Carr, Jay, ed. (2002). The A List: The National Society of Film Critics' 100 Essential Films. Da Capo Press. ISBN 0-306-81096-4.A landmark counterculture film, and a "touchstone for a generation" that "captured the national imagination," Easy Rider explores the societal landscape, issues, and tensions towards adolescents in the United States during the 1960s, such as the rise of the hippie movement, drug use, and communal lifestyle. [5] [6] Real drugs were used in scenes showing the use of marijuana and other substances. [7]

The film's success, and the new era of Hollywood that it helped usher in, gave Hopper the chance to direct again with complete artistic control. The result was 1971's The Last Movie, which was a notable box office and critical failure, effectively ending Hopper's career as a director for well over a decade.

Paul D’Orleans, author of The Chopper: The Real Story certainly doesn’t think there’s anything left worth fighting over… or paying vast amounts of money for. “What are you buying?” he asks. In fact, two documentaries about the production of Easy Rider — 1995's Born To Be Wild and 1999's Easy Rider: Shaking The Cage — never name the men who designed and built the choppers.

We built two bikes for Peter and two for Dennis. The two Billy bikes and the other Captain America were stolen and the one that we did the stunt with at the end of the movie, that’s the one that I had. That was an original bike too but the one that Peter rode most of the time was stolen. We never did find out who stole the three bikes.Known locally as "Benny" and "King of Bikes" Ben Hardy's Motorcycle Service was located at 1168 E. Florence in Los Angeles. He was a mentor to many of the local motorcyclists in South Central, Los Angeles. Haggerty did not deny that he signed Granger’s authenticating documents, though claimed that he had signed something that simply was not true. Now car adverts are being BANNED by the woke brigade! Toyota SUV ads removed for condoning driving off-road 'with no regard for environmental impact' It will be fascinating to see how this Captain America bike heading to auction this month will go for, given the difficult authentication situation. Also, although this bike has a cleaner, more direct history, and better claim, will the other bike’s mess and high price affect this one?

The whole thing has been like a Rashomon experience," producer Bill Hayward, who died in 2008, told the filmmakers who made Easy Rider: Shaking The Cage. "The whole movie, the whole production ... everyone's got an entirely different story." Given the comic book tenure of Rogers and his cruiser motorcycles, it only seems appropriate that he would ride in the movies. Also, Harley-Davidson seems like a fitting mount for the veteran, given the WWII connection between the company and the U.S. Army. Web Bike World says that Harley-Davidson contributed nearly 90,000 WLA motorcycles to the war effort around the time that the fictitious fighter would have been in Germany. Among those uncredited in the commune scene were Bridget Fonda, Dan Haggerty, and Carrie Snodgress. Haggerty authenticated the Captain America sold in 2014, but questions arose when the owner of an identical motorcycle declared that his was the actual sole-surviving Easy Rider bike.Steve Rogers, or as he’s better known, Captain America, rides a 1942 Harley-Davidson WLA “Liberator” in The First Avenger. In addition to fitting the film aesthetic, the bike is a derivation of the WWII workhorse. WLA represents a high-compression Harley-Davidson motorcycle and the suffix “A” signifies an Army-purpose motorcycle. So it was appropriate that Rogers and his commandos got their hands on a WLA for their military operations. A WLA | Getty Images a b Golden, Mike (January 12, 2016).
