5 PHENOMENAL MOTORCYCLE MOVIE SCENES

Have you ever stopped and thought about how many great motorcycle movie scenes there have been over the years? I’ve never owned one but I’ve always thought motorcycles were cool especially when our favorite movie stars are speeding, flipping, and jumping them in ways only possible in the movies. So why not look at 5 Phenomenal Motorcycle Movie Scenes? Now this was a tough list to put together because I always like to include a little variety. But there are some iconic motorcycle scenes that I hate to leave off. So here they are. Now I know people will find some popular choices missing therefore I’m not calling this the definitive list. But I have no trouble calling these five motorcycle movie scenes absolutely phenomenal.

#5 – “THE GREAT ESCAPE”

NAME_1 NAME_2 was one tough dude. He also had an affection for fast vehicles and maybe that’s one reason his motorcycle scene from “The Great Escape” is so good. NAME_2, decked out in full Nazi soldier garb, makes his way by motorcycle into a small German occupied village as he tries to sneak out of Nazi territory. There he is discovered which leads to an amazing chase through the rolling Bavarian meadows. The gorgeous scenery is one thing, but watching NAME_2 handle the bike with Nazis in pursuit is exhilarating. Very little stunt work was needed. NAME_2 was a skilled motorcycle rider and he even played the Nazis pursuing him in several shots. The sequence climaxes with an amazing jump over a barbed wire fence (this time done by a stuntman). It’s a great scene from a great film.

#4 – “NAME_3 NAME_4 AND THE LAST CRUSADE”

There is a wonderful motorcycle sequence in “NAME_3 NAME_4 and the Last Crusade”. NAME_5 (NAME_6) and his father (NAME_7) make a wild escape after being captured by the Nazis. The pair tear off on a motorcycle and sidecar with five Nazis on bikes right behind them. This is a typical NAME_3 NAME_4 action scene and I love it. They bust through checkpoints, joust with an oncoming Nazi biker, and cause some of the wildest motorcycle crashes you’ll ever see. But as you would expect from an NAME_5 film, humor is a key ingredient to making the scene work. It’s funny enough seeing NAME_7 whizzing around in a motorcycle sidecar. But watching NAME_5’s childlike exuberance when he takes out a Nazi versus his dad’s scowling show of disapproval is just hilarious.

#3 – “SKYFALL”

I love it when I am able to put a newer movie on one of these lists and I h There should be exactly 3 paragraphs separated by the markdown divider: ***.
