"Bikers are typically portrayed on film as dangerous outlaws. But they have also been portrayed as cool, philosophical thinkers and confused, sensitive hunks." "After Brando's romanticized The Wild One in 1954, American-International handled the earliest portrayals, with Motorcycle Gang (1957) and Dragstrip Riot (1958), and then satirized them in the beach movies that were popular in the sixties.".
"By the time of Easy Rider in 1969, biker films were known for their shock value, and when they lost their shock value, they ran out of road." "This filmography covers 58 biker films at length, and provides a synopsis, an analysis by the author, and cast and production credits for each film. Eighty-eight photos, a Chronology of Films and an Index complete the work."--BOOK JACKET.
