Ratings and reviews

Classic movie from 1969, a must see movie if you're the least bit interested in the life and freedom of a biker. Fonda, Hopper & Nicholson, what else can I say?

The Rough Rider ought to be put the back in the movie. This used to lead into the parade scene and the 1 second shot showed the last living Rough Rider riding in the back seat of a Plymouth Fury III convertible driven by Will Luebbert

That's why they call it "CRANK". I long for the days of the ole dirty white biker dope....but for now I'll settle for nick, nick, nick, Ghanga. Movie is a view into the turbulent 60's, hippies, LSD, weed, speed, rednecks and whiskey.....nick, nick, nick....engine!
