Les impitoyables

I caught this on cable and--although I have no connection to bikers whatsoever--I ended up not turning the channel and watching the whole thing through. It's definitely what you'd call a genre piece but it's a lot more enjoyable than you'd imagine. If you can take it as just a cool piece of Americana of a certain time and place, you'll have fun.

The story begins in Sturgis, to introduce the characters and their culture, but quickly moves to the South for the majority of the plot. Our hero, Bone, must help an old friend raise money to save his small plot of family land--which happens to be on beautiful Southern wetlands--from the control of developers. He meets dangers and love along the way, as well as gaining an appreciation for the environment and a new sense of home. The characters are pretty much what you'd expect (i.e., not models of complexity a la French New Wave), but the biker characters are actually really appealing and attractively acted.

Also, the town being portrayed is spelled Beaufort (South Carolina), to be irritatingly pedantic and add a slight correction to the summaries above.

This movie is the best. I am a little bias though because my daddy and my uncle and aunt were extras in it. Well it is a really great movie. I think everyone should watch it at least once. I love everything about it. It really shows just how nice people can be and just how rude and judgemental people can be at the same time. Plus there are some fine people in it. i think anyone who has seen it most likely really liked it. It is really hard to find now and if any one could help me find it rather cheap that would be great if not my daddy has a copy i guess i could just record his but i would like to have my own thanks. and remember you should watch this movie if not because you like bikers but because of the hot people in it.

A very underappreciated independent film from the early 1990's. Although at times it can feel like a made for TV movie, I love this film with all my heart.

(Andrew Divoff) stars as Bone, a lone biker who doesn't want roots anywhere. And with his biker buddy Bear tries to help their friend Ironbutt played by (James Gammon) save his wetlands from growing corporations.

The acting can get kind of cheesy at times, but the story is good and entertaining. The small town hates the bikers, but they won't leave until they've helped their friend. They even throw in a little love story to boot. A great film to check out.

I have been on a business trip to India in 2007 when I saw this movie on HBO. As a biker I was immediately thrilled by this movie.

Back in Germany I tried to get a DVD but there was nothing available. Somehow disappointed I started a last attempt and I got a VHS in the US.

In the meantime I have installed a regular "movie evening" with my bro's starting to have a barbecue. After having enjoyed dinner we are all watching this film.

Thanks for this really great biker movie - it shows the attitude towards life a biker should have. I love it!

I really got caught in this movie, it has such a great explaining of the "Biker Culture" as it is and not for people to confuse with Biker gangs like HA or Bandidos. I'm into the biker culture so I know, the movie has a good Love story to it too. I can only say it's worth seeing!!!... Unfortunatly I have a real hard time to get a hold of the movie here in Sweden though... I really need to get a hold of an own copy of it... Rent it or Buy it, it really great!
