Leave your thoughts about Viva Knievel!.
| Radio TimesTony SlomanThis amazingly kitsch one-off stars the man himself, a non-actor if ever there was one, in a movie so absurd it simply has to be seen to be believed. |
| Time OutAndrew NickoldsA mountain of self-love, revealing stunt biker Knievel as a saintly combination of Batman and Billy Graham. |
| The SpectatorClancy SigelIf you're into a giggle Viva Knievel! may appall but I don't think will bore you. |
| User ReviewShawn WHeinous scheme to smuggle cocaine in Evel's hauler after another record breaking jump in Mexico. Loaded with intriguing subplots such as Evel's alcoholic mechanic and his estranged son and an initially skeptical feminist photographer soon melted by Evel's charm. Features several stars on a downward slope of their career and a brilliant speech from Evel warning the kids about the dangers of narcotics. Film should give a newfound respect for the daredevil not only as a performer but as a person as well. |
| User ReviewJacob MClearly an Evel Knieval vanity project and a somewhat fascinating one. Leslie Nielsen is the bad guy and it's kind of awesome. |
| User ReviewTim SIt's difficult to consider Viva Knievel an entertaining film, much less deriving any entertainment value from it. It's not a good movie, and those that see it will agree with that. It is, however, a bit of a curiosity, mainly because of its star. The plot of the film itself involves a ring of bad guys looking to kill off Evil Knievel while he performs in Mexico and send back to the U.S. a large amount of drugs in his coffin so that customs and border patrol won't find it. It's a dumb plot, but there are some great working actors in it. You have Leslie Nielsen, Cameron Mitchell and Marjoe Gortner, but you also have Lauren Hutton, who's absolutely terrible in the movie (mainly because her and Knievel didn't get along) and you have Gene Kelly, late in his career. Knievel himself is no actor either, and it's strange seeing a fictionalized version of him with a love interest when he was married and had kids in real life at the time. The film does have several unintentionally funny moments, enhanced by the folks at Rifftrax, but if you're looking for a '70's oddity, then look no further. |
| User ReviewLotti KI didn't think this could go wrong, with such a cavalcade of stars. But it was so boring it forced me to finally set up a Twitter account. 'Nuff said. |
| User ReviewWes SThis film probably isn't as faithful to the real Knievel as it tries to be, which makes him a bit silly at times. Otherwise- it's a pretty long dull movie. The drama isn't that exciting, and the plot is very generic. It never gets as exciting as you'd think it would be. |
| User ReviewAlex CWas Knievel really considered a good role-model for children? C'mon kids, say no to drugs and yes yes yes to death-defying stunts! |
| User ReviewErik PA death defying motorcycle daredevil, Evel Knievel, goes on a tour in Mexico, where a group of drug smugglers are plotting to sneak cocaine past the U.S. boarder in his truck - and his coffin. Starring famous real life daredevil Knievel as himself, and strangely also starring Gene Kelly in a supporting role and Leslie Nielsen as a baddie, this film is a laughable disaster. |
