Made after the zombie classic Dawn of the Dead, George A. Romero’s Knightriders is both clearly the work of the same director (there are lots of familiar faces from his other films) and a marked change of tone. There’s still plenty of action, but it takes the form of jousting by people wearing full medieval armour... while riding motorbikes.

Ed Harris, soon to become a major star, is the leader of a troupe of travelling entertainers trying to live their lives according to the ideals of King Arthur - no easy feat in Reagan’s America, where the outside world and its financial realities constantly encroach on their dreams.

With a memorably eccentric cast of characters (including make-up effects genius Tom Savini in a major role, and a cameo from novelist Stephen King) and a complex, nuanced script, Knightriders is Romero’s warmest and most personal film to date.

Region B/2

Released 22/04/2013

never seen it, look at the trailer and thought it looked crap, but a lot of people are post about how glad they are its getting a release, so might end up getting it, it is Romero, has Ed Harris who i think is a very underrated actor and Tom Savini which are all pluses for me

I thought that this would be my favourite announcment, then Motel Hell happened

This is probably my third favourite George Romero film (behind Dawn and Day of the Dead) and one I've wanted on Blu-ray for ages, so it's a definite purchase.

Here's the trailer for those unfamiliar with the film

Knightriders (trailer - movie by George Romero) - YouTube

Looking forward to this, Recently sold my old Anchor Bay R1 DVD for £40, Well timed :)

I really like that cover, but as always, I'll use the original artwork.

Yep another purchase.
I like Knightriders.

Can't recall anything bad Ed Harris has been in....

The Abyss and The Rock. other than those two he has been pretty lucky.

Ach The Abyss had it's moments back in the day!:)

The Rock?
