Despite it's cult status Wizer I never rated it either! I thought it was just me.

and I thought it was only me... I am really surprised because you are the first two people who ever agreed with me that Easy Rider was not a good film.

There wasn't a lot of films about back then, comparatively speaking. It probably gained cult status due to the 'message'. You know the Americans... :roll: :wink:

i'd concur with you guys

electraglide in blue (which doesnt feature dennis hopper admittedly) was a lot better if you wanted a bike film

Tis a gash film, but it had a massive impact on the british bike building scene, I've always liked Billy's bike 8)

I never got why he was considered a hollywood great - yet to see a good film that he has been in.

What about Apocalypse Now??? :shock: Okay, he wasn't the star and he didn't make appearance until late on in the film - don't worry, I won't mention the Super Mario Bros. film!!!

I didn't buy his accent in 24, either! :wink:

Still, I was surprised to read over the weekend that he has only just been given his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (March this year).

True Romance?

Should he have got one? I'm not so sure...

Best part of Easy Rider was the music. still it did a lot for the bike scene.
