Knightriders

Starring: Ed Harris, Gary Lahti, Tom Savini, et al.

The members of a traveling Renaissance Faire, who saddle up on motorcycles instead of horses, ride from town to town to stage medieval jousting tournaments with combatants in suits of armor and wielding lances, battle-axes, maces and broadswords. The spectacle of this violent pageant soon garners national attention, much to the dismay of the current king of this Camelot. A challenger to his throne arises as they try to maintain their fairytale existence in a world wrought with corruption.

Customer Reviews

A knight to remember.

King Billy (Ed Harris) is the leader of a group of entertainers who dress as knights. They joust on motorcycles for the public in quasi-renaissance fairs. Internal and external forces threaten to disband the troop. Made for a cross audience of cultures and interests. Many actors from Dawn of the Dead. A cameo of Stephen King and Tabby, his wife. Commentary with: George A. Romero (director and writer) John Amplas (Whiteface) for the first 20 minutes Tom Sauini (Morgan) Christine Romerro (mechanic), the wife of George Taso N. Stavrakis (Ewain) It makes some people think of the SCA: Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc., and MSR (Medieval Studies and Restoration), which did inspire the movie. Romero mentions this in his commentary. This is one of those movies that has acquired a following after it was rediscovered.
