	DVD Review - Knightriders (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		"Knightriders" is full of symbolism and themes that reflect not only the real world, but the life of George Romero as well.
		While the story in "Knightriders" is very important, all of the themes and relationships could have been presented and given proper justice in 90 minutes -- 2 hours tops.
		"Knightriders" is presented in an anamorphic widescreen, which is letterboxed at 1.85:1.

		Knightriders is thoroughly engrossing during the jousting tournaments and whenever Ed Harris is onscreen, but is less successful in-between, when toeing the line of the Arthurian Legend makes the film too mannered.
		The cinematography in `Knightriders' is surprisingly well done, as B movies are not usually known for their great camera work.
		Knightriders is a fun, drawn out tale with lots of action and a lot of heart.

		The Knightriders participated in all of Operation LINEBACKER I. Among their tasking they were responsible for mining many of North Vietnam's harbors and inlets, including Haiphong.
		During their turnaround, the Knightriders passed six years of accident-free flying while engaged in extensive training in 1982 and 1983 for an around the world cruise on board the USS CARL VINSON (CVN-70).
		The "1972" Knightrider aircrews celebrated a reunion in February 1991 and a thirty-year reunion in August of 2002.

		King William (Ed Harris, in his first major role) leads a carnival troupe of motorcyclists who travel from town to town staging authentic medieval jousting competitions (authentic, that is, except for the motorcycles).
		Cracks are beginning to form in the knightriders' idyllic, Camelot-like exterior.
		Anchor Bay Entertainment presents Knightriders in a gorgeous widescreen (1.85:1, 16X9 enhanced) transfer with a clean, sharp image and accurate, if slightly dull, hues (the colors have always been a bit washed out, so it must have been intentional).

	Horrordvds.com - Knightriders: Special Ed. DVD Review
		Knightriders is superbly acted with great performances by a then virtually unknown Ed Harris as well as special effects wizard Tom Savini, who has a much larger role in Knightriders than probably any of the other appearances he's made combined.
		Knightriders is one of the better DVD releases of a George Romero film and is sure to delight fans.
		Knightriders may disappoint horror fans looking for a horror film, but the film really is a fun well-crafted masterpiece with deep meaning and strong performances by the actors and actresses, especially Ed Harris.

		On one of the days following his birthday, Knightriders finally arrived in my mailbox and I took it upstairs, allowing it to be forgotten on a bookshelf until a couple weeks later, when he died.

	dOc DVD Review: Knightriders (1981)
		Knightriders is arguably Romero's most ignored film, probably for the reason that it's not a horror piece.
		In Knightriders, King "Billy" William (Ed Harris) leads a group of medieval performers around the U.S. The twist to this entertainment fair, however, is that the knights use motorcycles instead of horses.
		Knightriders essentially tells the story of this close knit group and how they must deal with a leader who furiously resists change and other members who have stopped believing in the magic of their own profession.

	Martin / Knightriders - PopMatters Film Review
		Knightriders remains a personal favorite and a unique example of a genre film with a cockeyed alternative agenda.
		The audacity of Billy's vision and the fervor with which he struggles to preserve it in the face of a potential corporate takeover of the group obviously bears a parallel to Romero's efforts as an independent filmmaker.
		Knightriders exhibits Romero's skill at depicting physical exuberance in sequence after sequence of masterfully edited shots of speeding bikes, splitting lances and swinging maces.

	Movie Review - Knightriders - eFilmCritic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		It's too bad he didn't make more like this, because while I am a huge fan of films like "Dawn of the Dead", this film shows that Romero has the ability to tell a good tale outside of the realm of the macabre.
		"Knightriders" is the story of a rag-tag travelling renaissance fair, whose prime attraction is armored men jousting on motorcycles.
		"Knightriders" is probably the closest Romero has come to producing an epic film, and is a must-see for his fans and recommended for anyone else who enjoys jousting, motorcycle crashes, or anachronistic themes.

		Knightriders is the story of a troupe of motorcyclists who are members of a traveling Renaissance Faire.
		They move from town to town staging full medieval jousting tournaments with combatants in suits of armor, wielding lances, battle-axes, maces and broadswords.
		This is a finely crafted film written and directed by George A. Romero who brought us Night of the Living Dead and Creepshow and continues in his tradition of visual mastery here with Knightriders.

	Anchor Bay UK - George Romero Wishlist
		The theatrical and this extended edition would be excellent but adding a George Romero commentary and a decent Featurette could make it an excellent release that would be sure to get a lot of attention.
		Knightriders is a really good movie - I have the R1 Anchor Bay disc.
		I'd love to see Knightriders, Bruiser and Season Of The Witch on R2 As far as I know Bruiser has been released in Germany on R2 with commentary track by George A. Romero.

		The thing that made Dawn of the Dead such a great film is that it is an exemplary horror film, but also a brilliant metaphor for 1970's consumer culture (it's still brilliant).
		Knightriders is obviously about filmmaking and the challenges of keeping everything under the wings of the leader who wants the public to see it's about more than just the spectacle but the substance underneath.
		Romero, a great director still has a great sense of editing and the action scenes are good, but it is all weighed down by a solemnity that is never understood when their activities as modern knights is borderline ridiculous.

		Knightriders would best be described as the legend of King Arthur meets Easy Rider (with a bit of Don Quixote thrown in).
		The film concerns a traveling Renaissance Faire, whose centerpiece is a tournament in which armored knights compete in a joustastride motorcycles.
		Knightriders also offers a glimpse of the less pleasant side of Faire lifenamely the tawdry, unkempt patrons who care nothing for history or pageantry, for whom a day at Faire is no different than one at Coney Island.

		It’s impractical and beneath sophomoric, but when Billy and his guys are riding off into the sunset, my eyes get all misty.
		I think this only adds to its wholesomeness, again because everyone involved really seemed to roll up their sleeves and work hard for it.

	DVD Verdict Review - Knightriders
		After Dawn of the Dead was a commercial success for director George Romero he wanted to make a personal film with multiple levels and textures, as well as a tale outside the horror genre.
		That film was Knightriders, a film about knights who joust on motorcycles in modern day, and went into instant obscurity as "nine people went to see it." Romero fans have resurrected this film in the video market, however, and now Anchor Bay has produced a fine DVD presentation.
		He wanted to tell a tale of Camelot set in the modern day, with conflict between people who still wanted to follow the Code, and those who only lived for the action and fun.

		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.
		Williamâs 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.

		I just checked and someone on IMDB said, "Yeah, it's too long, but I can't bear to think of any of it not being there..." and I feel the same way.
		In many ways, KNIGHTRIDERS is Romero's most uncompromising film.
		It also includes what I think is Stephen King's first cameo, as "The Hoagie Man." His wife appears with him.

		By the end we're ready to believe Harris should step down as king only because he's been playing the role too long and should just get back in step with the times.
		Issues like these are not the heart of KNIGHTRIDERS, however, and the drawcard for many theatregoers in 1981 would have been the expertly handled action sequences - it didn't hurt that these would have cashed in on the MAD MAX films that were also around at the time.
		Abrupt conclusion to film pretty much denies all the naiveté that underpins its central idea.

	Knightriders - George Romero: Science-Fiction & Fantasy forums
		A shame really, but then we're in the world where even a Romero has to struggle for years to get his films made.
		In fact, Knightriders is often (correctly IMO) regarded as a metaphor of Romero's own struggle to maintain the integrity of his work against a money-minded studio system.
		It was made in 1981, right after Dawn, on the strength of whose success, Romero had snagged a 3-film deal with Laurel Pictures.

		I've only ever seen this movie once - quite a few years ago (this must have been made mid to late 80s or very early 90s) and absolutely loved it.
		It's one of the most beautifully tragic films I've ever seen, with a heart-breaking performance by John Amplas in the lead.
