    OK, I must be mixing my movies up. I thought Viva Knievel was the movie w/ George Hamilton. I never knew Evel was in his own movie! I have to see this one.
    "Do you believe, you believe in magic?
    'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
    Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
    If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

      George was in the bio movie Evel Knievel in 1971

      I haven't seen this movie in ages but i find it interesting that Gene kelly is in it.....kinda a forgotten role for the legendary actor

        Surprising as it may sound...to this day I have never seen this movie. I kind of see Evel Knievel the same way I see the Beatles. As real people, they are far too fascinating to be imitated by actors, so I never bother watching the movies. I would rather watch documentaries on them.

          I do love me some Evel-- Always been a big fan. Begged my parents to take me to see the snake river canyon jump, to no avail. Had to settle for wide world of sports or whatever show it got broadcast on-- I like both "Viva Knievel" and "Evel Knievel". Both super nostalgic. I also have a DVD called "Evel Knievel, Last of the Gladiators", which is a about an hour long doc type of thing with a lot of rare footage...

              Isn't this the one that opens with Evel delivering EK toys to sick kids in the hospital?



              Poster is for sale, if anyone is interested.

                I've only seen the George Hamilton movie too. Cool.
                You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                    You mean this? Evel Knievel cures the afflicted with motorcycle stunts!

                          Wow, even though that was a scene from a movie, I would have loved it if Evel would have visited me and brought me toys!

                            This is one of the more rare Knievel pieces: The Strato Cycle. He rode one in Viva Knievel.

                              Got this one on good old VHS. It has a made for TV quality but good none the less. Love the hospital toy scene too.
