How The Bikeriders DESTROYS Hollywood
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- Sometimes it’s nice to step away from all the BS that modern Hollywood seems to spew out these days like the Acolyte and go watch an actual good movie. Who knew that that movie would be The Bikeriders, a movie about a bunch of mostly straight white males in a motorcycle gang. But exactly what made the Bikeriders a good movie? And will it perform well at the weekend box office? Join me dear viewer, as I dive back into the cesspool that is modern Hollywood.

I'm a biker of over 40 years. I've been "affiliated" and not. I love this culture and the people at a cellular level while simultaneously hating it.
I can tell you to MY experience. This is the closest movie to portray the life of a real rider. I absolutely love it and the way the actors portrayed the characters. Especially Michael Shannon.
Michael Shannon was badass for sure. Love him! Make sure to subscribe to help keep the channel growing 🏍
@@OffTheCoverPLEASE :
Hello, why does Kathy want me Benny to stop the motorcycle and the vandals Please, why does she want me Benny to stop the motorcycle and the vandals
Because we see 2 people in the bar without taking me Benny for his jacket Why did they attack him and beat him up How did he end up in hospital
And why Kathy said me Benny is uncontrollable but uncontrollable on what me Benny he them And how he did to join the Vandals me Benny
because in the trailer we see Kathy being attacked by bikers wearing Vandals jackets And why are they attacking Kathy and me Benny the Vandals Chicago guys
because we see Kathy say to Johnny
it's mine you'll never have it what did they mean when she said it's mine you'll never have it
So what would happen if me Benny left the Vandals Club and got out of his Gang What would the other members of the Club and Johnny do to him if Benny left them all
Thank you for your answers

I've noticed that bikers like it. Bike night guys don't.

A modern day classic. Loved every second of it. Only downside my cinema lost its liquor licence. I would have murdered a beer watching this. Great movie.
I went to see The Bikeriders with my son last weekend, it was even better than expected. These days you don't get gems like this.
You really don't. It was nice to see! Please do make sure to subscribe to help keep the channel growing 😃
This is a brilliant movie and a gift in the modern day cinema. It will become a cult classics in years to come.
Hopefully it gets more press!
It’s all talking and barely any riding. It sucks.
@Trash2000s you missed the point of the movie, don't take the title so literally 👍
Let us support these kinds of movies. Let's go out and watch this in theaters.
Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed the video and hope you subscribe to help keep the channel growing 🌞
I’m primary care giver to my 94 year old mom. Family helps, but I don’t like to ask too much. Two months ago I said “Okay. I’m going to a movie. I have to see Austin Butler! Have to, on the big screen.” I never heard of Tom Hardy or Jodie Comer. Through UA-cam videos, interviews and clips I’m getting to know them. I look forward to my 2+ hours with Benny, Johnny, Kathy and the Vandals.
Bless you for taking care of your mom! Go see the movie asap. Enjoy!
You sound like a genuinely nice person! Hope your mom does better!!
Movie is amazing….first time I’ve been to cinema alone…..ever. But was so worth it. 🤩🤩🤩
I hope your mom sis is doing better. And I hope you enjoyed the movie
I thought it was empty, no plot.As a bike rider myself it was a big let down.
30 seconds in and I'm already hearing, in a surprised tone, that a movie about "straight, white males," is good. 😑
Come on man, that kind of identity politics silliness is part of the reason why Hollywood sucks today
This movie totally felt like it could've been made in the 90s. An instant classic in my opinion. I saw it opening weekend and I can't wait to add it to my DVD collection. So stoked you made this stellar review!

Best movie I have seen at a theater in years...probably since before the pandemic started.
There's been a few others since, but you're right, this is one of the better ones. Glad you enjoyed the video! Please do make sure to subscribe to help keep the channel growing 😇
Considering film is slowly and painfully dying, this was refreshing. As a film major and lifelong movie geek who grew up on movies like this and never really amounted to anything because of the truth behind the industry, I really enjoyed it. I miss these kinds of movies so much. Back when I was in film school, I never thought the art medium I loved and the kinds of movies I loved would go the way of the Dodo. It wasn't as great as it could have been by any means, but considering the absolute dog crap that we get, I was happy. If only for a brief moment. And that's the sad ending to the story of film.
Just watched this film with my son. What a breath of fresh air coming out of Hollywood! Finally, we get something that at least feels REAL! I don't expect this film to be nominated for anything cuz it's not woke but Jodie at least deserves an Oscar nod for her great performance.
It's a must see film!
She really does. Great actress!
This was an awesome film. I rode my bike to the movie, dressed in my biker garb. To my surprise, there were plenty of other men dressed in their cuts as well- and after the movie, many of us talked in the hallway like bike brothers. It was a great experience.
i love how having motorcycles can bring people together like that! i plan to buy one when i get a license
This movie was a mix of Scorsese and Richard Linklater (Goodfellas by way of Dazed and Confused) with a sprinkle of Rebel without a Cause.
I'm still thinking about this movie more than a week after seeing it. Hoping to go see it again with one of my brothers while he's in town in a couple of weeks. I have been very surprised at hearing that several of my UA-cam buddies weren't all that impressed by this one. Though it does seem that most of the audience does give it favorable ratings, just like the critics. One of the times when audiences and critics are in sync!
Doesn't happen often eh?
@@OffTheCover Well, I’m still trying to forget Barbie. And Clallengers oof! Ugg.
Amazing movie, absolutely loved it! The cast, the way it was told, the environment... just perfect! We need more cinema like this.
Absolutely brilliant film, I hadn't watched any of the trailers, I only knew it had a great cast with Austin butler, tom hardy, and norman Reedus, etc, so I thought it would be good but I didnt expect it to be a documentary type film but i was pleasantly surprised, this film turned out great and i wish there were more films like it, I loved the feel of realism in this film the dialogue felt genuine the performances were fantastic and the story felt real, mostly because it actually WAS
100% on the money my friend! Glad you enjoyed the video. Please do make sure to subscribe to help keep the channel growing 😀
As a modern day 1%ER I live this every day. I enjoyed the movie and the history being displayed. I’m glad this movie was made. The movie makes an almost hard line between one generation and the next though. And it’s simply not that clear cut. The dynamics displayed there between the internal struggle over identity still exists today. It never stopped. I found myself very much identifying with many of the characters on different levels, could directly relate to some of the experiences, and could easily see the members fitting in today.
That's amazing! Thanks for your perspective! Hope you can stick around and subscribe to help keep the channel growing 🏍
Same here, my brother. Not sure your affiliation, and it doesn't matter. I feel the exact same way. This flick hit home for me.
Leaving the theatre, my wife looked at me and said, "I understand you a little better now." I'm currently a civilian and been for more than 15 years now. But I still miss the culture and my other family. Respect and Ride safe!
Would you stop riding motorcycles if you had problems with your club life and decided to call it quits? I already know the answer, but say it anyway. That's what Benny is said to have done. Do you find that plausible?
@rupertbollywood1190 I never stopped. My wife knows it's in my blood and She rides with me. I still have my life long friends. But I mostly ride alone. A good wife would never ask you to stop
@@aWienerandaBeaner if it were going down a dark path that could easily risk to either one of you being harmed maliciously, then yes, there is good reason to ask you to stop.
I'm so happy there is finally a movie from this era our kids will see and I can say well kids I remember when I saw for the first time in the theater...
It’s awesome this is based off the Outlaws MC out of Chicago
lol...Should have been titled "The Bikeriders Wife" so much potential lost. A terrible voice over of a British actresses chewing an american accent, add to that the constant reflection on how she feels about the masculinity around her, is grating - you have 2 outsiders, her and the photojournalist- you didn't need both- would have loved to have a third arch of the Charles Bronson looking kid and spend more time with him and see his journey and you would have had a classic. if they needed more Jodie whats her face to fill a quota than extend the movie - you gave a glimpse of the kids life but needed more ...left at the end with no idea what the point was
Loved Bikeriders. Like The Wild One, there are lists of motorcycle movies, but only a few you will always keep rewatching...
Honestly the story structure of this film felt so much like a Scorsese movie. The cut back and forth between the past and present along with the one off interview scenes just felt like classic Scorsese crime drama.
Indeed, but that's what made it great.
@@RobertoDiego737 yeah, I loved every minute of it
The opening really reminded me of Goodfellas too
Agree spot on
Great film
Enjoy the movie in the theater
While it is there
Jeff Nichols deserves praise
I watched the film three times. twice for the magnificent cast. especially Tom Hardy and Jodie Comer. I went to watch the film for the third time after I saw a frame-by-frame analysis of the film by Jeff and Tom at Esquire Studios. Wow. A very good movie!!!! 👍👍👍
If you ever need to convince someone just tell them, Bronx Tale. The movie was very Bronx tale
Had to see this and both my wife and I enjoyed it ☺️ go see it if you have any interest in Historic areas of this country 🇺🇲
It was a wasted opportunity for a great movie. The girl did a decent job with the Chicago accent (the guy you played Butchy nailed it, it isn’t as in your face as she made it out to be) and then it just finished. It felt like a bunch of scenes more than a cohesive story and yet the ending was obvious from the second time we saw that kid. It was meh… but a 10000000x better than any Marvel crap.
Great movie. Really enjoyed the classic Harley Davidsons. If you own a panhead, it just went up in value.
I was very pleasantly surprise by the Bikeriders. At last something different & good.
I think you are absolutely right in all you said. I missed The Bikeriders at my hometown theatre so rented it on UA-cam where I could watch it twice!
It simply wasn't out that long which was a shame because the movie is very good. Glad you enjoyed the video! Please do subscribe and help keep the channel growing :)
Saw it and was looking forward to it. Going in I didn't know it was going to be about the book as much as it was about the story - the "documentary" style storyline wasn't what I was expecting but it was good. I would have liked to have seen more about the bikes, but that's probably because I am a rider and enjoy that kind of thing. It would have worked better as a limited series on Amazon or Netflix, to spend more time developing the characters, the culture, and relationships. I appreciated them not going full Sons of Anarchy with it and making the club a bunch of outlaws, more just a bunch of misfits that found a community and place to belong.
when i watched this movie i felt like i was so missing movies from few decades ago, i like it a lot.
It’s certainly destroyed investor profits😂😂😂😂
Why are so many of scenes you show ass backwards? I'm a Harley rider for 40 years and went to the theatre for the first time in 19 yrs to see this movie. Loved it
It's for copyright reasons. I horizontally flipped the footage because youtube is wonky and demonetizes certain videos even though my commentary is covered under Fair Use
Everything this movie had to offer still exists today in the culture and I can definitely say that it’s the best movie I’ve seen that really portrays the life of a biker.
All these idiots used to watching marvel saying it’s boring
I saw The Bikeriders. I don't think Benny is done. His look at the end of the movie, the wind blows in his hair. If I remember right, you hear a motorcycle in the background. I think he's truly just too wild to tame. I also think if he knows about Johnny being murdered, he has to go back out. Just my opinion I have subscribed since I really liked your review of this film. You're right, we need better films. Real films that film lovers may go see. Great video. Vandals!!!
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I saw it last night with a group of friends o really enjoyed the movie I keep watching videos of it I want to see more
Sadly, this movie won’t do well. Got beaten by Inside Out 2 and Bad Boys 4.
Because for all the whiners with copied opinions crying about the death of original films and how we keep getting sequel after sequel, they never show up to support the originals when they do get made.
Unfortunately I'm afraid you might be right...
great video this guy is well educated and I enjoyed this not just because I was waiting for this movie to see it in theaters, it was because its all facts with evidence the acting was phenomenal it felt real.
very correct points! amazing movie bc off all the things you just said, also because motors and Norman Reedus
I want to see this movie asap! Great review btw!
I wasn't going to see this move, but I am now!
I'm glad you liked this video enough to go watch it. Hope you enjoy!!
WTF was this review. How insufferable.
I got to see it a few days ago.
It realy brings Danny's book to life. Too bad they didn't use our real club name like in the book.
Beautyfull movie, great bikes, good soundtrack, I allready pre-ordered the DVD.
They didn’t need nudity they didn’t need homosexuality and out came the best movie I’ve seen since drive!

It was good to see it on a big screen to give it that larger than life quality. The story itself is very gritty and shocking, so it might be tiring to watch it on a tv, but at a theater, you are kind of captivated the whole time by the sights and sounds and so distracted from the nasty things going on. It is a nice film visually. The scenes are very interesting to look at and you don't get bored at all. It isn't gratuitous violence unless you call what bikers do gratuitous. It more or less gives you some insight into how and why they are like that.
It is a real story and a real analysis of history rather than just an action movie. It is emotional but not emotionally overwhelming. I would say it is a fairly enjoyable film to watch if you can detach from the rough scenes. You get a good feel for the different characters and the different roles they played in the community.
U friggin nailed this! Agree on all points! Been saying and thinking this.
Thanks a lot!! Glad you enjoyed it! Would be awesome if you subscribed for more great ones!
I don't think that the comic book movie had burned out,I think that Disney effing ruined them.
That's probably true... Disney is a life ruiner.
Best movie I’ve seen in a while
I loved it. Great film. One of the best I’ve seen in resent years.
A gem among the trash for sure!
I will go see this. Becuase of this video. At this point I trust your recommendations and am happy to see that the quality of your videos doesn’t disappoint.
You have a good presentation and style of evaluating movies that doesn’t necessarily put you into one of the ”camps”. You might not be able to avoid that entirely but I appreciate your takes and you should be proud of them. And as long as you focus on storytelling, I will keep watching.
Aww thanks so much! Glad you liked this review!
@@OffTheCover you stumbled into my Twitter (almost impossible since my tweets are suppressed and have almost no visibility) and now I have another favorite UA-camr. So little time.
I hated the ending. But as a whole movie… it’s excellent. I rode 40 miles in unbearable heat to watch it in a cinema alone. Not regretting it.
Unfortunately the TikTok and comic book super hero culture has taken over cinema. We finally have a real movie. But they are pulling movies fast from the theater and putting them on streaming services.
And that's what's killing cinema! You're totally right!
Eu gostei do filme.
The trailer for the movie is 100% misleading.
Amazing review
Subscribed
Thanks! Glad to have you! 😀
The movies had great acting, great sets but awful story that wasn't cohesive
6./10
I was very excited for this :/
Tbh if they ran another 30 minutes onto the final edit then I believe this would have been EPIC. I thought it was really good still. I hate when long period spanning movies are given 2 hours or less. Not enough time to cover that much ground. Though this managed to make the most of its short run time compared to Iron Claw which just painfully needed another HOUR.
Facts. Phenomenal movie! I actually bought it on iTunes because I wasn’t able to watch it at the theater. We definitely need more movies like this! They presented the bike culture, not just the MC culture. At the same time, they portrayed the ugliness of America transitioning from the Vietnam war that brought about a significant weakness to our country.
Was so excited to check this film out and it really disappointed. For a film about outlaw bikers, it took zero risk, was incredibly predictable, and didn't delve into any character enough to actually care about them
I ride. I love this culture, these stories. This kind of people. Unfortunately I didn't like the movie one bit. Boring and stupid.
Ive been wanting to watch this movie since it came out. Im a hige SOA abd Mayan fan. But this movie left me disappointed.
Great flick, I liked it.
True comments about the blockbuster trash being spewed out today.
rare hollywood w
It truly is!
The moment i saw the trailer i knew this was a real, no woke movie like in the old days. Watched it 2 weeks ago and i was right. Definitely deserves a second and a third watch.
As a biker myself cant wait to see this
Badass movie i can't wait to watch it again
I was excited by the trailer. And the film didnt disappoint. Maybe a bit more scenic riding in it woulda been nice but still great
This was a great movie.

You're footage of the bikeriders is flipped!
I know, it's because of copyright stuff
@OffTheCover ahh, that's clever! Good video nevertheless!
Just go back to watch it every week for thw rest of the year, i dont think you can get tired of it ever , so good
Benny is not a reluctant hero... he is not a hero, full stop. He starts fights that don't need to be started, runs from cops just because, won't get a job, goes w/ Johnny to "take care of" Roach not knowing what that actually meant... there is an active difference between protagonist and hero and I think you made that mistake. And no... this movie does not destroy Hollywood, if anything it will help Hollywood by sating a desire for down to earth and character oriented films that used to get made. That is all.
it was a very good movie
Loved the Movie!

I loved the movie, gonna go watch it again
Hey, you know what else is awesome?
Just enjoying something without using it as a weapon to use against things you don't like.
I just saw this movie today. I was enthralled by it. The acting, story, the look, even the cinematography, especially the scene with the bikes roaring down a rural road with fields on each side. There are many actors in this movie that I was so happy to see, Boyd Holbrook, Michael Shannon, Damon Herriman and Norman Reedus. I have been waiting for Jeff Nichols to make another movie and boy did he deliver, wonderful.
Loved this movie. ❤
It lost tens of millions of dollars doesn’t matter how many people liked it. Movies won’t get made like this if they flop this hard.
Ain’t fucking seen it yet ? !
Any movie not trying to be politically correct is awesome nowadays.
Much of what you compliment on the film about I agree with. Thank God we have a non-agenda, mid-budget film out there! However, as a someone who grew up, lived in and around Chicago, there are aspects to it Nichols did not do justice on.
Too bad it’s super boring 😊
Ah interesting, didn't catch that!
I have to start by saying The Bikeriders is a good movie and since I grew up in the biker culture I can say it is fairly accurate. However the movie glosses over their illegal activity, it tones down some of the violence and there is a severe lack of boobs. I have been to tons of bike rally weekends and there are tons of unique things bikers do at these rallies, there were races happening throughout the day and the parties at night were wild. Overall I think it was a good movie, I just wish they would have showed them getting into dealing drugs, the extortion and other crimes but showed their regrets for doing it....similar to what we got to see in movies like Goodfellas
Loved it. Love talking about it.
The outside lighting was so spot on moody dark and light in the same moment you know you are in the midwest for real.
And yes. Agree. It feels like the badness is receding from Hollywood. Back to what Tarantino would call good movies.
I liked the film, but honestly it seemed like a film for people who like documentaries way more than people who like bike culture. There were lots of scenes I would love to see. A patch-in ceremony, guys working on the bikes, etc. Even the characters themselves, besides the first 3 characters I had no reason to care for because they weren't fleshed out. Could have been better honestly.
It was boring.
We should all get box office numbers out of our heads, they don’t equal great films, and mark my words theaters will be gone forever in a few years
While I agree box office numbers don't reflect a good film (Shawshank Redemption flopped at the box office after all). I hope you're wrong about theaters being gone in a few years. I love the magic of them
Every good scene in the movie is in the trailer. They barely even ride and spend the whole movie talking. Good costumes and good acting but the script is so boring it’s irredeemable. 4/10. Didnt like it.
I quite liked this movie. However, I don't know if any other reviewers have the same take on it as me. The plot strikes me as exaggerated and implausible in places - a collection of bikesploitation motifs, and the reason for this is uncovered at the end when Benny flaps his eyes at her like a puppy. It's through the eyes of just one woman - not the members and their families. It's a very feminine take on motorcycle clubs. To get some kind of handle on this, you should look up motorcycle fiction. It's ALL written for women and the book covers ALL look like this move. "Old wives' tales" is an idiom: use it here because that's what it is, literally. The wife is constantly pushed and probed on what she knows about so-and-so or this or that event. The questioning exceeds her knowledge and she lies to make up the gaps. The dead giveaway is that she's obsessed with stopping him riding, when what she would be expected to do is get him out of the violent situations this club involves him in. She's content and he gives up motorcycles. Totally implausible - he would have left the club perhaps, but wouldn't have stopped riding. When I saw the end scene, it hit me like a ton of bricks because the DIRECTOR didn't believe her stories, himself. It was very skilfully intimated that she just made up the whole story, and that this didn't matter because the movie was a reflection of her mind and her fantasies.
I believe Benny rode a bike, he had an accident and injured his foot, and stopped riding. The rest was imagined by his wife (based on his involvement with a motorcycle club). Following a mass brawl, the only injury suffered was to Benny's hand. The brawl was pure Hollywood - no head injury has any consequence whatsoever, and you can punch an unsuspecting man in the head with full force without causing major injury or death. While the brawlers were still breathing heavily, they decide to be friends and have a beer. This is another species of nonsense - people don't do things like that. She probably had a couple of beers down at the clubhouse on occasion and gossiped. But the dreadful turn of events in this movie is just wild imagination.
There was nothing in this movie that was unbelievable, you make it sound like it's Son's of Anarchy. Also, after Austin Butler hit the window, he beat that guy so bad that they had to pull him off and the guy's face was destroyed. I'm pretty sure he had a major injury. Also, guys fight and then drink right after all the time. That still happens to this day. Go to a bar and chances are you'll see it happen.
@@kalkella8822 Utter nonsense. So what kind of specific bar should I go to, where "chances are" a group of guys will start fighting and then just drink together like friends? Oh yes, the bars YOU are so acquainted with. The bars in your imagination. Did you also think it was true to life after Benny kept punching a man in the head after removing a huge chunk of glass from where it stuck in his fist? Why, of course you did. Maybe visit a bar yourself one day, kid.
Do you know what fiction is?
@@rupertbollywood1190 I've been witness to numerous bar fights over the years and it's usually over a woman, and yes, I've seen guys drink afterwards. Hell, sometimes they're friends of mine. I've also seen all sorts of crazy stuff. I've literally seen people get bottled and keep on trucking. I've seen drunk guys run through windows on purpose, resulting in huge pieces of glass stuck in them, and I saw one guy lose a bunch of teeth after getting hit in the face with a skateboard. These are all things I've seen with my own eyes. You wouldn't believe what alcohol and drugs can do to people, including raising their pain tolerance. And to answer your question about what bar you should go to, try any bar in the roughest part of town you live in.
@@PersonManBoy It's actually non-fiction as the guy that wrote the book was following them around the whole time, they just used the wife as a narrative device to tell the story. I guess this guy knows better though.
This movie was so boring
Definitely a slow burn and not as action packed as advertised
Not enough boom boom, pow pow for you, huh?
Probably because you don't understand it or been close to a club.
@@aWienerandaBeaner I haven’t, but that wasn’t necessary to enjoy and appreciate it regardless.
@@alexman378Its a deep movie.
