Classic British Motorcycles - Triumph DVD

Advantages: Great british biker movie.
Disadvantages: Not to everyones taste.

...This DVD came out in June 2008, it is the story of 3 motorcycle couriers based in London. It stars Fred, Grouch and Tyg, who head to the welsh countryside one weekend to find an elusive hippy and his cannabis farm. But this ends up as a mission rather than a pleasant ride to Wales. The weekend is fuelled by booze, drugs, air guitaring and a run in with a bike gang. Fred is played by Gary Stretch who is an ex boxer, Grouch by Phil Daniels who you may know from Eastenders and finally Tyg is played by Geoff Bell. The bikes featured in the film are a Moto Guzzi ridden by Phil Daniels, a Triumph ridden by Gary Stretch and a Kawasaki ridden by Geoff Bell. The highlight of the film to me is the standoff of the rival bike gang against our three hapless heroes. This features over 200 assorted motorbikes on top of a welsh hillside, a spectacular...

Advantages: Great film
Disadvantages: Not one for everyone.

...I recently purchased the double DVD version of this, it is the story of three motorcycle couriers from London who plan a road trip to Wales one weekend. The whole purpose of the trip is to find and aging and his cannabis farm, but the trip has a few adventures along the way. The film is 89 minutes long and the additional bonus DVD is a further 154 minutes long. It is a great biker movie which i will do a more in depth review on when i have fully explored both discs. The film itself is great, best described as the british wild hogs. The film wasnt rated at the time of writin but it is now rated as a 15. I have now completed the full review so please rate the complete version, thank you.... Read review

Advantages: Hilarious
Disadvantages: Some people find a little far fetched

...Classic. Thesimply classic comedy that never stops me laughing. The sheer stupidity of some of the things that happen is great, it's something that makes adults and children laugh. I love all things 80's and this is definately a contributor to that, the storyline gets me every time. When so called 'doctors' lose their jobs they turn to the supernatural, helping people with all things ghost related. One job is almost above their skills but obviously, you'll have to watch the DVD to see what happens to them! Bill Murray is a triumph in this film, love it to pieces. Recommended to all teenagers who don't normally appreciate 'older' films, even if the 80's isn't that far behind. And obviously to anyone else that wants to remember this hilarious film....
