Amazon.com essential video:
This is the original motorcycle movie, starring Marlon Brando as the brooding leader of a biker gang that invades a small town. The film always looked like one of those synthetic Hollywood ideas of subculture life in the 1950s, which means it looks even more artificial today. But it is an actor's piece more than anything, and toward that end Brando's performance really is an important one in the context of his revolutionary reinvention of film acting during that decade. Directed by Lásló Benedek (Namu, the Killer Whale) and produced by the socially conscious Stanley Kramer. --Tom Keogh

"The Wild One" and not "Easy Rider" is the classic of bad boy motorcycle flicks (Sonny Barger of the Hells Angels describes Easy Rider as a movie about two dope dealers, not about bikers).
This is a fun flick with the best part, IMHO, the viewer being able to retro back to the classic bikes and biker clothing of the 1950s.

The Movie that every motorcycle enthusiast should see. Sometimes I think the attitude hasn't changed that much... The story of how it all started. My biker movie collection is now complete. "We don't ride just any one place, that's cornball style".

THIS IS A MUST HAVE CLASSIC BIKER MOVIE. THIS IS ONE OF IF NOT THE FIRST RECOGNIZED MOTORCYCLE GANG MOVIE.IF YOUR A BIKER FAN YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS ONE.

Another in a long line of wrong roles for Brando, as well as a ridiculous collection of gentrified cycle rats, but despite this basic silliness, there is the girl--Mary Murphy whose conflicted desires stole the show--and the music...fun West Coast jazz featuring Kenton graduates, Shorty Rogers and Shelly Manne (aka Manny Shell and Roger Short because of recording contract issues).
Sadly it was Marlon Brando who recovered from the train wreck rather than Mary Murphy.

This movie made in 1954 starring Marlon Brando and Lee Marvin was the first of the "biker" movies.
The film loosely depicts the 1947 biker melee that really happened and virtually destroyed the northern California town of Hollister. The script was a little weak for me.
Marlon Brando stars as Johnny, the leader of a biker gang (the Black Rebels) that invades a small town, Wrightsville.
The movie begins where the gang takes a road trip and crashes a motorcycle ... Read More
