"Freebird" motorcycle movie, any good?

Synopsis
Freebird is an independent British comedy that uses the world of
motorcycles and rock music as its backdrop.

I enjoyed Torque http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0329691/ which is the
only other motorcycle starring film I've seen, but most disliked it.
Suprised nobody mentioned this film before on the newsgroup.

 

Tagline: A Rock and Roll Road Movie Comedy set in Wales


"Sounds ghastly"

 

I think Torque has been discussed in the past, mostly with negative results.

There are only four good motorcycling movies :
Easy Rider, I bought a vampire motorcycle, BloodRunners and Silver Dream
Racer.

hth.

 

Hi,

Bought the movie a while back. It's worth a laugh but definitely
bargain bin DVD. Not that much actual motorcycling in it though. The
plot revolves around marijuana and a revenge biker fight between
Londoner's (Superbikes) and the Welsh (cruisers), and you don't get to
see much of that either.

 

I dunno, I quite enjoyed The World's Fastest Indian, which I'd also
class as a motorcycling movie.

 

Forgotten I'd seen that, great film. Having a look at the others on
youtube.

 

I really quite enjoyed Wild Hogs in a comical way. It just reminded me of a
few of my friends who take them selves a bit to seriously.

 

Girl On A Motorbike. Maybe a bit before your time.

 

Heh, about 4 years before I was born !

 

Was it the Wales part that gave it away then?

 

Just find it and see it.
YKIMS.

 

Seconded. A pile of shite of the utmost shiteness.

 

Freebird has its moments but it's ultimately shite. Not as shite as Wild
Hogs though. I have a great many DVDs and this is one which I actually gave
away on Freecycle as there was no chance whatsoever I would watch it again.

 

Oh I dunno. What about "No Limits" and for a laugh (or mild snigger) what
about "Wild Hogs" ?

<fence mode=on>

I liked it.

</fm>

 

Seen it, it was standard brain out hollywood.

not terrible but nothing special.

 

Oh, it was inoffensive enough but in the same way candy floss is - all full
of **** all but hype and air. And pink sugar probably, but still SOTUS.

Um... I can't sleep, ok?

 

I said it has its moments

What it's like is Cheech and Chong on bikes, with added taffs. Although
listening to spoken Taff is entertaining in itself when you hear the English
words standing out like Johnny Vegas at an anorexic's tea party. Pobol Y
Cym, anyone?
