Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

mponce29 Oooh... Leslie Nielsen is trying to sabotage Evel's bike. Will Lauren Hutton discover the plot in time?And can Evel convince his mechanic to give up the bottle, and be a good father to the son he has heretofore ignored?Will Evel and Lauren give up their adversarial flirting and get together?DOES ANYBODY CARE?!?!I am a fan of bad, cheesy movies. And even this one had me snoozing. Although I do give it thumbs up on the marvelous transition from the final jump to the closing credits.

Movie-Robot Daredevil Evel Kneivel (just say his name out loud - ridiculous) stars as himself. The movie seems to portray Kneivel as some sort of wheelie-popping Christ figure.You can't see it enough to fathom how truly bizarre it is. Kneivel says he's never taken a drug in his life, which is good so there was plenty enough to go around for the writer, the director and love interest Lauren Hutton.And Kneivel's not even the weirdest guy in the movie! That honor goes to poor old Gene Kelly who plays Evel's sad excuse for a mechanic. His performance is quite possibly the worst captured on film; Kelly was playing this either as senile or retarded, though I suppose it doesn't matter which. It's rough when the most convincing actor in the film is from Frank Gifford.

Crupiea The strangest part about this movie is the apparent idea that all kids loved Evel Kneivel. I was 15 when this came out and considered myself somewhat knowledgeble about the exploits of Evel but in our household we pretty much thought he was stupid. It was neat to do those jumps but I like to apply the figure skating rule of if you dont hit the landing the jumps does not count. I could shoot myself out of a trebuchet and flop on the ground but is that really a properly executed jump? Sure, it would be entertaining but I dont think it will heal my polio or reunite the drunkard Gene Kelly and his son. Why would Evel trust that drunken idiot with his motorcycles? isnt there some other task he could do that would not involve safety issues? This is a great movie though and is a good reminder of the whole AMF/Harley era. It reminds me of the old God Bless America ride at Disneyland. Same cheesiness but still fun.

billymac72 I LOVE this movie!! Ok, it is a terrible, terrible film, but that's what makes it so great! Back in high school, I can't begin to tell you how many beers my buddies & I downed whilst laughing our tails off at this movie. We would rewind scenes so many times that even years later, when we reunite, we can still recite some of these scenes verbatim. It's a classic. First of all, just consider this plot: a mob boss, played straight by Leslie Nielson of all people, wants to assassinate good ol' Evel in Mexico so he can use his stunt trucks to smuggle drugs back to the U.S., because no one is going to stop a "funeral procession for a hero." Try to follow THAT logic!! Another priceless moment comes when Evel delivers an anti-drug speech warning kids that if they use dope - just like race car drivers who use nitro in their cars - they too, will "blow all to hell!" (well, at least after "5 or 10 years" by his estimation anyway). I've never seen Gene Kelly looking so disgruntled and tired, and what would be complete without a way-over-the-top Red Buttons (classic line delivered to a groggy Evel: "What is this, Judgement Day!?). Where's Charro when you need her? And let's not forget that kid at the orphanage who literally throws his crutches to the floor and says, I kid you not, "you're the reason Evel! You're the reason I'm walkin'!" Evel Knievel: miracle man...ordained healer. And then of course there's that catchy theme song. I can't figure out why it was never a hit.
