“If you take a movie like Easy Rider which everyone counts as the beginning of New Hollywood, that is a big movement. And then, when you really dissect that film and the people that were behind that movie, you realize that it has Roger Corman written all over it. Easy Rider is a hybrid film, taking The Trip and The Wild Angels and making a new explosion. And the people that were making it, guess what, they were all [people who had worked with Roger Corman].” PeopleIfsBigsFilmEasyRealizingBehindsWrittenMovementAngelHollywoodOver ItExplosionsRogerRidersHybridEasy Rider Author:Alex Stapleton
“Peter Fonda was just this clean, cookie-cutter kind of a guy. Roger Corman turned him into the motorcycle man with The Wild Angels. Jack Nicholson, all of them, they all had these images that Roger Corman fueled, and Easy Rider, it was a big surprise to understand how much creative influence Roger had. A lot of people dismiss him as just launching famous people's careers or being a penny pinching producer, but he's so much more than that.” PeopleMenKindBigsGuyEasyCareersCreativeInfluenceAngelCleanSurpriseProducersPeterCookiesPenniesMotorcycleRogerRidersLaunchingCuttersNicholsonPinchingCookie CuttersBig SurprisesEasy Rider Author:Alex Stapleton
