Leave your thoughts about The Wild Ride.
| User ReviewTom DEarly Jack Nicholson as a hip streetwise thug throwing around a ton of early 60's era slang, an absolute pleasure to watch. |
| User ReviewKevin DUltra low budgeter starring a VERY young Jack Nicholson as a ammoral hot-rodder. Worth a look! |
| User ReviewDaniel NGreat Juvenile Delinquent Movie, these movies are priceless, the teen angst and peer pressure are classic. |
| User ReviewGreg WKind of mediocre and not to great an ending, just needed more development in the plot. But, Jack Nicholson holds this film up with a great young performance. |
| User ReviewEric MThe best thing about this silly low-budget tale is that it stars Jack Nicholson giving a performance that would be seen greatly improved later on in his career with his Oscar winning role in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. |
| User ReviewKevin M. WJack Nicholson as the alpha male dog of a group of angsty young coastal adults. They livin' the good life, not a care in the world, driving cars fast, speaking their own language, drinking to excess, and sexually promiscuous, to such as these breaking the law is nearly as important as ignoring it altogether. Can these kids be brought to see reason!?!? BTW, the revolution hinted at in films like these didn't come. Just sayin'. |
| User ReviewAj VTerrible story, but a great performance from an incredibly young Jack, he had such great attitude and presence at such a young age, you can totally see shades for his later work, and that made it worth watching. |
| User ReviewDavid ANot really one of Jack Nicholsons best works. None the less he still did a great job in the film. |
| User ReviewDaniel GNicholson plays a wild maniac driver- what a stretch. |
| User ReviewJack GUtter crap for its time period. May have passed for a halfway respectable movie in 1930, but by 1960, even your run of the mill B movie was way beyond this. The only redemption is seeing Jack Nicholson at such a young age. But because of the trash quality of the camera used to shoot the film, even that isn't much of a consolation. |
