Leave your thoughts about Knightriders.
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.A one of kind genre entry only Romero is capable of. |
| The DissolveNoel MurrayThe brilliance of Knightriders—and it is a brilliant film, even though no one paid it much attention when it was released in 1981—is that Romero clearly identifies with King William, yet doesn’t lionize him. |
| NewsweekJack KrollThough Knightriders is absurd when you get right down to it, its absurdities are often fun and far less offensive than the solemnities that Mr. Boorman has dished up at far greater expense. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeWay overlong romanticized nonsense about bikers. |
| CineVueAdam LowesIt's hokey as hell in parts, and the director sometimes shows an uncertainty in tone (resulting in some performances which are pitched a little too broadly) but those imperfections lend an endearing quality to the film. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyThough Knightriders is absurd when you get right down to it, its absurdities are often fun and far less offensive than the solemnities that Mr. Boorman has dished up at far greater expense. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonThe angle is unique enough to make this worth a viewing, and it's nice to see top makeup artist Tom Savini given such a sizable role. |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerHarris embodies his character with such conviction that the character's struggle to retain the integrity of his dream ultimately exudes a modest poignancy. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittKnightriders is overlong and at times fairly undramatic, but for viewers who stick with it and accept the premise, there is much of interest to be found here. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsShane BurridgeIt's only when Romero is aware of what he's up to that the film has its clunkiest moments |
