I Have to admit I love this film, I seen it for the first time in my teenage years shortly after getting into bikes thanks to an ex girlfriend & her dad....which incidentally I think may be sarah594 who previously commented on this movie (the maths works out). David Essex is totally underrated by the younger generation as a singer & actor but in this film you cant help but like him and the music sooths you and grips you in certain parts without you even realising it. One interesting part I can confirm is real is when David Essex is pulling some wheelies outside the disco (old word for club) was actually him, he had a very keen interest in motorcycles and I imagine some of the younger folk wont believe it was possible in the olden days. Great film great soundtrack a must see for some old school cheese....

OK my mum is a major David essex nut so as a child was really rail roaded in to this film- but years on I still love it and its what got me in to motorbikes. This is an all round good 80s' film and films are not made like this anymore. To todays standards it looks really budget but it will always hold a special place in my heart and I love the song that went with it as well!! If you have a lil sister like mine though who gets scared easily don't let her watch it- she wouldn't go on her push-bike for weeks just in case it went like the bike in the film (you try explaining to a tiny child that a push bike is nothing like a motorbike!).

Where to begin? Appalling plot, appalling acting, appalling score. I can scarcely remember a film where I have squirmed so much in embarrassment. This tale of a world-conquering British "superbike" (coming at a time when the British motorcycle industry was all but dead in the water) is corny in the extreme. Truly some of the worst acting ever seen, but despite the huge amount of money spent on the movie, I have never met anyone who has seen it. There is a God.

I saw this or part of it last night (21-09-99) and the only reason I was interested in it was when I saw {Cristina Raines .... Julie Prince} - she is certainly an extremely beautiful woman and as far as I am concerned makes this film well worth watching. Forget the cheesy scences on the bike or Essex jogging with his perma-grin - just focus on the lovely Cristina and you'll easily get through it!

OK, fine, I admit that the movie plot is a bit cheezy, though the Silver Dream Racer did fuel my aspirations of becoming a professional motorcycle racer (a dream I later abandoned because of my inability to even be able to ride a rudimentary bicycle). I saw this movie in the early 90's when I was still a wee lad, and believe me it made me lose faith in the Underdog forever! OK, so here's Nick, a young rider on a hot bike who kicks much butt at Silverstone, destroying everything from Germans to Australians to Americans and even surviving the dreaded American tag team death trap! A man that rides perfectly to the very end when he crosses the finish line and makes the only life-shattering mistake of removing his hands from the handlebar to signify his victory and suddenly has his bike wobble, crash into a wall, and then explode in a spectacular pyrotechnic display. Where is the justice?

Nick Freeman is a talented motorcycle racer but his bike has seen better days and he doesn't have the finances to upgrade it. Then his brother dies and Nick is left the bike he spent the last three years developing. The bike is revolutionary and Nick sees a way to pursue his dream. Heaps of potential, largely wasted. It is difficult to make an unexciting racing movie, but writer-director David Wickes somehow manages it here. The final racing scenes are great, but just about everything else is mediocre: sub-plots that don't go anywhere, much filler, attempts at humour that are largely silly, implausible plot developments or events and a general cheesiness to proceedings. Throw in some irritating performances - David Essex and Cristina Raines are okay but Beau Bridges and Clarke Peters are quite cringeworthy - and the film is more miss than hit. Don't get me started on the ridiculous ending...

I remember seeing this movie year's ago one night and loved it, i cried at the end could not believe he died and what a way to go. I've got it now on DVD with the original and alternative endings still the originals better after all you can only have so much of a good thing. I'm not a motorbike enthusiast but i can see why people can be influenced it almost makes you want to go out and ride motorbikes,David Essexs is brilliant as Freeman and Beau Bridges is good as the Villain but its the bike that steals the movie.The theme tune is very catchy and suits the movies opening sequence. I can't say enough about this movie sad as i maybe i love it.

Essex is the most underrated actor we ever produced.The bike was gorgeous,Harry H Corbett and a tale of a British success !Who could ask for more ?If you are a bike fan,as i am,the plot came almost second to that great bike.You cannot the makers to portray an entire season in such a short time,so the single GP format was really the only way to do it.Whats wrong with a sentimental film? On golden pond,Love story,Kramer vs Kramer Love story all seemed to do quite well as I remember.If you Take Essexs acting in That'll Be the day and Stardust,you cannot say that he isn't a master of the craft.I will warrant you,that because of the obvious lack of knowledge on the subject,the directing was not first class,but no movie has everything.Praise where its due,beautiful bike,fair bit of racing footage and Davids love of bikes really came through.Top film,greatly underrated.

In the late seventies the Rank Organisation decided to 're enter production.They made 8 films in which they invested 10 million pounds.They made a net loss of £1.3million pounds.Not surprisingly this was the last film they made till they restarted production in 1984.To anyone who is not a motor racing enthusiast this is a pain in the exhaust.It is is very hard to sit through this film.The film is very derivative.In fact I would say that parts of this film seem to have been taken from the George Form by film "No Limit".which I consider to be an entertaining film.The Rank Organisation did not know which way to go,in any event certainly not around a motor racing track.
