Easy Rider (DVD)

Easy Rider (1969) starring Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson. After a drug deal in L.A. nets them a large amount of money, two buddies (Fonda and Hopper) set off on a cross-country motorcycle ride, headed for New Orleans and Mardi Gras. Along the way, they pick up a lawyer named George Hanson (Nicholson) and he goes along for the ride. Tragedy ensues. From that point on, the film just gets trippy and weird. In the end, the rednecks win. This movie does have excellent subtitles, however. Even the songs are captioned. Grade: B-
