At a bus station, Pee-wee encounters Simone, who tells him she broke up with Andy and is on her way to Paris. She tells Pee-wee not to give up searching for his bike. Pee-wee calls Dottie at the bike shop and apologizes for his behavior. Andy spots Pee-wee and resumes chasing him. Pee-wee evades Andy at a rodeo by disguising himself as a bull rider. Forced to ride a bull, Pee-wee nearly sets a world record but receives a concussion. He visits a biker bar to make a phone call, and a biker gang threatens to kill him after he accidentally knocks over their motorcycles. He wins them over by dancing to the song "Tequila" in a pair of platform shoes, and they give him a motorcycle for his journey, which he crashes immediately.

Having left Walt Disney Productions and with Frankenweenie receiving positive reviews within film studios, Tim Burton was seeking a full-length film to direct. When Reubens and the producers of Pee-wee's Big Adventure saw Burton's work on Vincent and Frankenweenie, they decided to hire him.[7] Burton felt that he connected with Reubens' personality and the humor of the Pee-wee Herman Show.[8] After hiring Burton, Reubens, Phil Hartman and Michael Varhol revised the script.[9] They read Syd Field's classic book Screenplay and wrote the script according to the book's advice. "It's a 90-minute film, it's a 90-page script," Reubens explained. "On page 30 I lose my bike, on page 60 I find it. It's literally exactly what they said to do in the book...There should be like a MacGuffin kind of a thing, something you're looking for, and I was like, 'Okay, my bike.'"[10]

Parents need to know that characters drink, smoke, and use strong language. There are sexual references and situations. There is some sexual humor and there are references to promiscuity and issues of paternity (with a traumatic discovery), but the relationship of the main characters is loving and devoted. Characters are in peril and there is serious injury and one death. Characters also "hustle" by pretending not to be able to race and betting a lot of money. While most characters are African-American, the gangs are open to all races, and Jaleel's group has white, Hispanic, and Asian members. Characters get tattooed. The bikers engage in racing that is not just very dangerous but also illegal, and at one point some are arrested.

Jaleel (Derek Luke) adores his father Will (Eriq La Salle), the mechanic and best friend of the "King of Cali," Smoke (Laurence Fishburne), the fastest biker in California. When Will is killed while standing on the sidelines of a race, Jaleel is devastated and blames Smoke. He stays away for six months and then shows up, bitterly angry and bursting to take Smoke down. But Jaleel has to earn the right to race Smoke, first by joining a gang and then by winning some races. Each confrontation moves the story forward until the big moment when Jaleel and Smoke, more alike and more connected than they realized, challenge each other to do what Will always said, "Burn rubber, not soul."

Families can talk about how the biker culture is like and not like other cultures they know. What are the rules? How is status determined? How does that compare to groups in school? In sports? Or show business? What do you think about Smoke's decision in the last race? Why does Jaleel say what he does about the helmet?

The Wild One single-handedly popularised the then little-known postwar phenomenon of motorcycle gangs and gave Marlon Brando one of his most iconic performances as Johnny Strabler, the sullen, cop-hating leader of the Black Rebels. It also established a key trope of subsequent motorcycle gang films: bikers terrorising a small town, in the process exposing divisions among the white, middle-class inhabitants.

The Born Losers was the first of four films featuring the character Billy Jack (Tom Laughlin, who starred in and directed all four), an enigmatic, nature-loving, half-Indian, former Green Beret, and protector of the counterculture. A pack of bikers terrorise a small Californian seaside town, raping several young women, then tries to scare the victims off cooperating with police. Billy Jack is drawn into conflict with the gang when he accidentally becomes the protector of one of the girls, Vicky (Elizabeth James).

The FX series Sons of Anarchy ended in 2014 and since then, there haven't been any other notable biker movies or TV shows except for the spinoff Mayans MC. For everyone who enjoyed Sons of Anarchy, the hunger for something similar (that isn't linked to the show) must be at an all-time high.

Those who love motorcycles as a whole might also be yearning for feature films that portray the love for bikes or the madness surrounding them. A number of biker movies have been made over the past few decades. Being aware of their existence is sometimes the challenge, however. Here are the ones that are the most likely entertain fans of Sons of Anarchy.

Run, Angel, Run! follows an outlaw biker (William Smith) who tries to leave his biker gang with his partner (Valerie Starrett) but the gang decides to chase after them and try to force him back into their ranks instead of letting them go freely.

Although Road to Paloma isn't about motorcycle gangs, it does feature a lone biker on a mission and on the run from the law. Jason Momoa stars as Robert Wolf who gets revenge by killing the man who raped and murdered his mother.

Angel Unchained has a somewhat similar plot to Run, Angel, Run! where the main character decides he wants to leave his biker gang. In Angel Unchained the main character, Angel, joins a commune to live a simpler and more peaceful life outside of the gang.

Easy Rider follows two bikers named Billy (Dennis Hopper) and Wyatt (Peter Fonda) as they ride from Los Angeles to New Orleans to find clients and discover more of America. Dennis Hopper also directed the film and brought Jack Nicholson on board. Nicholson plays a free-spirited attorney who the bikers bond with along the way.

Before Easy Rider, Jack Nicholson also starred in this biker film that is actually the most similar to Sons of Anarchy. Nicholson plays a gas station attendant named Poet who impresses the Hells Angels biker gang and ends up being absorbed into their circle.

Brando plays Johnny Strabler, the cop-hating leader of the Black Rebels biker gang. The British Board of Film Classification banned the movie for its glorification of crime and violence. Later on, some local councils in the UK overturned the ban.

The adrenaline of most biker films lacks here but the movie slowly takes you through the little events that shaped the iconic leader's mind. When his bike breaks down, he interacts with people, thus realizing how much they are suffering from poverty and political oppression.

Imagine Rambo: First Blood with biker gang members substituting the cops and fans can get an idea of what this movie is about. Eye Of The Tiger stars a badass Gary Busey, back when his characters didn't die in every movie. He is Buck, a military veteran who comes back home from Vietnam to find that his town is being colonized by a biker gang.

Buck becomes Super Buck and decides to fight the bikers and drive them away. There's no shortage of action, with fistfights and motorcycle chases happening every few minutes. And what would a movie called Eye Of The Tiger be without the classic song by the band Survivor?

Stone Cold is a movie packed with 90s action movie tropes about a cop from Alabama who takes an undercover gig for the FBI. The gig involves infiltrating a murderous biker gang in the south of Mississippi.

In one of Willem Dafoe's first-ever roles, he starred as the motorcycle gang member Vance. The movie sees a group of bikers congregating in a roadside diner on their way to the Daytona race. The diner's management starts getting nervous and a customer even becomes hostile towards them.

The hostility soon leads to an endless string of violence. The movie was filmed on a tight budget and when it came out, it fast became a cult favorite, becoming one of the highest-rated biker films of all time among critics.

EasyRider made a whopping 19 million in its original domestic release, whichwas huge money for an independent picture at the time. Peter Fonda and DennisHopper were old hands at being in biker movies, Fonda having starred in Wild Angels and Hopper having starred asthe leader of the Black Souls MC in TheGlory Stompers. But the post EasyRider films that came out of American International Pictures and other lowbudget film factories focused more on the bad ass image of violent bike clubsthan the idyllic motorcycle touring adventures of Fonda and Hopper.

Other biker movies that tried tocash in on the media blitz of evil biker articles included The Losers, Angel Unchained,and Bury Me An Angel. But none of theslew of cycle cinema could capture the big bucks at the box office nor thestyle and sense of freedom found in EasyRider.

During the late 60s and early 70s, biker films became one of the most popular staples for drive-ins and grindhouses. They were essentially a reinvention of all the Westerns that moviegoers loved made for a new generation. These movies told stories of modern rebels and outlaws who roared across the country on two wheels instead of on the backs of four legged beasts. The films delivered all kinds of thrills while taking viewers on wild adventures with the rambunctious gangs of cycle savages who lived life on their own terms. The anti-hero bikers fought the Fuzz, brawled in bars, drank in droves and got high as hell as they rode the open roads on their hot steel hogs. While the humdrum hippies of the era promoted peace and love, the boisterous bikers seemed to be all about anarchy and mayhem. The roving bands of badass papas and mamas brought their own kind of outrageous counterculture escapism to the silver screen and it was met with much fanfare. To pay tribute to all the Wild Riders of cinema we love, GCDb has picked out 10 of our favorite bigger than life classic biker B-movies. 2b1af7f3a8
