what is everyones favorite biker film?
mine is stone. an australian film that featured loads of immaculate and custom painted Z1000's and Z900's love those bikes. actually the film was pretty crap but then the bikes made up for it.
running cool is a quite good film too but a bit too much hippy nonsense for my tastes.

I got a copy of Torque which is a bit far fetched in places but is fairly entertaining. I've also seen another film but cant recall the title about 3 guys who are into doing tricks on the road and win bikes by racing others it has the chap who plays Morpheus from the Matrix in it

Torque was bloody awful !! Duelling with bikes front wheels - lol.
I liked On Any Sunday, Steve McQueen was a biker anyway so he did most of the stunts and genuinely acted the part of a bike racer well.
Haven't really seen any others.

Easy Rider, no doubt...
Although an 80's video called 'Stone Cold' was good, film crap, but lots of customed Harley/chops etc

Torque and Biker boyz are the sittest so called bike films ever made!!!! only thing that i can think of is mad max with those idiots on the old bikes, still better than jumping from train to train on a bike!!!

Torque was a load of rubbish! Has anyone seen the old 70's film ( i think it is, might be 60's) Psychomania? About a biker gang, crap really but dead funny, if you'll excuse the pun!! Comes up on tv once in a while, usually early hours of the morning. No wonder!!

Not really a bike/biker film but has the best bike scene of any film. Its gotta be the Great Escape. Wot a jump on that triumph (and yes I know it wasn't Steve that did it!).
Just to show of, Steve Mcqueen is my nans cousin, don't know what that makes me to himt tho?
What about Black Rain with all Yakuza type nasty men on GSX1100's, katana's and the like!

in my humble opinion(very humble lol)the best bike films have to be easy rider ,on any sunday and the road racers .easy rider was a classic (if only fictonal)on any sunday shows real people doin wot they like best RIDIN BIKES .road racers was early documentary about THE ARMOY ARMADA ,alias joey dunlop, mervyn robinson .(joeys brother in law )and frank kennedy ,the last two paying the ultimate price doing what they loved best .aint seen any other films to come anywere near to these 3 classics

surprised no one has mentioned my film #2, The Wild One, a 50's movie starring the then, ultra-cool marlon brando....proof that americans/the world used to ride real bikes....if u ever watch it, all u will see are brit bikes, yes brits did make the fastest, best handling and slickest machines in the world once, and thanks to john bloor, are getting there once again

ok so no-one exceot me liked torque or biker boyz, what about quadrophenia now thats a cult film with a semi bike theme the best part being jimmy riding his scooter off the cliff at Beachy Head. Best place for a lambretta i think especially wiv all them mirrors. sorry to any mod or modets but you have to be vain with that many mirrors.
The worst film i reckon has to be ghost rider now that is boring.
