		Easy Rider (1969) is the late 1960s "road film" tale of a search for freedom (or the illusion of freedom) in a conformist and corrupt America, in the midst of paranoia, bigotry and violence.
		Easy Rider, one of the first films of its kind, was a ritualistic experience and viewed (often repeatedly) by youthful audiences in the late 1960s as a reflection of their hopes of liberation and fears of the Establishment.
		Easy Rider surprisingly, was an extremely successful, low-budget (under $400,000), counter-cultural, independent film for the alternative youth/cult market, with sex, drugs, casual violence, a sacrificial tale (with a shocking, unhappy ending), and a pulsating rock and roll soundtrack reinforcing or commenting on the film's themes.

		Henry Fonda is said to have come out of "Easy Rider" a confused and puzzled man. He had worked in movies for 35 years and made some great ones, and now his son Peter was going to be a millionaire because of a movie Henry couldn't even understand.
		In fact, the same kids who did "Easy Rider" were on dates in the drive-ins a few years ago when "The Wild Angels" and "Hell's Angels on Wheels" and all the other motorcycle pictures came along.
		"Easy Rider" takes the gang leader (Fonda) and condenses his gang into one uptight archetype (played by director Hopper.) It takes the aimless rebellion of the bike gangs and channels it into specific rejection of the establishment (by which is meant everything from rednecks to the Pentagon to hippies on communes).

		Easy Rider was a tiny film that paved a big road.
		Hopper’s bike wasn’t as radically chopped in the film as he wasn’t as an experienced rider.
		John Lennon and Peter Fonda once shared an acid trip where Fonda repeatedly remarked, "I know what it's like to be dead, man." It later inspired Lennon to pen the tune, “She Said, She Said”.

		The executives loved the sound and insisted the songs be left in, and "Easy Rider" begat countless later movies that were scored with oldies.
		Directed by Richard Rush ("The Stunt Man"), it was a largely overlooked precursor to "Easy Rider," sharing the same cinematographer, Laszlo Kovacs, and even the same little-known actor in a colorful supporting role: Jack Nicholson, who played a gas station attendant named Poet.
		Historic moments in the cinema are not always this easy to identify: Nicholson had been in movies for years, but his jailhouse dialogue in "Easy Rider" instantly made him a star.

	Easy Rider Air Hitch - How It Works (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Easy Rider pioneered the development of air ride hitches, bringing about the first real innovation in towing technology in many years. This patented technology is defining the next generation of trailer hitches for the 21st century. Whether you are pulling a 32-foot 5
		Easy Rider offers a limited two-year warranty that we have yet to need to honor. No products have even been returned for product defects. There have been situations where the wrong hitch was ordered, but we have had no serious problems. We make it a practice of guaranteeing customer satisfaction or your money back.

	Bad Subjects: Requiem for an Easy Rider
		Easy Rider is both a glamorization of the '60s counterculture and a cautionary tale about it.
		In Easy Rider it was the drugs that were invisible — the cops don't even find their stash of marijuana when they are incarcerated for parading without a license — while their outlandish symbolic clothing got them in trouble.
		And especially in the case of Easy Rider, these films reveal that mass communication is a key component in the perpetuation and spread of flashy subcultures.

	Easy Rider DVD at Video Universe
		EASY RIDER accurately reflects the tensions and hostilities of the period, Laszlo Kovacs's photography is superb, Nicholson is exceptional in his breakthrough role--and the startling, stunning ending is a shocker.
		In itself, "Easy Rider" is a work full of contradictions--including the fact that Hopper took time off from shooting to appear in "True Grit" (1969), a John Wayne film with almost the opposite philosophy.
		The most important comment "Easy Rider" made was to be found in the vast discrepency between the visual beauty in the movie, as captured by Lazlo Kovacs' cinematography, and the ugliness of the climate of life in the late Sixties.

	Easy Rider (1969)
		Released in the year of the Woodstock concert, and made in a year of two tragic assassinations (Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King), the Vietnam War buildup and Nixon's election, the tone of this 'alternative' film is remarkably downbeat and bleak, reflecting the collapse of the idealistic 60s.
		The iconographic, 'buddy' film, actually minimal in terms of its artistic merit and plot, is both memorialized as an image of the popular and historical culture of the time and a story of a contemporary but apocalyptic journey by two self-righteous, drug-fueled, anti-hero bikers eastward through the American Southwest.
		The film's title refers to their rootlessness and ride to make "easy" money; it is also slang for a pimp who makes his livelihood off the earnings of a prostitute.

		When Easy Rider became a successful film upon release, a decision was made to release a soundtrack album, and most labels agreed to license their tracks to Dunhill/ABC.

		To be totally honest, I'd never seen Easy Rider before and although I really enjoyed it, I get slightly creeped-out by the hippie lifestyle portrayed in films and documented in news footage.
		Along with redoing the picture, Easy Rider has been given a breath of new life in the audio area.
		Slight hiss is heard occasionally behind some of the dialog, but dialog in general is clear and easy to understand and isn't masked by the music and effects.

		Easy Rider's success lies init's impact on society and free-will; it explores the real America andtries to justify the word 'freedom' throughout.
		It may be a bit disjointed and it may have lost some of its magic but the cult classic that is Easy Rider is still a momentous achievement and a film that altered the way Hollywood was run and arguably was a major catalyst for the New Golden Era of the 70's.

		Where this book is valuable is less in its assessment of the artistic merit of Easy Rider than in its remarkable account, mostly here told for the first time, of the genesis and the making of the film.
		As memory fades, of course, Easy Rider has come more and more to be seen as Jack Nicholson's film, especially with the actor's ascent to superstardom; and this is placed in its proper context in the useful chapter in which the subsequent careers of the principals are delineated.
		Hill places Easy Rider solidly and illuminatingly in its cinematic context, and traces its effect on later road films, from Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore to Wim Wenders's almost obsessive concern with the subgenre.

		Experiencing the "shock of recognition," youth audiences embraced Easy Rider's vision of both the attractions and the limits of dropping out, proving that audience's box-office power and turning Nicholson into a movie star.
		Though none of its imitators would match its impact, Easy Rider remains one of the seminal works of late '60s Hollywood both for its trailblazing legacy and its sharply perceptive portrait of its chaotic times.
