Is this a combo of MAD MAX and Rambo, even a bad one, that I missed?

NO ~ I went to the movie site IMBD and one reviewer said "What biker film is rated PG13"!

Movies like this always confused me. Car vs. motorcycle, How does the cycle ever win! 😖 :shut: :coolsmile:

I watched this years ago..it's in the same vein as Billy Jack (which I actually enjoy quite a bit), or perhaps the Billy Jack prequel of Born Losers. It's actually reasonably good.

Thanks for that first-hand feedback, Alassirana!

@Tyrusguy. As a long time motorcycle rider, the cycle has some advantages in running away. Two main ones are tight clearances and goat trails.We never see these simple facts in the movies though.

I do know one guy who evaded the cops by hiding his cycle in a slough. NOT planned. It was night and he lost control on a curve. 😊

@ BMN, For running away yeah. But for fighting it out I'll take the car! :coolsmile:
