1970s

 

Since the 1980s bikes have been appearing in many more films to add excitement but not much more to the real plots of many films. Many more documentaries and television shows (like American Chopper) also became popular. Producers found that they could make documentaries on biker events, often sexual, or more adult films with biker titles, to cash in on motorcycle interest. See films by year at motorbiker.org to see how many more films he has listed for these decades

Biker Movies of 2000s

Radical Jack

2000  Radical Jack “Jack Reynolds (Billy Ray Cyrus) is a drifter with a motorcycle, lots of tattoos, and a good right hook who gets a job tending bar in a small Southern town. A powerful and ruthless illegal arms dealer has much of the town in a stranglehold, and when Jack draws the attentions of Kate (DeDee Pfeiffer), the woman the dealer loves, Jack finds himself doing battle with the dealer's henchmen. But what no one in town knows is that Jack is a former CIA operative whose wife and children were killed years ago while he was trying to put the dealer behind bars -- and Jack is not the sort of man who is willing to forgive and forget” - allmovie.comIMDb Biker?  Just in the cover art and opening scene, then the Sportster is never to be seen again.

But it did get me to see this excellent relationship film

2003 Tomb Raider: the Cradle of Life " Good movie, not as good as the first one, but still very watchable. Nice motorcycle riding sequence. Lots of stunt work."
Lone Hero

2002 Lone Hero Canadian made for HBO Lou Diamond Phillips, Sean Patrick Flaner
“Standard story of a biker gang taking over a town. The story starts with Phillips and a cohort robbing a store and injuring a salesperson. The bikers tell everyone in the store that if any one tells who committed the crime, the gang will take revenge on them and their families. Flanery nonetheless proceeds to arrest them with a gun filled with blanks when he next sees them. The gang breaks their leader out of jail, killing the policemen in the process.”  Imdb.com   This is a modern, I think well done, telling of the old formula of biker gang and justice.  Phillips is more real and menacing then those in past as there is none of the jive hippy talk.

Leather and Iron

2002 Iron and Leather also released as Screaming Metal
“John Telliman, a rich lawyer who rides bikes on the weekends, falls into some trouble with a gang of outlaw bikers and gets a case in his possession that will only bring him misery. So...what's in the case, and why do they want it?” IMDb.com

The Last Chapter

2002 The Last Chapter Canadian TV mini-series
“It's The Sopranos on chrome-plated choppers in this bloody saga of a ruthless biker gang's fight to dominate their vicious outlaw world. Michael Ironside stars in this landmark miniseries that kept international audiences riveted with its in-your-face portrayal of ambitious criminals at each other's throats as they battle for wealth and power.” DVDempire.com. The Godfather of biker-drug films maybe more on the drug side than true biker gang. Won awards. Like History Channel on HA in Canada.

 Tattoo, A Love Story

Apr. 2002  Tattoo a Love Story
“Sara, a straight arrow schoolteacher, meets Virgil, an easygoing tattoo artist, and finds herself choosing between her comfortable life and a life of freedom and adventure.” IMDb.com
More of a biker lifestyle film as this biker tattoo artist opens the naive teacher to the world beyond her experience.
One of the best positive bike flicks.

comedy 2002 The Sweetest Thing
Club-hopping hottie Christina (Cameron Diaz) learns she must temper her voracious wooing approach when she sets her sights on baffled quarry Peter (Thomas Jane) and tracks him to his brother's wedding with her best friends (Christina Applegate and Selma Blair) in tow.

Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious) directs this high-octane, action-packed thrill ride.

Grand Theft Parsons

2003 June ‘04  Grand Theft Parsons “There are times when it's right and proper to simply bury the dead. This is not one of those times... Gram Parsons was one of the most influential musicians of his time; a bitter, brilliant, genius who knew Elvis, tripped with the Stones and fatally overdosed on morphine and tequila in 1973. And from his dying came a story. A story from deep within folklore; a story of friendship, honour and adventure; a story so extraordinary that if it didn't really happen, no one would believe it. Two men, a hearse, a dead rock star, five gallons of petrol, and a promise. And the most extraordinary chase of modern times” IMDb.com Weird but ?True

The Brown Bunny

2003 The Brown Bunny
“Professional motorcycle racer Bud Clay heads from New Hampshire to California to race again. Along the way he meets various needy women who provide him with the cure to his own loneliness, but only a certain woman from his past will truly satisfy him.” IMDb.com I thought the movie was going for the loneliness of being a racer. Lots of road trip, not much bike action, just strange. More like a 70s style film.

Action 2003 Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle
In director McG's sequel to the hit reboot of the beloved television classic, the Angels (Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu) are charged with finding a pair of missing rings that are encoded with the personal information of members of the Witness Protection Program.

Sept  2004  The Motorcycle Diaries
“The dramatization of a motorcycle road trip Che Guevara went on in his youth that showed him his life's calling.” IMDb.com In Spanish with English subtitles.
