Movie to watch for fun
Added 11/22/2008
I really enjoy fantasy-sci-fi movies. This was a fun movie with a good twist at the end. Too bad they did not make more in the line.

Added 1/21/2005
highly entertainig. has good acting cast. great music.great comic moments.present and in the past story line. love scenes, a western. harsh language. shoot-em up. vengance. the best motor cycle photo/documentary/video i have ever seen. feel like i could ride a bike naturally after watching this movie.
slick, well thought out, well made. bravo!!!!!a keeper!!!!
i felt robbed when i bought the dvd version and found that one of the two ending, main eliments were missing why did they do that?!a softer rating sellout? that ruined the story line!!! buy the vhs version and see the way the producer wanted you to see it.

Why did they change the ending?
Added 7/8/2003
I saw this flick in the movies when it was released and have a VHS copy I recorded from cable. Great flick. I never get tired of watching it. At the end, reaction of the outlaws when the...well I don't want to spoil it.But speaking of the end. I picked up a DVD copy from somewhere (I forget where) and the changed the scene dealing with the demise of Peter Coyote's character. In the original release he quite literally, gets cut of at the ankles by the tail rotor of the, you know. In the release I have he is left whinning on a rock like a little bitc...baby. What's up with this?

My favorite movie and my favorite bike
Added 3/29/2002
Not only is Michael Nesmith the producer, but he wrote the music. If time travel, Yamaha 500cc singles, and many humorous moments are your cup of tea, then check this movie out. I own the VHS, and like all of the other reviewers, would buy the DVD if it came out, in less than one rev of a big thumper (about one-tenth of a second)!

TIMERIDER RAN OUT OF TIME ABOUT 3 SECONDS TOO EARLY! BOOOOOO!
Added 6/16/2009
I remember the first time I saw this film, it was on late night back in the early 80's. Whenever a friends parents would go away for the weekend "the gang" would turn their house into a party!......sound familiar? hhmmmm?
Well, after a night of Ted Nugent and other top notch heavy rockers we would watch SNL.......which was a big deal back in those days! This film came on later that night and those who didn't pass out caught a fairly enjoyable "fish out of water" flick called Timerider!
The first thing I noticed was that it was produced by ex-Monkee Mike Nesmith and starred a fairly unknown Fred Ward.
The premise basically has a motor cycle rider going back in time to the old west with his cycle and riding gear and well......you get the picture.
It's a fun movie with a good cast even if the ending is a bit confusing and dumb if you really think about it, but the biggest disappointment is on this DVD release. Some idiot edited out about three seconds worth of film that just completely ruins the entire experience!
Considering the second market price, please be aware that you will be disappointed! The edit destroys this film and I can't believe that it has not been corrected and re-release with the missing footage.
The film is easily 3 1/2 stars, but this edited version isn't worth a cent!

Great late 70s BMX flick
Added 8/9/2008
This one is a real winner. I saw it as a kid because of all the BMX hype back then and I loved it. Now years later I still love it! They had a low budget but then again they didn't need much to film it when you see the setting. They key to this films success is the casting -great acting. The lead is good and the hot babe paired with him is one of a kind. There is also a surprising amount of solid humor in the film as well. I didn't remember the cracks as a kid but you will enjoy them as an adult.
