He finds it hard to stay on bike when it lands but seems unhurt. The movie had two options for endings, one script was he got killed ! -- Last edit: 2024-04-15 22:57:22

jcb ◊ 2024-04-16 15:30	This film is better than I thought it would be. I was a biker in 81 but this film passed me by totally. Considering Eddie Kidd is not an actor he does not make a bad job of the lead character. From the start it is obvious he is a natural on two wheels. There are some amazing stunts with very little Health and Safety. In the two big jumps Eddie loses control on landing. Full film on You Tube ignore opening titles fuzziness , most is good cinematography. Good New Wave / Punk soundtrack. -- Last edit: 2024-04-16 15:35:48
humungus ◊ 2024-04-16 16:08	Here's one you missed:
jcb ◊ 2024-04-16 19:04	His alarm clock 😁 Also there was a lot of Hot Rods setting Leysdown on Sea alight.
jcb ◊ 2024-04-19 21:53	The Hot Rods which are rather good for 1980 England. -- Last edit: 2024-04-19 22:20:51
the sad biker ◊ 2024-04-19 22:09	jcb wrote The Hot Rods which are rather good for early 1980 England. Looks like someon tarted up the Mayor's limo off Trumpton.
humungus ◊ 2026-06-14 14:34	This one didn't look like it needed an upgrade (I mean, it does, in terms of properly mastered HD, because it looks like a blow-up of some low-res tape), but a closer look revealed several pics were actually cropped and those that weren't had some sort of an artefact on top, so I went and replaced the lot as well as added timestamps. I decided to add pages for the hot rods (they're not just there, as it were, and they're part of the same scene/parade as the previously listed Steyr) and a couple of other things. bonus wagon: bonus blurry rear ends: bonus 1975 Ford Granada XL 2000 by plate LYK 666P there in the back: bonus menagerie x2: > bonus unlisted bike from the exhibition with most of the other bikes:
dsl ◊ 2026-06-14 14:59	Bonus wagon is 1969-70 Cortina Mk2 estate, probably Super. Bonus rear ends are Datsun 120Y Coupe, Mk2 Maxi, and yet another Granada Mk2.
