movie. I think they honored the spirit of things without being disrespectful. The changes in the MC really paralled the changes in our culture. Interesting movie. Beautifully shot.
I thought they'd paint 1% clubs in a worse light. Does a great job at pointing out that the surge of new members with seemingly no prospect period or hang around period were the cause for criminal activity. I mean when anyone can join your crew then not listen and bring their friends, start chapters everywhere etc. When you don't know all your guys individually you don't know who they are. I think the movie made it very clear things got out of hand in that aspect. And that's why clubs make you hangaround and get to know you. I enjoyed it. I think a few parts were for sure fictional and wouldn't of happened even back then
think your missing the point, the movie is based off a book, and the interviews did happen.
He doesn’t get it
Yeah, the real interviews are on Danny Lyon's website.
Its still not fun
@@valpostreetart Shout out to you for being the only one here who values grammar and spelling.
Why base it off a book with a bad ending, spend all that money with prime actors, write a better story with no royalties
Fair review. I really liked the low key, more realistic look too. I hated the ending w Tom getting shot and Benny not rising to the occasion to break that youngster off and take over as pres just like Tom’s wish was. That would’ve been the ending. They could’ve still portrayed the timeframe of the more gang shit coming into it too but showing the separation between the Vandals and that direction as they were at that crossroad. Benny not even riding anymore at the end in Florida pissed me off. You go from telling rivals they’d have to kill him for his cut to then dropping all of it. No way.
I felt the exact same way!!
My only issue was the president. He knew what that kid was about and shouldve seen it coming the second the kid said knives that he meant to kill him.
He knew everything was changing and wanted out. Was looking for someone,preferably Benny, to take over and keep the club regulated. By that time it was too big and out of control for the old timers. Everything changed after Vietnam. With Johnny it was a brotherhood men's club. After Johnny it become a honorless crime gang
@@MrSwitchblade327 im well aware of all that. So was Johnny. He told that kid off bc he saw who that kid was, and even threw him a beating. Then the kid comes back a full member from another chapter and challenges a president who already kicked his ass once. Johnny wasnt the smartest guy, but even a blind man could see that kid had no intentions of a fair fight. He was clearly after power, not honor.
@@michaellarocca4879I have an idea on that, only because I seen the movie yesterday and this scene really stuck w me. It was right after Johnny shot cockroach in the leg, Benny questions him on what the tf that was. This is what fucked me up, Johnny goes “that was handling it” and gets all aware about how ruthless the new members are. He then showed what I saw as fear, the first and only time I saw the dude fear anything. He then mentions how the new guys don’t listen and that he’s losing grip on the club.
I think Johnny understood the way in which he could remain in control, and “evolve” with the direction the club was going in. He’d have to let go of his morals and become cold and ruthless. No more brotherhood, no more laid back times.
With Benny then leaving, Johnny’s convictions got all fucked up and he faltered. Bro got stuck between his love for riding, and what it’ll now take for him to continue doing so. I’m sure Benny let riding go for the same reason, because he also understood what it’d now take to continue.
It’s a very honest ending “that I liked”. Johnny sort of accepted his reality and chose to die with himself still intact. You could probably make an argument that he was already in the process of losing himself before he let himself die
@@trevorwg4878 I think Benny gave up riding and left for Florida because it wasn't really about riding for him, it was about the brotherhood. The brotherhood was gone, so he had no reason to stay. Benny may or may not have missed riding bikes, but he did miss his friends.
Irl, the reporter was a member of
I liked "Harley and the Davidsons" miniseries. It told the story of how this all started..
Saw this last night, I love this movie having lived thru this era I think they nailed it.
I was an original of a 1 chapter club years ago, 24 years later I'm a retired member. When it was small we had a blast with an emphasis on having a good time. Within a few years it expanded all over America and a couple chapters in Europe. It became very political with unnecessary drama. Still a great club but the more people the more problems. I haven't seen this movie yet. Thanks for your perspectives on being a biker. Your interview with George Christie was a home run.
If you ever wanted to sitdown demonsrow@gmail.com
@@DemonsRow You should interview someone from the Comanchero MC and from the Rebels MC. Talk about their histories overseas and in North America. Do some videos on the Satudarah MC.
I'd say if you want to join a club for the brotherhood, stick to small. Once things get too big, it becomes an industry that requires a source of revenue. That revenue will likely be illegal and start to attract even worse, greedier people. And that's when shit really hits the fan and brotherhood won't be a priority other than for revenge. It feels so good to do something you love with people you care about and know you have nothing hanging over your head.
Also, write your own movie. I can help you find a starting point, help you find a flow, and help you edit when you're done. Be the Martin Scorsese for your people and create a better vision.
You have no idea how what you’re talking about. Dues are not expensive.
I watched this last night, I give it a 7 out of 10 only because of the ending. It was a quiet way to end it. Revenge would have been nicer, but it was a classier way to end it. The idea of living in Wild Bunch for the rest of your life doesn't work with couples, unless you're already distant like the President of the club to his wife in the movie. (Wife of a truck driver is trained to be alone having her husband gone for days, weeks months at a time). Revenge would not have worked with the movie because the Vandals slowly degraded into too many chapters and unknown members. Revenge would have ended in more revenge. It would have placed the members of the original club on the same level as the new members who were more like selfish criminals, than hooligans. That's where the knives of fists idea is used to separate the two different ideas of MC culture. The levels of crime and violence escalate with the new members. While the original Vandals do this thing because it is fun, their fights end with drinking, not death. The new members nearly beat the life out of one of their own, and leave them for dead after they attack them like a coward. (Outnumbering, ambushing, and beating a drunk guy nearly to death who is taking a p*ss isn't exactly heroic or honorable). Then the hub cap thief who makes it up the ladder takes the cowards route by bringing a gun to a knife fight. The whole movie is full of instances that show the stark differences between the G.I. Generation and the Silent Generation.
Man this is a great of putting it. It takes a certain level of empathy toward the culture to understand the films intentions like this.
Why didn't the Vandals patch include "MC"?
The bikes should get an award for supporting actors.
Avoinding stress probably. Especially in regards of the merch.
i would rate that movie 8+ to 10 'cause it is an honest description, based on a book written by an enquiry journalist who lived quite a bit long time with these dudes! The acting is superb too (Tom Hardy was the main reason i went to see that movie) and it's a great description of the 1% biker world of the mid-sixties... Really, i didn't regret a cent viewing it!
The movie was based on what really happened. These guys werent gangsters or what you would think of when it comes to a Modern 1% club. The changing of the Presidents ,literally changed how clubs of that era operated. They shifted to criminal enterprises amd Benny wanted nothing to do with it.
Thats not true everything is not a 100% historic
Just saw it. It was an amazing film. Definitely goodfellas of the MC community
I’m so glad to see you supporting jd y’all need to collab
we will
I always respect your perspective. You said it started off wrong. You have to remember that club started almost 60yrs ago in the movie. And it wasn’t a true 1% club at that time. I just turned 50. And looking back at how many things are completely different.
To further prove my point, the journalist was embedded with them and wrote the book. So even though they had 1% patches on, they weren’t a 1% club in the definition we use now. It’s no different than having the media embedded with us at the start of 9/11. Now we don’t allow them.
And lastly, I think most people might have missed the subtle hint at the very end. When Kathy looks out the window at Benny, and ahead of says everything is better now, Benny has a sideways smile. I personally believe that they both know that Benny deleted the kid that took out Johnny.
But, I will say this. When they showed up for the fight, I told my wife it’s going sideways.
If someone challenged me like that, they wouldn’t have been able to gun the weapon. I’d have a very accurate friend watching over me.
shes was speaking about the club after the fact not back then
Great movie! Great review! Lots of bikes. Brotherhood happened at the bar.
I watched the film three times. I really liked the movie. I was pleasantly surprised by Austin. And the skill of Tom and Jodie was expected. Yes, it was good!!!👍👍👍
you need to look up danny lyon and the book this movie is based on. the outlaws back then actually let him into the lifestyle and even earn a full patch so that he could photograph and interview them. and the movie tells a story by piecing together those interviews so a lot of the events actually happened including that ending you didnt like
Biker Boyz . It was black MC culture in California
20years later I'm still waiting for a Sequel
Genuine question. Is it really black MC culture? Never met one before, so just curious?
Biker Boyz was fucking stupid movie
@@MikeSutter-t2qI’m black And I Agree 💯
@@hereticdude2788nah just more ricer bike culture
Anyway right now I'm watching Hell's Angels '69 and a few days ago I saw Hells Angels Forever
Great films/documentaries
Ever got the chance to meet Big Vinnie or any of them guys ?
Many othersbutnot big vinny
If Benny would've got revenge it wouldn't be realistic because the whole club was already changed. He'd already have been lucky not having a contract out on him for being Johnnys right hand. He saw it coming as well as johnny did that's why he left. Came back after and still moved. That moment after wounding Cockroach just so he could get out alive and their conversation in the car was pivotal and telling. Did Benny let Johnny down? Yeah in a way but by that time both knew the club had become something darker and more ungovernable than either wanted to be part of. The lack of honor in the last challenge scene said it all. Honor and brotherhood died with Johnny.
I agree
In Outlaws MC any memeber can challenge another memeber you have beef or feel disrespected. Its $100 fine you up on the CH bar and get busy!! FACTS!!
Sose, I don't where to start. You and JD working together is based. My favorite biker movie is Quadrophenia. Rockers, and Mods. Guys making their scooters, and motorcycles look cool, and go faster. There is a new rebellion brewing. Total grey area. Crazy E-Bikes with dual motors, and dual crank sets, Drift Karts, Groms, electric Groms, guys wiring EMTB's to go over 100MPH. If you are a Gearhead this an exciting time to be alive. I will check out the movie. Respect for you "Ape Hangers" and old school "Car Guys" I am ecstatic with enthusiasm. Love. Pure Love.
Much love
I think The Bikeriders is more similar to A Bronx Tale than it is to Goodfellas given how the focus is on the family and romatic aspect of being in an MC.
Also, the journalist part - Danny Lyon was a former 1%er himself, rode with the Outlaws for some time before retiring his cuts. This was his way of documenting the glory days of the MC before things got complicated. He interviewed Kathy as a way to get sort of an outsider's perspective of the club, which to me is a good way of painting an unbiased picture of our culture.
Unfortunately, the movie's chosen ending is what it is. I love it as it is something close to what would happen in real life. We've seen so many hollywood film revenge endings that always ends in the way the public wants to, but it is important for the public to see an MC man in his most vulnerable and most human. Benny leaving the club is what a lot of people would do if they were in his shoes because only a few can stand the pain and avenge a fallen brother they have left behind.
This movie does great in teaching a lesson of the consequences of half-assed loyalty, and people need to see that too.
I loved the movie. It wasn't some fake SOA crap. I think they left the door open for a part 2. The young kid that took over reminded me of a young Taco Bowman.
SOA is obviously dramatized to make it interesting, but in case you didn’t know Charlie hunnam spent time with a hells angel to learn about the character, Sonny barger one of the hells angel founders is in the show as well as 4 other real life hells angels…
I thought he was based on Taco also. He had the headband and the mustache and looked Hispanic. Obviously that didn’t really happen but it was symbolic of Tacos era.
@@MarcoRico-ws1pd yep a lot of people made a note of that detail too. Great way of symbolizing the shift in culture.
@@MarcoRico-ws1pd Exactly!! It wasn't Taco's storyline but it was symbolic of Taco's era. You nailed it!!
The plot was based on a song by Lucero called Bikeriders. The song was based on the Danny Lions photobook
Excellent band,excellent song, excellent movie
@@MrSwitchblade327 learned since this comment that the movie was directed by the lead singer of Lucero’s brother. Makes sense why they’d use it
I Enjoyed the movie.... was well done with storyline and the right actors for the characters as well
The setting was the 50’s and 60’s so applying today’s protocols doesn’t apply. For example, women got patched back in the day, ie Mother Ruth. Hunter Thompson road with the 81 and wrote about it. So judge this from a historical perspective.
At the end, when the old lady says he doesn't miss riding, I knew that was BS. His character loved it more than anything. We know he didn't want to become prez I think he was to scared to get revenge, it's pretty much a suicide mission and he just wants to be happy and safe with his wife.
Truth
Zipco gave me the most real feeling of a club member. Open and honest with his brothers and enjoying his time with the club.
Whoa whoa whoa... ! No spoiler alert??? Dude, some of us haven't seen it yet! Sounds like you're giving the Cliff's notes to the entire movie! 😂
Respects
McCook Illinois is where the club was started. I was born there. Alot of these guys worked for Electromotive where my old man worked. I grew up with the Outlaws. Hell my first joint i ever smoked was with a club member. In Willow springs Illinois at a forest preserve they used to party at called Bullfrog Lake and Maple Lake. good times
fav biker movie is a old movie from Australia called "stone"..kind of hard to find but amazing..
Was the motorcycle noises in the background in FL at the end a nod to the Outlaws opening up a chapter there?
Jodie Comer nailed the Chicago accent. I'm not from there, but spent weekends there while at Great Lakes Naval Training Center. I liked the movie. I didn't know HA's Funny Sonny had a connection to the Outlaws.
Some people are saying no i dont know
@@DemonsRow Danny lyons said sonny was running around with the outlaws. this was before the territorial hassles.
Video Spoiler
I agree what you said Benny should've went back and got vengeance for Johnny
You nailed it. The end was definitely flat. I give it an 8.
Thanks!
Appreciate you you’re awesome
I give it a 10 great movie and your right it is the Goodfellas of biker movies
Thank kid pissed me off and was dishonorable
I wished he would have avenged Johnny that whole scene and him not doing nothing about it killed the movie for me in the end
I think that was the point. The club was changing and that signified the end of what the club started as. Even in the scene, Johnny’s crew didn’t get out of their cars because it was too cold. I also feel that the movie was trying to say the young kid was Taco Bowman. In the next scene when they show him leading the pack, he’s wearing a red bandana which Taco Bowman is often wearing in photographs.
@@JefferyKurz did he kill the Original club founder?
@@WEREWOLFxALPHA I’m not sure. I tried to do some research and see if any info on who killed Johnny but could not find anything.
Hey Sose - Just watched your review. I agree with your report here. We did one over on my channel as well but ours goes into the history and how it was shown within the movie. What I didn't know that you said, was that "funny sonny" was a real person. But his presence did make me think of Sonny Barger.
Yea he was a member of
Yea the club needs to stay small, everyone should know everyone. I roll with a club in Mexico and all the clubs get along and party together and support each other! 👊🏽
100% agree with you about the ending. I hate that some of these directors just try to end something in a way that they view as artistic one or bolds when, in reality, if you're trying to tell an authentic and captivating story, you know how that story should have ended
I liked this movie, my only gripe was that it should've been at least like the duration of The Irishman. I was excited to see this movie because I love cinema and motorcycles (it was a 10/10 for me personally). I feel like we need more MC related movies. Sose, do you think if a movie was made about the clubs out west in the 70s/80s, we would need a lot of technical advisors ie. various former members of different clubs? That way everyone has a side of their story?
Hey SOSE
TOM HARDY is an excellent actor 👍
In my personal opinion, he's a very underrated actor.
He's PULLED OFF so many different odd and crazy characters over his career. Some of them, I don't think even some of the more experienced actors could have done as great of a job. Which is hard for me to say about some of my favorite actors, but the truth is simply the truth at the end of the day!!!
Just Sayin'🤬
Hes a good actor
The accent is actually the great lakes dialect... Everyone around the great lakes area from Milwaukee to Buffalo has this similar accent.. The further north you go the more prevalent it becomes. Some old shows that took place in Milwaukee like Levern and Shirley tried to feature it but it wasn't as good as this one. Chicago's accent though differed slightly... Although it was still the great lakes dialect it also has a certain sound to it as if you're running out of air when speaking. Oddly enough this accent is going away due to the influx of hispanic and black population in Chicago now. This accent was more prevalent with the white folks and now Chicagos population is only about 1/3 white... So as the white folks leave Chicago so does the accent... Great job on capturing the old school iconic Chicago accent.
I always called it the Lake efect accent.
Barack Obama has it when annunciating most words.
He isn't completely Black, & was raised by White grandparents partly in Hawaii of corse but does have the upper Midwest accent.
It's noticeable in almost everyone born and schooled up there regardless of ethnic background to a more or less degree.
I used to think the Chicago accent was like birth control in that unless the woman remained silent it wasn't happening.
But then I matured eventually.
I'm clearly not from the Midwest.
It's common that alot of Black Folks in the USA speak with some variation of a southern accent but the way certain words are pronounced it's easy to guess where they started out just like anyone else.
Years ago I was fascinated the 1st time I visited Seattle WA. & herd local African Americans speak southern.
This is not meant to be offensive just my personal observations.
I like everyone til givin a reason not to.
Always been fascinated by accents worldwide.
Beyond the law
Stone cold
This movie was based on a book. It follows the book almost word for word. My dad was in the outlaws in Waterloo Iowa in the late 60's early 70's. They got started from green Bay and a lot of what the movie portrayed was true back then. Specifically the challenge scenes. If a member wanted to remove the president they could challenge him and whoever won was in charge. Very different than today but how it was back then
The Outlaws never had a Waterloo chapter!!! NEVER more BS
It was a great movie. Tom Hardy was the best. Speaking as an older biker I now have two favorite biker films the wild one and this one.
I saw the movie over the weekend. I liked it overall, but I’m with you. I didn’t care for the ending. I know it’s got direct ties the one motorcycle club, but this scenario seems to have been common with all of them. The original members just get together blow off some steam raise a little hell and irritate people, but it seem like by the mid 60s the real true criminal element moved in. Just my opinion. ✌🏻🇺🇸
Yea thats what it looks like
i 100% agree like damn bro got shot and killed at a knife fight? thats bs man wild
I just got done watching it today. If I had to rank it, I’ll give it a seven.
The Masters of Menace!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😁. No sorry Man! But I like a good giggle 😀 But Yeah Sose Man, You hit the nail right on the head when You said about how You have a much more mellow atmosphere in a smaller club, as opposed to the political atmosphere when the club gets Bigger! I experienced it myself 35 years ago and after 2 years I felt that the fun had gone and I was suffocating! I left and spent the next 25 years in 2 abusive marriages, Hell Man! Then I was really suffocated! Man that was some freaking rollercoaster ride!! That's Ghostin# Baby! 🙏👍🤘😎🏴
Yeah Man, It went from a group of around 10-12 of Us in the Welsh Harley Owners in the first year and the second year We were called the Harley Davidson Club Wales and had 60+ members and all that original fun had gone in my own experiences 👍🤘😎🏴
#ghostin yes lol
Who thinks the dude who killed johnny was supposed to be Taco?
That is exactly who he was replicating
I def did
The dude that killed Johnny was definitely a coward
he even had the yellow bobber
Not only a coward but young! The ogs lived by respect an code these young dudes don't care if they can pull a trigger jst to get to the top they will we see this everyday
I loved this movie, but it made me realise that outlaw bikers and 1%ers lost their ways from what the true meaning of 1%er was. It's not about drugs, money, numbers the way it became later on.
I wanted a little more from the ending but the ending seemed more realistic. Benny didn’t want that life which to me explains why he didn’t get revenge for Johnny. I hate that the rest of the Chicago Vandals were cowards and nobody avenged Johnny but it seems like that’s how things would have naturally fell. Overall I really enjoyed the movie and its future classic in my eyes just off the time era accuracy and the bikes. The story was engaging enough and had some dry humor but it a few tweaks could have made this movie iconic.
even if the ending is what it is they couldve set it up better
My favorite biker movie is Running Cool. I want to see this one soon.
I am Chicago born and bread. Jodie's (Kathy's) accent seems a little over the top until you listen to the actual Kathy she actually talked like that.
Then the Tom Hardy character. It's not accurate as a Chicago accent necessarily that one hears everday but I think bikers adopt new ways of talking. He was doing Brando . But then again Brando was raised partly in Chicago.
Chicago is a big area with lots of sub-accents within the basic Chicago accent . You'd see the same thing in New York or LA or Dallas. Big diverse cities have a wide range of accents.
It was fine. I obsess about accents and it was a little distracting at the beginning but the story took over for me at some point and it didn't matter.
Another thing to remember is generations don't all talk the same. Accents evolve over time.
Totally agree! Good movie, shitty ending! But even that ending is sort of realistic. I know a few Bennies. What I never understood is why they stop riding all together. I’m leaving the country and my chapter soon (no beef, just longing for warmer weather and all year round riding season)… and I’m not 100% sure if I’ll join the local chapter in the place I’m going to, but club or not… I wanna keep riding
I’m noticing a lot of Brits playing Prez’s of fictional American MC’s in film/tv.
Tom Hardy in Bike Riders.
Charlie Hunham in Sons.
Vinnie Jones in Hell Ride.
Etc.
Curious why that is.
I saw the movie opening night. I haveto say I did enjoy it. Do want to see it again to see if there is anything I mssed.
For me, it seemed to move slow. And I agree with you that it was too long and the end left you wanting. Could have been better, but I appreciate the angle that they were going for.
Best movie of the subculture. The way they had the man documenting and interviewing i believe was to symbolize Hunter S. Thompson. Funny Sonny was spot on. And i believe the young buck that kills Johnny was to symbolize Taco Bowman with the bandana and to symbolize the type of reign he had. The bridge shot when Benny is on the run from the police replicated the iconic picture. They did a great job replicating the book. And i liked the realness. The new era of club biker is much more brutal in the way they handle business. My favorite scene was when they end up brawling with the Rogues at the car show, and then all have beers and hang out after. Loved the movie!
I agree with the hunter s assessment
Tom Hardy AKA Marlon Brando.
Austin Butler AKA James Dean.
Amazing Movie.
I liked it. I wanted to see a movie like this for a while. The end credits really showed the attention to detail too.

My favorite TV show of all time which I have on DVD and I’m 59 is easy rider I love the bikes grew up close to the Bandidos Club House. Just love choppers kind of old-school like that.
It was a very fantastic movie, it’s our generations Casino or Goodfellas. Its shows how clubs use to be and how clubs are today, now I’m not saying all clubs are the same clubs have their own chapters which operate independently. Anyways fantastic movie 😎👍🏻
I already seen the movie so i'm good - but bro! If you wanna grow your channel, you can't just give away the entire plot in your review :D Anyone thinking about seeing it will have it all ruined!
That said, your channel kicks ass, i'm an older guy new to riding, and i'm glad I saw your channel before getting a cut and adding patches. I think you saved me from getting a major beat down or worse.
I don't have high hopes from anything out of Hollywood especially after SOA but I'll check it out.
First time I saw the movie I honestly thought after the scene with Benny on the steps crying that he was gonna go crazy and start killin mfs. Did not expect that ending but still a good movie.
The truth based on what I've read is that Benny, Kathy, and Benny's soon are still living in Florida. They would have had to deviate significantly for Benny to have gone after retribution.
I agree with most of what you said though, I've said the same thing about the wife putting business out there or speaking for the club. Even the Jax Teller reference. The way Green Street Hooligans ended was very similar to how Johnny died..... IMO
Watched this tonight and totally agree with Sose. Felt long, the pace was slow and the ending was trash. But I liked some parts
Seen the movie. Thought is was good. But agree about the ending. I think many will want to join a club once they see it. Some will like the original less completed stuff and others what it became.
I love this movie I think it is right up there with the loveless
You got a good channel going ghost,like all the old back history of clubs.keep doing your thing brother.
Appreciate you
My favorite biker movies of all time has got to be Biker Boyz
I really enjoyed this film i'm happy I watched it in the theaters I did wear my vest I felt like this film was more like a documentary that's just how i felt as I was watching the main character Jodie Comer talking to the journalist about the story's and the different situations and how you saw it slowly play out through the entire film I wasn't expecting it to jump back and forth like that but over all I loved the film
I FULLY AGREE!!!!!!
I think it was good for what it was. Very goodfellas vibe to it. Wouldn’t want to be fed bs when it comes to real culture so I’m glad the ending stayed true. Hope we get a movie about the Nordic biker wars soon that shit was polarizing
Can't dislike a single video lol. I hit that like just for the intro! :P
Haha thanks
I did think the ending sucked. Since it was based on a book of a Real Club maybe that's just the way it was suppose end. I thought at least there should have been a second by Johnny/Tom Hardy like a Sgt At Arms, strapped to prevent exactly what happened. I Know they were not set up like that still operating as a 99 Club but It was only common sense. I thought it was a good movie. I've not really seen a Biker Movie that I'd call the Standard. I guess that Docu-Drama Gangland Under Cover is good but that wasn't a Movie, just the telling of a FBI CI's story.
Coming from this lifestyle as a woman, and as an Executive Producer of a biker film myself, I think the movie was great.
First off this is based off photos and actual voice interviews from a woman that was a wife she didn’t name names but it did happen you can find it
Yeah I liked the movie and I did really appreciate the face that the producers, while making it, weren't thinking "Yeah, lets throw some quick gay shit in there" which is so prevalent lately.
I read a study on brain scans. They showed heterosexual males an image of two men kissing - and it was the same brain scan as showing them maggots, or something else that was primally disgusting.
It DOESN'T Need to be in every God damned movie.
Hollywood forgot the eye protection again...
Good show👍.Good Morning 😎
Morning!
It could of been way better I thought...
I like it but i think it missed a mark. I feel like i’m watching The Godfather but on the POV of Fredo Corleone which sucks but could have been legendary otherwise 😝
I feel like we are owed another movie that showed the Prologue- how they all met and came to be
They said the interviews stuff happened in real like or atleast had recordings that’s how they got the accents so good
If you have read the the book you by Danny Lyons you know it is a photo style book with interview clips that he had taken over a period of several years.
Austin stayed true to the guy he was based off who did move to Florida and stop riding
I’ve never seen a biker movie until I saw this one in theaters so I can’t really judge this one against other films. But I really liked this film
