It was a hugely influential movie in that it generated a lot of interest in motorcycling. I don't know how well it did in the box office. I visited the US a few years later and made a point of going to some of the locations seen in the movie. I recognise most of the bikes in the pics but need to do some research to ascertain the models - it was a long time ago. -- Last edit: 2008-10-01 00:29:36

It was a big industry for a while based on the influence of a documentary.
