Here's a 'biker' movie some o' you may have missed... 'Freebird.' A great British comedy with a flare for the bizarre and unusual. Why haven't you blokes across the pond informed us of this destined to be 'classic?' It's rife with good ol' British humour!!!

Errrr perhaps we haven't informed you because we thought it was crap.
Well I thought it was, can't speak for anyone else.
Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"

Well it had an advanced screening at one of the rallies a few years ago ...I sort of 1/2 watched it as I was keeping an eye on the beer situation and ..well I had a few herbal ciggies which were coming to the surface ..so I bought a copy when I got home ....it does have one or two moments of humour ...not enough bikes .....a definite lack of nubile scantily clad females ... over all 4/10 for effort ......

Funny, I remember seeing that in the press when it was being made, mainly because Phil Daniels (good in most things he appears in ... though wasn't he in Eastenders for a while??  ). I might get it when it appears in the " DVDs for two quid" bin at Tesco!

Just watched the trailer. Kinda looks like Cheech and Chong meet the Wild Hogs.

I thought Phil Daniels was very good as usual. The cinematography was great... absolutely breathtaking countryside. The soundtrack was good. But yeah, it was more a stoner than a biker movie which for some strange reason seems to appeal to me. The main characters portrayed being high on 'shrooms to the tee!!

I did just that or similar paid 3 quid and I was robbed!
Sorry m'man I give it 3/10 one for each £1 I parted with (and trust me that is a miricale in itself)!
I will give it another go since I bought flippin' thing unless someone else wants to buy this wonderful blockbuster from me. The price? £3.00 excluding P&P.

I can't find it for rent, and with the mixed reviews am not sure I want to order it.
