I was watching the latest DVD addition to the film library, "The Punisher" with Dolph Lundgren, when the idea came to mind for this little quiz.
Can you name any movies/TV shows that had motorcycles in them? They didn't have to be in a supporting role, just in the movie.
To get started off, here's a few that come to mind:
-The Great Escape
-The Worlds Fastest Indian
-Race of The Power Bikes
-Hells Angels 69
-Hells Angels on Wheels
-Magnum Force (Dirty Harry movie)
-On Any Sunday
-Any of The Terminator movies
-Lawrence of Arabia
-Waking Ned Devine
-No Limit
-A couple of the Jason Bourne movies
-The Leather Boys
Now, over to you for some mental gymnastics to see what you can come up with, and they can't be repeated OK??
A few off the top of my head (some had different titles in the US):
ReplyDeletePsychomania (US: Death Wheelers)
Girl on a Motorcyce (US: Naked Under Leather)
Roustabout
Eat the Peach
I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle
Silver Dream Racer
Purple Rain
Easy Rider
The Motorcycle Diaries
The Wild One
Electraglide in Blue
Quadrophenia
Chopper Chicks in Zombietown (yes, really!)
That'll do for today, I'll probably remember more tomorrow.
You asked for it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LZnOTz5OQU
