Editorial Review:
Sheathing itself in bad taste, this film flaunts its tackiness, its machismo, and its very stupidity, which of course makes for a lot of dopey fun. Harley Davidson (Mickey Rourke) returns to his roots, the LA of 1996 (the film was set in the near future, as it was made in 1991). Burbank has become an airport, a new drug called Crystal Dream is all the rage, and Harley's favorite bar is being torn down. To save it, he and the Marlboro Man (Don Johnson, at his most engaging) concoct an armed robbery that goes awry. Instead of cash, they end up with a shipment of Crystal Dream. Hunted by a drug dealer's goons, the two bark, fight, drink, and squint at each other as they try to get themselves out of their mess. This is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid for the monster-truck crowd, with plenty of breasts, choppers, broken pool cues, and empty bottles. It's impossible to blame this film for being so emphatically trashy; its creators would consider that a compliment, anyway. --Keith Simanton
Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man [Region 2] Reviews:
butch abd sun dance rip off 
2008-08-05 - It is the total rip off of the Butch Cassidy and Sundance movie. They copies the format, the story line and all we got is a big 'HUH?'
A California Cartoon of a movie 
2008-07-23 - A western action movie in the near future of then...
New drugs, old bikes and real tough guys meet
Kevlar and radio tracking devices.
As usually the bad guys take the big fall, but the high dive
in Los Vegas is the real stunt in the movie where they go off the top of a high rise hotel into the deep end of a swimming pool.
The names of the heroes kind of tells you it is sort
of an action figure type movie, like speedracer or transformers...
A guilty pleasure 
2008-04-29 - Let's face it... this isn't a great flick. So why do I watch it all the time. I don't know. The opening sequence makes me want to jump on my bike and ride into the desert. Keep an eye out for the "outrageous" gas prices early in the film (keep in mind that this came out in 1991). You'll either laugh or cry.
Good Flick 
2008-04-20 - I'm not a big fan of Don Johnson, but teaming him with Mickey Rourke was a great idea. A great tale of good friends. Good movie for guys and girls.
Like No Country For Old Men, only good. 
2008-04-06 - Imagine if instead of removing the climax from No Country, they instead removed the plot. And the acting ability. And anything resembling a realistic basis for the story. You would have Harley Davidson and The Marlboro Man. I'll admit there's nothing similar between the two movies other than the fact the protagonists are being chased by a psychopath, but still No Country stank, as did this movie, only this was enjoyably cheesy. Severe minus points for Rourke not knowing how to ride or shoot though... although I guess they could insinuate he has removed the rear brake off his bike... still, Don had no problems.
