Product Description
Robert Blake "displays a superabundance of magnetism and machismo" (Cue) as a good cop on the ultimate bad bike in this "powerful" (Boxoffice) film featuring "striking action sequences" (Leonard Maltin) and a "bravura rock score" (Los Angeles Times). Set against the breathtaking visuals of Monument Valley this mesmerizing film is your ticket to open-road excitement!The only thing good-hearted motorcycle cop John Wintergreen (Blake) wants is to become a detective to wear a big Stetson smoke fancy cigars and be paid to think. So when he stumbles upon a dead body he takes on the case and proves his stuff! But as soon as he's promoted the corruption he must tolerate makes the Stetson not fit so well and the cigars not taste so good. Forced to confront his own disillusionment Wintergreen heads out on his bike the Electra Glide where he makes another shocking discovery - one that could cost him his life!SPECIAL FEATURES: James Guercio Introduction Audio Commentary by Director James Guercio Original Theatrical TrailerSystem Requirements: Running Time 113 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: PG UPC: 027616910066 Manufacturer No: 1006865

 Bad movie, great cinematography! April 4, 2008
Benjamin J. Neiman (Phila., Pa. United States)
I had seen parts of this before, but watched the whole thing through today. I must say, as great as parts of this film are, it nevertheless disappoints on many crucial levels. The acting, (while largely cheesy) is enjoyable in a pic like this. I do enjoy Robert Blake's performance though, even though Detective Harvey is WAAAY over the top!! (the coroner guy was very good also). I definitely see a link to "Easy Rider", and indeed, both films represent a (then) new wave of modern western, even maybe similar in some ways to Peckinpah's "Wild Bunch" and "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia". Actually, as powerful a film as Easy Rider is, I don't think it's a very good film either. But like Elecra Glide, it does invoke that new "take to the highway" consciousness of the counterculture of the early 70's. And as in Easy Rider, the cinematography in Electra Glide is fantastic! The amazing Conrad Hall (the original Outer Limits, and tons of other shows and movies), shows Arizona in all its beautiful glory, this film really looks great!! And it is such fun to see late guitar great Terry Kath and former bassist Peter Cetera from the group Chicago, after all, this was a James William Guercio film). But the pacing, acting, story, and editing are, umm...flawed IMO. Mild recommendation. Great soundtrack, including guitar great Larry Carlton!

Acquitted murderer Robert Blake plays by-the-book hardon of a motorcycle officer who dreams for big status and plain clothes as a detective. Determined and not-so-bright, Blake is perfectly believable as a half-wit over his head.
The murder plot is not so interesting, but the soundtrack, scenic shots of the American Southwest and a superb job by Blake make it all worth a look. A must for fans of 70's cinema.

I saw this movie as a kid and later when it was released on VHS picked up a copy of it. The movie is visually impressive and its style is more like what you would see years later in music videos. Robert Blake is excellent in this quirky yet dark story about a pint sized motorcycle cop whose ambition sees him investigating a murder case. Hippies, pigs, nymphos and detectives with erectile dysfunction are abound.
I liked the movie and just remember it as being something different and not what you normally expected at the time.

This is one of my husbands favorites. And not to let him know, I love it too. You have to watch it to the end, paying special attention to the ending to understand it all, but a great film.
