Audience Member Bobby 'Evel' Knievel! America's #1 daredevil! Gotta be impressed especially when George Eads was playing the part. It shows very clear of 'Evel' Knievel's road to fame. And although Snake River Canyon wasn't a success, it was pretty amazing, and extremely ambitious. Really really love George Eads' acting. He's a very gifted (and too under-appreciated) actor. To say the least, well if you're a fan of George Eads, you gotta catch Evel Knievel. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member George Hamilton made Evel Knievel look like a nut Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I learned a lot about Evel watching this, if its all true, i look up to the man, even to his wife for his relational "problems" (hope she got some 2 ;p) Nice real-life stunt takes of Evel! Good emotional pieces in an great life-story movie! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Damn this was awesome. As a film it sucked but i never saw the jumps of evel and the bravery shown so for just that and the fact its about a complete legend, a "modern day gladiator" who'd stare death in the face....after a few big gulps of whiskey, who'd beat up bikers and critics at his events, who survived a guiness world record of broken bones and still lives....still rides in Florida. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty good for a made for tv movie. Based on the life of Evel Knievel. Could have been a little more exciting though. lol Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review chad r Half of this movie was filmed in my hometown and it still sucks - EK is a jackhole Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
