“I had gotten this idea in 1967 for a new kind of Western. We’d put these
two hipsters on cycles in place of cowboys on horses, and turn ‘em loose in a
lawless modern-day world.”
Peter Fonda on Easy Rider
This book sports the full title The Big Book of Biker Flicks: 40 of
the Best Motorcycle Movies of all Time, it is a large lavishly illustrated guide
to the subject.
Plot synopses, behind-the-scenes takes on the making, and many comparisons
to the Old School Western.
The authors seem to love all these films whether good or bad, but I wager
if you have a fondness for a few biker flicks at all and can see Fonda’s
parallels to the Western you might find this a fun browsing book.
