Member Rating:  
George Hamilton produced and stars in this appealing bio-pic about real-life stunt daredevil Evel Knievel. Knievel's famous motorcycle stunts and early life are remembered in flashback by the performer in the moments before a big jump. The cast includes familiar drive-in movie faces like Vic Tayback, Sue Lyon, Cheryl Rainbeaux Smith, and Dub Taylor, and much of it was filmed on location in Knievel's hometown of Butte, Montana. Though Hamilton is quite good in the lead, most fans prefer the real thing -- Knievel portraying himself in the later Viva Knievel! (1978). ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

    I just saw this for the first time and I was surprised. Its a pretty good movie. It has the showman style of the 70's. If you like motorcycles and/or Evel then its an awesome film! Its worth watching just to see the last big jump scene with the spectacular 70's funk music and stunned spectators. I wasn't born when this movie was made but I liked it!

    Why put a movie on DVD when the theatrical print you're using as source material is worse than one from an old-time third-run 50-cent movie house? With numerous streaks and film scratches, entire lines of dialogue gouged out and an overall washed-out look, this is the worst film-to-DVD release I've ever seen. The folks at Alpha Video should be ashamed.
