    EASY RIDER-easily over-rated

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 16, 2000 | 1 out of 2 found this Easy Rider (1969) review helpful

    Probably one of the most over-rated movies of all time, EASY RIDER is the story of two (Fonda & Hopper) homosexual drug peddler/addicts who are finally gunned down by southern patriots who are outraged at their outlandish clothes and bad manners.The... saving graces of this movie are, excellent acting by Jack Nicholson; and the zonked out drug expieriance of the "heros" at a whorehouse-which inadvertenlty gives a strong anti-drug message to the audience.Fonda conned Terry Southern into saying that Terry wrote the script as a way of getting financing for this movie fiasnco.For those interested in real 1960's counter culture moivies, "Getting Straight", Elliot Gould; "Who Will Stop The Rain", Nick Nolte; and "Joe", Peter Boyle.

    LIVING IT !!! ~ By Jeremy Kay

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 31, 2003

    Pros: EASY RIDER ~ One of my Greatest Life Adventures.

    Cons: That we never made the sequel.

    I was the Art Director / Production Designer on EASY RIDER, responsible for "Everything visual in front of the camera," including the Scenics, Sets, Costumes and of course, the famous Bikes (along with my tech support Staff - and the Hell&#...39;s Angels). Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, Laslo Kovacs & Myself actually LIVED the roles of the characters as we crossed the country making the movie - fighting the locals & being 'psychedelic'! Most people had never seen a "Hippie" - but they knew they hated us. Long-haired bikers weren't welcomed, (So we often pretended to be a Rock Band passing through). It was a Dangerous & Exciting Adventure in America that I'll never forget! Today I write & illustrate Gothic Horror Novels & Movies --- Jeremy Kay, Santa Monica. Read more Less

    Great soundtrack with the freedom to ride shows what many bikers of today can enjoy, I do agree with the previous review, that biking during this time was not carefree and many were prejuduice toward a lifestyle like that. It only shows how far bikin...g has changed now. Read more Less

    Excellent Movie

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 28, 2002

    This movie accuratly describes that turbulent time in our history, when a generation awoke. It was a time, if you had long hair, for example, you didn't go to certain locations.

    It's a movie that helps keep my head screwed on.

    It's a goddam classic, no arguments.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 7, 2001

    Without doubt, an absolute American classic. The acid tripping scene on its own is brilliant in its depiction of the scatalogical visions of heaven and hell, white kids lost in graveyards, a divided country filled with fear of freedom. One of the fir...st major roles for Jack Nicholson who was buddies with Hopper and Fonda at the time, he plays the southern drunk who follows the two freedom riders on their increasingly ominous journey into unchartered territory. Reflecting very much the loose styles, and impressionistic vision of the era, this film in the 21st century is untouchable. Especialy memorable is the statcato editing style, that previews the new scene as a series of flashes just before it cuts to it properly. Baby, I dig it. The final sequence is impossible to forget, and it slams up against the optimisim and empowerment of that era like a ton of Nixons dropped from a B52. Buy it, own it, wether you like it or not, it's a goddam classic. Read more Less

    Very inspiring

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 8, 2000

    For those who are young businessmen and others that bow down to the man, stay away from this movie. If you want to look at a time too soon forgotten and if you are one of the few remaining long- hairs, definately check this out. While the ending wil...l piss you off and make you want to hang a short hair, the movie makes you see thing in a new light. Road trips take on a new meaning. Read more Less
