Captain America II Easy Rider: The Ride Back - Cruiser Feature - Motorcycle USA
Did Wyatt really die in that shotgun blast? And who was Wyatt ‘Captain America’ Williams? Where’d he come from, and how did he end up the chopper-riding, freedom-seeking rabble rouser that he was? For enquiring minds that want to know, the answers can be found in Easy Rider: The Ride Back, a new prequel to the original motorcycle movie and cult classic, Easy Rider, that aims to answer these questions and more when it debuts in October.
Who knew what impact a low-budget film made by a fresh young director involving controversial topics of the 1960s would have on the movie industry? But 40 years later, Easy Rider remains an iconic testimony to biker culture and ranks as one of the top 100 AFI movies of all time at number 88. It would spark the ‘New Hollywood’ phase of filmmaking where the big studios realized that low budget filmmaking in the hands of the right creative director could be just as successful as a high-dollar blockbuster.
