Overwiew :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.

Starring : Ed Harris, Brother Blue, Tom Savini, Warner Shook, Patricia Tallman

Directors : George A. Romero


  Critic Reviews  Grade
efilmcritic.com - : ''Knightriders'' is the story of a rag-tag travelling renaissance fair, whose prime attraction is armored men jousting on motorcycles. The carnival is led by Billy (played by Ed Harris, when he still had most of his hair), who fancies himself a modern-day King Arthur. These people aren't merely putting on a show for the tourists, though. They are living a lifestyle loosely modeled after medieval society. Vendors and concession workers fill the role of peasants, providing the economic backbone of the troupe, while the jousters are the lords, providing the pageantry and spectacle and making the major decisions.  more...
