AKA George A. Romero's Knightriders."You see, the way I see it is this: You got two separate fights. The one for truth and justice and the American way of life and all that. That's gotta take a backseat to the one for staying alive."
A traveling group of medieval performers, led by King Billy (Ed Harris) have a unique take on jousting, using motorbikes instead of horses! The group slowly unwind as the king has trouble controlling his knights due to various pressures including small town cops and the temptation of fame in LA. His main rival is Morgan the black knight (Tom Savini), who does indeed move to LA in search of greater recognition, but then returns to usurp the throne.
Easy Rider for the jousting brigade! Romero tries something other than zombies, and whilst an interesting concept the film for me comes up a little short and slightly flat.
