Evel Knievel Storyline

Since childhood, orphan Bobby “Evel” Knievel never could resist risks or keep out of trouble. He’s determined to leave the mining town of Butte, willing to try any job or scam. Linda Bork agrees to join his adventurous life. Slowly he makes a name for himself using his gift with motorbikes – as an original, traveling stunt-rider. A nearly fatal jump and fall at Caesar’s Palace bring national fame. An unprecedented manned rocket canyon jump proves a nightmare challenge.

Evel Knievel Movie Reviews

2 Stars for hot Jamie Pressly

If it weren’t for Jamie this “movie” wouldn’t merit the bother of writing a review. It would have gotten three stars if she had already gotten her implants, but those came later in her career.

I found this mess in 2021, though it has been around since 2004. I had never even heard of the guy who plays Evel in this ridiculous farce, George Eads. Who? He looks fifty years old from the start, with an extremely fat face and lots of wrinkles, especially thousands of deep crow’s feet around his eyes. And his body is too skinny and wimpy, much too small, proportionately, for that ginormous head.

The movie itself is a boring disaster with very cheap production values, bad writing, awful dialogue, and lots of anachronisms and mistakes.

Don’t bother with this one. No wonder I had never even been aware it existed. And I love Jamie Pressly, and I thought I’d seen everything she had been in.

Kinda Dopey

I wonder if the real Evel had anything to do with this? Not only was it nothing like what really happened, the movie also used many props that just did not exist! Like the Ceasars Palace jump in ’68, Evel is wearing a full-face style of helmet that didn’t even exist then! And the music in the background that was playing..Call Me the Breeze, by Lynrd Skynrd was a 1974 song! Was this movie supposed to appeal to todays kids only?

Because if it was, then these important facts don’t matter!

Just like the battery flashlights in the 1997 movie Titanic! At least the always scrumptious Jamie Pressley was in it and looking fine!

Evel Knievel 2004

Wow. This movie is so gosh-darn awful I’m not sure where to begin. Production costs must have soared into the thousands, from the look of this cheap-by-1978-movie-of-the-week-Aaron-Spelling-standards. If you are even a modest fan of pop culture history, you will notice horrible gaffs all over this thing (The Ideal Toy Company segment of the movie, wherein toys not yet available until the end of the 70’s are on display in 1971), the ages of his children in the 60’s sequences, all kinds of dopey crap. This movie purports to be more of a true portrayal of Evel’s life than the George Hamilton flick from the early 1970’s. It was not half as entertaining as the Hamilton movie and fairly glossed over and skewed in so far as depicting Evel’s actual career. The jump shots remind me of some of the really cheap stuff you might have seen on Happy Days, where we get to see the Fonz’s view of a jump as he sails over it. The History Channel has an excellent documentary hosted by Mathew McConaughey. It’s loaded with actual Evel interviews and tons of footage of jumps that I hadn’t seen since they aired in the 70’s. Please rent/go see this documentary. Shows every aspect of Evel. Or, rent the Hamilton movie for its camp and fun value. Bypass this ridiculous piece of @#$%. Jeff Graham-Tulsa, OK.
