Review of Knightriders

What an interesting and unexpected movie. Being in Gen X, I thought I had seen darn near every movie from that era. This one alluded me somehow. needless to say, the slang, clothing and hairstyles most certainly brought me back to my childhood. Ed Harris is probably the most recognizable member of this cast, and portrays the king of a troupe of renaissance fair types, but they've swapped out the noble steeds for motorcycles. The pageantry, the fanfare, and the jousting and battles are all right there. 
We soon learn that the king seems to be taking this more seriously than anyone else, and it creates a rift in the troupe. 
I very much enjoyed the action scenes, as well as the little moments in between some of the side characters. Also, be on the lookout for the writer, Stephen King, and his wife as spectators during the first gathering.
All, this was a nice surprise, And while the last act felt a bit choppy and rushed, I did appreciate Director, George Romero's style and his ability to show not tell whenever necessary.
