Wow! Fantastic! I'm a kinda "Easy Rider freak" since I was 15 years old, the first time I've watched the movie. Since then I've re watched it thousands of times and now I'm near 49! Once I did it watch it frame by frame to avoid missing one single detail of every scene. That effort that took me hours was rewarded! I could, for instance, spot the filming crew (Laszló Kovacs included, of course) that was atop a pick up driving near Hopper's bike (right before the pissing scene on the roadside. "Don't bogart that joint, my friend. Pass it over to me"... 🎼) reflexed on the chromed bowl on the opposite side of the front drum brake of that same bike. I've also read books about the film, bought the amazing soundtrack and did all sorts of informal research that could be done in various types of sources before and after the advent of internet. So, finding some making of Easy Rider is a big pleasure for me. It's also pretty cool to see how the social enviroment at the Melancon's Cafe in Morganza, Louisiana, was friendly despite the tension of the scene recorded there. 'Men' could be 'at the window' and Wyatt, Billy and George had to leave the place before things got really ugly but the rest of the town was having a pretty good time. 😉 All the best from Brazil and get your motor running. Head out on the high way... ✌
Felipe, loved your commentary. (That type of honesty is quite rare). The highlight for me was when Peter Fonda was casually bantering with the sheriff. As with any movie set, there's bound to be lots and lots of waiting for everybody. In Morganza, no trailers could be provided for the stars, so they hung out like everybody else!
I agree with you. The scene where the trio walk into the diner, and are met with automatic suspicion, especially highlighted by the young, blond sheriff's comments: "What do we got here? Troublemakers?" And to see Fonda and the young actor portraying a sheriff sharing a laugh off screen was nice. I realize that this is just a movie, a portrayal of life in a southern town which may or may not be entirely accurate. But judging from the footage of these people from the town interacting with the cast and crew, it really appears the townspeople were interested and welcoming of the people creating the movie, and really enjoyed the experience!
Sure, I can believe your description of his authenticity, when I reflect back on that scene in the movie. When I think about it, he was really too real just to be acting.
When the psychologist told me that l don't need to go in the army we smoked a spliff and went in a cinema and they played easy rider . I was 19 then now 65 and still rolling the wheels . cheers from Germany
Nice little gem of memorabilia you gave us there! Am I the one imagining Fonda's frustration over Hoppers seemingly endless re-takes though? Nice though to see one of the antagonists sharing some gags with one of the protagonists. Thanks for sharing! Ride on!
Maravilha de imagens registradas . Compartilhei com amigos essas cenas que aqui no Brasil dificilmente alguém tenha um dia assistido. Registro para a memória do cinema mundial. Parabéns.
It's really funny to see the warm "Southern hospitality" on display here, everyone seems in good spirits and friendly to those Yankee hippie interlopers (including the cops!) while the film shows something else entirely different.
You know being born in 61 this was the very first movie that I ever seen and guess what I've been riding these Choppers for years my first one was a 68 Electra Glide now I got a big dog k9 now,I guess no one rides open handed,for those that don't know that's an old term,means no helmet or windshield,not to piss off those that do,but anyways I know what it feels like I always did blessings are all enjoy the ride
In June 1969 I just finished mandatory militaria service in Romania that interesting years Now after 55 years still alive in Canada West. Hard live but < Je ne regret rien >
Comparando aquella época con la de hoy en día todo era más sana no había tanta violencia ni inseguridad y tanta gente y tanto tráfico como hoy en día viva los 60s y70s carajo
I saw this movie in the theater and henry was there. He asked what I thought of it and I said I liked it. He said it was a waste of film. That was Mr. Fonda. He and I had a falling out over cabbage soup?
Wow that was awsom seeing this movie behind the scenes. Love it
!!
Love that movie and the music that went with it. Lost count how many times I have watched it🙂
Wow! What great footage! And it's good to see it looks like the girls didn't need a note from their mom after all!
"The man is that the window!" "The man is at the window!"
Wow! Fantastic!

@@chrisfreeman9960The sheriff was the real deal not an actor.

Epic film! Timeless!

@@daveyvane You calling me a liar?
Awesome, just now viewing on this 53rd anniversary of the movie.
Man , this is Priceless 💎
Nice Memories ! 😎
Fantastic! Someone should reach out to Jack Nicholson's publicist and give him a heads-up about this film. I'm sure Jack would love to see it.
great stuff! Thanks for posting. I have 2 movie posters on my garage wall, and the Franklin Mint models of the bikes :-)
i loved this movie..
How cool is this?!!!!!

What's that red bike on the left in the first photo? One of the coolest bikes I've seen.
Just wish the movie had a positive ending .
I just bought the DVD ...

Such iconic scene ❤❤ still use memes
was that Ben Hardy on set in one of the early shots?.
Was wondering the same
The shirtless guy looked like he could've been Francis Ford Coppola's brother.
This is fanfuckintastic! Thank you for sharing this

I remember my grandma took my cousin and I to see this in 69 😎🍻
I saw this movie in the theater and henry was there. He asked what I thought of it and I said I liked it. He said it was a waste of film. That was Mr. Fonda. He and I had a falling out over cabbage soup?
Was that fonda bike he was riding
Fonda trying to look cool… Jack don’t even have to try..!
Jack looks so funny with the gold helmet on.
Odd that 2 have to wear helmets and 1 gets away with a soft top.
fonda sucks
Degeneratives
