Last week the movie poster for the eagerly anticipated, Quentin Tarantino produced Hell Ride (which I posted about back in December) was released to the waiting world.
Hell Ride premiered at Sundance earlier this week (and was reviewed favorably, which you can read here) and is a throw back to the 60’s & 70’s style biker movie that promises to be filled with lots of testosterone and violence (or according to the movie review, the three B’s: bikes, beer, and booty!)
According to another recent article on shocktilyoudrop.com, Hell Ride could eventually become a trilogy:
Leave ‘em wanting more. Films with the Quentin Tarantino touch seem to have that effect. Hell Ride may be no exception. Larry Bishop’s revenge tale, presented by Tarantino, premiered last night at Sundance to a sold-out crowd and already those involved in the project have the word “sequel” on their lips.
Co-star Michael Madsen tells us during an interview, “I hope this is going to be a trilogy.” In the film he plays a well-dressed biker named The Gent and it’s a role he’s looking forward to revisiting. “The Gent’s story has not been completely told.”
When we later spoke to writer-director-actor Bishop, we inquired about a possible “trilogy” and Madsen’s desire to slip back into The Gent’s skin, to which Bishop merely sat back, raised his eyebrows over his dark shades and smiled, “Absolutely.”
As of right now, there is no release date for the movie. Dammit.

I liked Q.T.s Death proof! which was a throw back to 60s-70s style car flicks (ala Dirty Mary & Crazy Larry) Looks like this one will be much like the B-movie biker flicks we drooled over years ago. Just to see a bike on the TV or in films was rare. Hell i was a Then Came Bronson fanatic! I see Hopper is in this one, so that should help draw us AARP bikers

I can’t wait for the movie to be released. I am definately a fan of the old biker flicks, and I also was glued to ‘Then came Bronson’ as a kid. Keep us posted on the release date.
