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!
People weren’t sitting around playing on computers or phones back then. Television stations went off the air at midnight. People worked. You didn’t have fast food and pizza joints all over the place. High fructose corn syrup was a word most people never heard of. Big Pharma had not been born yet.
My good friend and Union Brother, Michael ''Chewie'' Pappas worked that film. It was his first movie gig. Lighting [Electrics] i'm guessing. He was 16 or 17. He was from New Orleans. Chewie just passed away. Great guy, We all miss him.
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
I saw the film several times.Always cracked up during the cafe scene when one of the locals referred to Billy,George and Wyatt/Captain America as "refugees from a gorilla love-in."
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🙂
"The man is that the window!" "The man is at the window!"
Epic film! Timeless!
Wow! Fantastic!

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

That's me with the white t shirt and flat top haircut at 5:48
Once in a lifetime ✌️good times
No, that was someone else
@@daveyvane You calling me a liar?
@@Johndoe345-k2d Take no notice,the internet is full of nobody's wishing they had a life !
Lol
Man , this is Priceless 💎
Awesome, just now viewing on this 53rd anniversary of the movie.
Nice Memories ! 😎
i loved this movie..
Top biker movie !!
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.
At least we still got Jack.
How cool is this?!!!!!
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!
giving the girls a ride
Wow!! What a treasure, thank you mom, et al
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!
folks sure were a lot skinnier back then.
The typical Harley riders were
It's called healthy food. No chemicals, dyes, and all the other crap in our food today. Read a package of food today and look up what's in it😳😠

great stuff! Thanks for posting. I have 2 movie posters on my garage wall, and the Franklin Mint models of the bikes :-)
One of my favorite movies! I've been working on a new era Captain America jacket, helmet and gloves. Gotta finish it up and shoot a video.
THE BEST DAYS EVER
best goddamn bike movie ever made

"Let's Split" There's The Man! "Ya, Let's Split"
Thanks to your mom. best regards
Que maravillosa época inolvidable cómo me gustaría viajar atravesó del tiempo y disfrutar me esa maravillosa época viva los 70s
Hombre exactamente .👍

All the cute girls hanging around. bet it was a good time.

What's that red bike on the left in the first photo? One of the coolest bikes I've seen.
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 >

Capt America would be fun to ride, rode my ridgit for over 20 years, but the Billy bike is sweet.
Such iconic scene ❤❤ still use memes
This is fanfuckintastic! Thank you for sharing this
was that Ben Hardy on set in one of the early shots?.
Was wondering the same
“We just wanna be free to ride our machines without being hassled by the man….” 😌
Dopers…..SMH 🤣
That's from The Wild Angels🙂
Isn't Victor French (Bonanza, Little house on the praire, Highway to heaven) the bearded man holding up the child at the end of the video?
I wondered that also. The guy without the shirt. Sure looks like him!
No, not him.
Jack looks so funny with the gold helmet on.
Just wish the movie had a positive ending .
I just bought the DVD ...
the girls got a ride after all
Where exactly is this?
Morganza, Louisiana. Cafe no longer there, just empty lot with a few bricks😞
@ wow….thanks.
Oh nice! The drug movie.
Honda moto pay tribute to Harley from Taiwan 台灣
very cool
Was that fonda bike he was riding
That movie had nothing to do with the Harley Davidson lifestyle. It was a movie about a lot more than that
The shirtless guy looked like he could've been Francis Ford Coppola's brother.
Sure looks like actor Victor French.
At 5:35 lifting up the kid.
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?
And now Jack is like 88 years old and MIA
Fonda took a little dessert to go.
Odd that 2 have to wear helmets and 1 gets away with a soft top.
Who rides a Chinese Harley?
Degeneratives
Fonda trying to look cool… Jack don’t even have to try..!
Fonda is much cooler
fonda sucks
Rubbish film.
I remember my grandma took my cousin and I to see this in 69 😎🍻
A new way of life 😂
