Along the way, they pick up a sheltered film student hitchhiker and encounter a couple of southern belle rappers.” Allmovie.com Seems a road trip is the way to find oneself. At least there are no stunts on these sports bikes. It is actually a good look at the black experience and race relationships.

“Biker Zombies From Detroit is a horror/comedy contrasting the dark deadly streets of outer Detroit against the posh and protected upscale community of Grosse Pointe.” IMDb.com
2002 Lone Hero Canadian made for HBO Lou Diamond Phillips, Sean Patrick Flaner
“Standard story of a biker gang taking over a town. The story starts with Phillips and a cohort robbing a store and injuring a salesperson. The bikers tell everyone in the store that if any one tells who committed the crime, the gang will take revenge on them and their families. Flanery nonetheless proceeds to arrest them with a gun filled with blanks when he next sees them. The gang breaks their leader out of jail, killing the policemen in the process.” Imdb.com This is a modern, I think well done, telling of the old formula of biker gang and justice. Phillips is more real and menacing then those in past as there is none of the jive hippy talk.

“Professional motorcycle racer Bud Clay heads from New Hampshire to California to race again. Along the way he meets various needy women who provide him with the cure to his own loneliness, but only a certain woman from his past will truly satisfy him.” IMDb.com I thought the movie was going for the loneliness of being a racer. Lots of road trip, not much bike action, just strange. More like a 70s film.

Zápletka:
Part sequel, part prequel, Easy Rider: The Ride Back delves into the family lineage of Wyatt “Captain America” Williams (played in the original by Peter Fonda) and the families trials and tribulations throughout the decades of the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s to present day. Juxt-a-posed against the families love affair with motorcycles, the film delves into issues of love, War, honor, and redemption, while keeping true to the spirit of the original film: the iconic “Buddy Ride” and the idea of a continuing search for freedom in an America that is struggling to find its identity.
Opening against the back-drop of present day Americana, the story begins with a conflicted Morgan Williams as he journeys to make amends with his dying father in Arizona. The black sheep of the family, Morgan's 40 year rift with his father has been the product of his following in the footsteps of his older brother Wyatt. Riding aboard the trademark Captain America motorcycle, a chopper which he recovered and rebuilt after his brother's death in Louisiana, Morgan teams up with his childhood friend Wes Coast as they embark upon an adventure that will force them to confront the past in order to make reparations with the present. From the conflicting battle fields of World War II and Vietnam to the dark past that has splintered a family, Easy Rider: The Ride Back is a journey for all ages. Every family has its secrets... Every Legend a Beginning.
