The quintessential, counter-cultural movie that started the whole genre. Prior to this, movies about motorcyclists were populated with delinquents and outlaws ("The Wild Bunch", "Hellcats", etc.). This also drew young audiences with it's…
A movie claimed to legendary... I was not really impressed. The longest bit of dialogue is half drunk talk about UFOs. The ending was surprising and really raises one's sense of anger and injustice. The imagery is quite good, the music…

Aimless rebellion. Peter Fonda riding on the wealth and notoriety of his father, just like Jane Fonda did. Sleazy Rider would be a better title. A pointless look at the late ‘60’s from drifters.
I was looking forward to this iconic movie I've heard about for years., the one that made Mr fonda such an icon.
Wow! it's empty and idiotic, substanceless and drivel. I would find watching paint dry or grass grow more rewarding. …

Co-written and directed by Dennis Hopper in 1969, this American counterculture road-drama depicts the journey of two easy bikers who travel through the American Southwest and South carrying the proceeds from a cocaine deal.
The film…

I saw this film several years ago. While the shock value was lost in me - call it a generational issue - the effectiveness of it was lost. I thought depicted a certain decade well. I thought the performers were first rate; Jack…

I merely repeat the lyric from the outset of the movie: "GODDAMN THE PUSHER MAN" R.I.P. Sam Shepard, who gives vocal accompaniment to the sequence that has Nicholson flapping his arms (wings) behind Captain America, as they motor down…

Wow. I'm shocked at the negative reviews here. In film school "Easy Rider" was rightly shown as a cinematic "Masterpiece" and remains one of my Top 5 favorite movies of all time. If you don't like "Easy Rider," you're probably missing 95%…

Yep. In my opinion, Easy Rider was nothing but pretentiously shallow, hippie drivel. This dead-end movie proved to me (what I've always suspected) that the stoned-out 60's was an era in pop culture history that, in reality, totally sucked,…

"Easy Rider" is a work of art. It captures the life of two motorcyclists as they search for the "real" America. .You hear the music of the 1960's as Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper cross the United States. This is the era when young people…

A dated road movie that brings back memories of the 60's and 70's, when the culture of hippies and pot smoking prevailed. Apart from that, I didn't get a lot out of it. Sound track is good. But video quality from the disc is poor so the…

I found the documentary that accompanies the DVD to have been very illuminating regarding the production of the movie. There wasn't a lot of dialogue at the beginning, which I found very interesting; nothing had to be forced. Some of the…
Over the years since it's release, I still see the flaws and the genius in some parts of Easy Rider. Hopper has the most fun being himself, Peter Fonda hasn't learned believable acting techniques yet as he finally did 40 years later, but…
