Good 70's Flick.......2007-08-14

This is one of those films that is so bad it's good. Evel Knievel stars as himself in a war against drugs and corruption. On his trek to rid the world of this evil he drags Lauren Hutton and Gene Kelly along the way. Some of the reviewers, calling this the worst film of the 70's, are obviously taking the film way too seriously.

To enjoy Viva Knievel, leave your brain at the door, and start up your engines!

Oh my god. .......2007-04-03

Based on the Netflix description, I assumed this would be a Leslie Nielsen slapstick comedy. It wasn't. Man, the 70s were a complete waste, weren't they?

They should cut this film up and splice the pieces together with the pieces of "My Dinner with Andre". It'd improve both of them, and frankly, I can't think of any other reason for either film to exist.

Evel became the motorcycle John Wayne.......2006-07-02

I have read most of the reviews on this movie, and agree with many, as I have to respect people's point of view. However, I love this movie. When it first came out I was in (or almost in) high school, and was also a movie lover (still am).

This film hearkens back to the "good ole days" of film, where the hero saves the day. Evel is like a modern day John Wayne who rides his cycle (instead of a horse) through places in order to save the day.

Okay...do not expect Gone with the Wind, but if you want some action and some good old fashion fun, with a hero you can cheer for...this is the movie! Viva Knieval!

...But Only If You Love Bad Movies.......2005-06-04

In the opening scene, Evel, playing himself in a fictional adventure, distributes toys--Evel Knievel action figures!--to orphans in the middle of the night...inspiring one handicapped child to throw away his crutches and walk. I swear I'm not making that up. Santa? Jesus? You just got SERVED!

In this grand testament to One Man's Ego, a cast already dripping with overripe hams (Including Leslie Nielsen as a drug lord! And Marjoe Gortner as a coke fiend!) finds itself overwhelmed by a clown on a bike as he reunites families, teaches a "feminist" to love, and defeats drug smugglers.

And you haven't lived until you've experienced the theme song...
