Worse cinematic use of a motorbike

I used to think that purple rain was the worst use of a motorcycle in a film… but then I realised it was just a shit film and not the motorcycle use particularly.

I’ve just watched MI:2 and the 2 Triumph bikes are a pleasure to see, but Christ… what a terrible and unrealistic use of such fine machinery!
I recommend you avoid this middle shank of a film, especially if you’re the sort who points agitatedly at the screen saying “No, no, nooo…!”

Are there worse bike bits on celluloid?

Worse than Chips? All those Z1000’s that sounded like, then turned into when jumping, two stroke crossers? :smile:
I proudly say I have never watched a Mission Impossible film!

Edit. Just watched part of that clip and yes, it is way beyond bad :astonished:
I have renewed vigour to stand by my above statement!

Definitely the worst for dubbing a V twin sound for an inline 4 :rofl:

I highly recommend a watch for the comedy value alone just don’t expect to get that 84 minutes back :wink:

Terminator 2 always reminds me of that wee MX with a 113 speed gearbox

I feel the worst bit in the MI film is where the tyres automatically change tread pattern!!
