The best motorcycle movies: The Great Escape motorcycle stunt

Debate on Fireblades forum includes many rider and motorcycle topics, one of which is a classic: the best motorcycle movie ever.
Opinions range from the beauty of the South American scenery in “Motorcycle Diaries”, to the hilarity of “Wild Hogs” and 1969 cult film “Easy Rider”.

But my favourite that came up was “The Great Escape” with Steve McQueen jumping a fence on a motorcycle.

Another classic film mentioned with McQueen was “On Any Sunday“.
“The Great Escape” is perhaps not a “motorcycle movie” in the strictest terms, but above we give you the trailer with the closing scenes of McQueen’s famous jump.
