Today in motorcycle history, August 5, 1994
Miramax releases their version of Motorcycle Gang.
A $1,000,000 budget gets them Director John Milius, (Conan the Barbarian, Red Dawn) and Hollywood actor Gerald McRaney (Simon & Simon, Major Dad). Well, they're off to a good start..er.. now we need a bad guy..hmm..how about Gary Busey, he's a nut-job and once rode a bike...no?...busy?..hey, doesn't he have a kid?...yeah, Jake Busey...looks like the old man but, can he ride a bike?...as good as his old man?..we have insurance.....book him.
Gerald McRaney plays Cal, a retired soldier (a stretch there) driving his family from Texas to California. As they cross the desert, they are terrorized by a gang of heroin-dealing bikers led by their prez, Jake, (Jake Busey) who kidnap his teenage daughter and take her across the Mexican border. He follows them to their hideout and devises a plan to rescue his daughter.
An hour and a half you will never get back. Keep that in mind.
