Product Description

Amazon.ca

This is the original motorcycle movie, starring Marlon Brando as the brooding leader of a biker gang that invades a small town. The film always looked like one of those synthetic Hollywood ideas of subculture life in the 1950s, which means it looks even more artificial today. But it is an actor's piece more than anything, and toward that end Brando's performance really is an important one in the context of his revolutionary reinvention of film acting during that decade. Directed by Lásló Benedek (Namu, the Killer Whale) and produced by the socially conscious Stanley Kramer. --Tom Keogh

3.0 out of 5 stars Biker movies with touches of humoer Jun 2 2010
By Robert Hislop
Format:DVD
I thought this movie was great. This picture, witch had a real feel of jazz music through out the whole movie whitch was great to me. I would say the movie also had great humour at the beginning of this movie. This movie was very social in touching on the biker subject in it's time.

5.0 out of 5 stars I AIN'T JIVIN. . . BRANDO DOES ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! July 11 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
I would have to agree with other reviewers that this film is rather corny, but for its time it was revolutionary. Throughout the film I must admit I had several laughs with lines such as, "You're too square" and "Anybody thinks their too good for me, I knock 'em over sometime". And phraseology such as "that's corn ball style". And Brando's faux black accent put me in mind of a 1970's blaxploitation movie, especially with the continual use of the word "jive". Nevertheless, Brando's deliverance is awesome, everything from his facial expressions and gestures to his timing is perfect. The man is stunning in this film. It's hard to take your eyes off of him, but then again, why would you want to?!! Highly recommended!

With this movie Brando became in a icon for all a generation; somehow Brando meant the breakthrough with the past. Read more

All right, it's silly now to see Dick Van Dyke's ex-neighbor as a outlaw biker, to say nothing of overaged juveniles Gil Stratton & Alvy Moore. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate '50s motorcycle cult film.
"The Wild One", with Marlon Brando perched on top of his motorcyle on the front cover, had a certain appeal to me. Read more

All those reviewers who gave this film 5 and 4 stars are really digging deep into their charity boxes. This is an incredibly dated, slow and boring movie. Read more

The "bikers" are like Broadway show extras. The dialogue is embarrassingly unauthentic. Believe me, nobody outside of 42nd Street ever talked like that, daddy-o. Read more
