TeenzTen An action-packed slog
GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
bubblesarbear The characters arent even believable as bikers, especially the guy who plays Cesar, that guy looks like a short fat women with a wig and fake beard. I guess it's hard for feminine men to try and play tough manly men. What a waste of time!!!
elvcowen Overall I found this series to be quite good. The characters are believable and fairly true to the 1%ers I know.I however find the absolute disregard for helmet laws to be very immersion breaking, helmet laws in Aus came in during 1961 (Jan 1st 1961) and the real 1%ers I know did not disregard the helmet laws (it wasn't worth the police hassle), especially considering this is set during the late 70's early 80's as is displayed by the cars shown, the characters in this show would have grown up with helmet laws in place therefore the characters would be likely to abide by the laws regarding helmet use. The only scene where a character is shown prominently wearing a helmet is one where the helmet clearly served it's purpose, he was injured not dead after suffering a head meets road incident. It is also very much an Americanisation of the series.There is also a minor quibble that up until the mid-late 80's Harley's were not the bike of choice of the 1%ers it was generally heavily modified UJM's or British bikes.
brianandjayne I see Earl from Australia talking about the bikes and the film.As for the film,I have been a biker my whole life and first wore colours in 1971 and still do.I am also a film maker.The way they act on the film is just about dead on and as for the bikes.They are all Harley Shovel heads which were made from 1966 to 1984.None of the bikes are new and are all authentic to the period.In 84 they began building Evos and the switched to Twin Cam engines in 1998.They were Twin Cams in the harleys in 2011 so no you are wrong about the bikes.Those bikes are the bikes we road back in the 60s 70s and 80s.As for the Sportsters in the film,they were all period Iron Heads.Before you run things down maybe it would be wise to get your facts strait first.This was not bad film and it took me back to those days.It was very realistic in it's portral of bikers in the 70s and 80s.And as for Campbell,it isn't was but is as the Enforcer is still alive.
Mike Burton The show was really good but could have been a bit Meaner and maybe a bit more realistic but I must say I am not happy it was only 6 episodes long. I hope they make another series as this was good viewing. Maybe it could have gone into more depth on how the club got money and what the real war was over.The show was over all a good show The actors did well playing the characters. The action was a bit slow but was tense when needed. I wanted to watch every week and looked forward to it.I really wish their were more episodes.go enjoy
