SYNOPSIS: I have heard it called a cult classic, and I suppose that depends on your definitions of "cult," "classic," and "is." What I will agree is that this movie is about a travelling renaissance-faire-type troupe who style themselves after Arthur and his knights, and who do their jousting (and other combats) on motorcycles (or sidehacks).
The film is a long (150 minutes or so) meditation on the group's development and personality conflicts, ultimately involving a splinter group and a succession battle.
The motorized combat was fun to watch. The other two hours were a little draggy in spots, but almost all of the major female characters (including Pat Tallman in her first film role) do get topless at one point or other -- so there is that.
