They are called Knightriders. You'd think this would

They are called Knightriders. You'd think this would be taking place in the Middle Ages full of knights in armor, horses, renaissance fairs, robes, and kings and queens. Well the gist is that you see that but it's all in modern day. Think of this like modern cosplaying as squires, peasants, etc but with motorcycles. Ed Harris stars as Billy, the leader/king of this whole brigade of bikers. Their reputation and popularity soars but they receive commercial pressure from the authorities to shut them down. Billy wants to preserve his image and dream of playing the part but Gary Lahti as Alan his star performer might outshine him. He also starts making outside offers while Billy contends with arch rival, Tom Savini as Morgan in battle even jousting. There's not too many films that explore people's fascination with re-enactments. But this one is a nice refresher. Who would ve thought the late George A. Romero of the zombie genre was responsible for this? Everyone's worried though about Billy's intentions; if he gets knocked down too much their entire way of life goes away. Billy's also viewing the world as a bit cynical saying the modern world is sick and doesn't apply to him anymore. To him the truth is his family's code. Magic is in the soul, one way of life might actually be better than the one before, change doesn't need to be compromise, it's tough to live by the code, people try and they get tired of it, you can have the most important ideals ever but when you die they die with you, there might be only two fights to live by; truth justice and the American way or trying to stay alive This movie has some good humor, well-performed stunts, and looks at how one society can grow from the mainstream version. This is a nice new different effort from the late Romero. The 2 and a half hour running time may be trying for some but it's still worth a watch. The ending did manage to get some tears out of me.

Overlong but original, captivating cult classic, George Romero’s

Overlong but original, captivating cult classic, George Romero’s only Epic. Ed Harris’s steely magnetism announce his arrival as a major force in Hollywood. This is low budget, grimy, fascinating and the location work here is glorious.
