If that motorist would have just kept his mouth shut....


...he wouldnt have got his @$$ handed to him. Danny was going to let him go. But then I guess there wouldnt have been a novie.

True but those bikers went overboard.

DISPLAY thy breasts, my Julia!

And there would have been no movie.

Doesn't really make sense at all what he did after the biker walked away.

My thoughts exactly. Who would be dumb enough to go up against a gang, talk crap to them, and expect no issues, especially when the guy in the bug ran into them.

reply

Yea, I hated that kid. The biker was being nice and polite and the kid just mouths off to him. He is outnumbered, the incident was his fault, and he threatens the gang leader and shouts obscenities at him. There was a part of me that was cheering on the beating that he got, up to a certain point anyway.

This was a really interesting way to set up the bikers. The guy had every opportunity to get out of a bad situation and just kept pushing it. It made the characters more human and ultimately more evil.

He was eyein' the sheep. Must have wanted some...candy.

You keep your mouth shut-and your dirty thoughts to yourself, Son.

Look who's talkin about dirty thoughts.

You rotten, lousy BASTARD!.

It's part of what makes this film so great. The bikers were actually being pretty nice about it at first. Especially when you consider how many bikers get injured and killed by careless motorists. As has been stated before, the bikers took ultimately took it waaaaaaaaay too far but the guy had several chances to get out of it.

reply

Which pretty much had nothing to do with the motorist fight/beating.

Are you saying that the motorcyclists were just a bunch of nice guys? "Hey, It's a club, man, not a gang!"

Sig, you want a sig, here's a SIG-sauer!
