Member Rating:  
Knightriders may well be the only cycle flick ever to be played out in suits of armor. A hardcase motorcycle gang led by Ed Harris has found itself a neat money-making gimmick. Dressed as the knights of the round table, the cyclists pick up a few bucks at local "renaissance" fairs, selling handicrafts made by the more talented members of the gang. Harris' great rival is Tom Savini, who has his own band of "black knights." Keep an eye out for a chucklesome unbilled bit by novelist Stephen King. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    Not a pollished or refined film, but a decent story, echoing the tragedy of Camelot within the modern (then 70-80's) society. I liked the idea, thought the majority of the story was well done as a 'rough' re-interpertation of chivalry. The motorcycle 'ren-faire' was fun to watch, and the cameo by the Steven and Tabitha King was humorous as well.

    Give it a chance. Bike-knights? It may sound crazy but the result is amazing. Good story, great cast and plenty of action without any current-sucking-tricks/fakes. I'm not a big fan of Romero's zombie art, actually I hate it. But he scored with this lovely-lost-little classic.
