145 minute feature film DVD. A motorcycle gang that patterns itself after medieval knights travels the countryside staging renaissance festivals in director George A.Romero's surprisingly non-horrific KNIGHTRIDERS. Their success leads to a wave of unwanted media attention and a battle for control within the group, leading to a climactic series of duels. In George Romero's KNIGHTRIDERS, Sir William (Ed Harris) and his followers exist in a Camelot-like utopian state of their own devise, separate from mainstream society. Travelling from town to town and putting on a medieval circus and renaissance fair, they hold jousting matches on motorcycles, complete with full suits of armor. Within their isolated society, however, there are problems--Morgan (make-up effects artist Tom Savini) wants badly to usurp William's King Arthur-like position as the leader of the troupe. William's struggle to lead his followers on an honorable path also comes up against a serious obstacle when the media come calling and attempt to turn the troupe into celebrities, thus compromising all that they believe in.
Following his apocalyptic zombie classic, DAWN OF THE DEAD, Romero took a reprieve from the horror game with this singular character study, which just happens to have a good deal of motorcycle stuntwork thrown in for good measure. Written by Romero himself, this lengthy--but original--film is notable for its worthwhile sentiments on staying true to one's self, as well as a fine early perfomance by Harris.
Filmed in Fawn Township, Pennsylvania.
Some fans and writers believe KNIGHTRIDERS is an allegory for director George Romero's career as an independent filmmaker.
Stephen King and his wife Tabitha have cameos as spectators at the jousting matches..
Reknowed guitar player Bill Frisell plays on the soundtrack.
Knightriders Quotes/Excerpts: "I'm not trying to be a hero. I'm fighting the dragon!"--Sir William [Ed Harris) to his followers

The TNT original GETTYSBURG is a sweeping production depicting the events that led up to the Battle of Gettysburg and the three-day battle itself, which claimed tens of thousands of lives, turned the tide of the Civil War, and eventually put an end to slavery in the United States. An excellent production illuminating the horrors and heroes of this uniquely idealistic war, the film boasts terrific performances from Jeff Daniels, Tom Berenger, and Martin Sheen. The screenplay was based on the best-selling novel THE KILLER ANGELS by Michael Shaara.

The final Yojimbo film, INCIDENT AT BLOOD PASS came about as the second of two collaborations between Toshiro Mifune and Shintaro Katsu. The film's Japanese title, MACHIBUSE, means ambush, and that is indeed what waits for Mifune's wandering samurai after he is hired for a mysterious mission. In fact, he is not even given any information about the mission, but only told to be at an old tea house at the top of a pass at a certain time. There, he butts heads with Katsu, a gang of bandits, and a convoy of Shogunate gold as two of Japan's finest film actors and a rousing score make this one of the most entertaining samurai films of the 1970s.
In his final portrayal of the Yojimbo character, Mifune Toshiro is hired to perform a mission so mysterious he isn't even told what it is.

With his prominent moustache and outlaw posturing, Burt Reynolds personified the 1970s-era hunk. In SAM WHISKEY, he exudes cowboy confidence as the title character. Asked by a strange woman for a bizarre favor, he soon finds himself attempting to find stolen gold at the bottom of a river and return it to the bank from which it was robbed. The lovely Angie Dickinson and noted character actor Ossie Davis add flavor to this vintage action flick.
