Two lone riders and childhood friends, the rough and silent Harley Davidson and the ragged sun-baked cowboy Marlboro, assemble once more when they learn that their favourite hangout and the place where they grew up, the notorious Rock 'n' Roll Bar and Grill is facing imminent foreclosure. For this reason, against the preposterous demands for a new contract, the two lifelong buddies in unflinching determination to win back the bar, they will decide to hold up the corrupt bank's armoured car, unbeknownst to them that its cargo is not money but a new lethal and highly experimental street drug: the Crystal Dream. Now the bank wants it back and they are unstoppable. Is everything lost for Harley and Marlboro, the two well-meaning but amateurish thieves?
Leave your thoughts about Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man.
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelIt’s engagingly junky entertainment with a healthy sense of its own ludicrousness. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfRourke and Johnson fail to credibly play squinty soulmates, looking as though they hurriedly went their separate ways once the cameras cut. |
| The DissolveScott TobiasPart of what’s made this middling action movie so durable—besides its ready-made “Movies For Guys Who Like Movies” template—is how endearingly uncool Harley and Marlboro are, as a biker and a cowboy who don’t really belong to any particular time and place. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenHarley Davidson and the Marlboro Man is one passable joke stretched out over 98 minutes with nothing in the way of a real movie to support it. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyMr. Rourke and Mr. Johnson handle their roles with more ease and humor than can be accommodated by a movie so stuffed with mindless fistfights, gunfights, helicopter chases, explosions and leaps from tall buildings. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasRourke and Johnson are worthy of better, as is Australian director Simon Wincer, best known for his Emmy-winning direction of the miniseries Lonesome Dove. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Christopher HarrisonFor a while, its crassness is amusing, but as the plot sets in, it gradually turns into a stultifying bore. |
| Portland OregonianTed MaharWhen they part ways at picture's end, Marlboro's parting words are "Vaya con Dios," which translates as "Go with God." I'd put it differently. Go, the both of you. With God or without, but by all means, go. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumThis egregious collection of cock-waving cliches is the silliest piece of macho camp since Roadhouse. |
| Orlando SentinelJay BoyarThe movie's not bad in the action department, especially if you're a perennial fan of the gun shots and verbal quips combo. But it's so cynical, so brazen about its cardboard iconography, so calculatedly cool, that you just start longing for that crystal dream -- any dream but this one. |
