Nothing compares to Romero's "Knight Riders" with Ed Harris. It is very Arthurian in a culturally displaced kind-of-way. It has elements of Renaissance Fairs and the neo-medieval group the "SCA" (Society for Creative Anachronism Inc.) - but amplified for effect with the inclusion of motorcycles. The rumor goes that Romero actually visited an SCA event in the 1970s, about the time of the SCA/MSR split and some of that conflict made it into the movie. It maps the epic struggle between a Quixotic idealistic vision pitted against a decadent modern world. It recreates Camelot's "brief shining moment." It describes perfectly the power of "shared dream." It shows how honorable defeat can win the greatest victory. Patricia Tallman perfectly portrays the superficial "mundane" person immersed in a world she cannot possibly understand. She yells, "Far out!" so often you will want to slap the screen. Her character works better now than ever because it is so dated. She has no place in a world of timeless ideals. It's a deeply moving, sad movie, one that should be appreciated not only for its change of pace (which Romero succeeds wildly), but for its deep, humanistic message. A wonderful piece of filmmaking....Read full review
