    Storyline

    Edit
    Since childhood, orphan Bobby "Evel" Knievel never could resist risks or keep out of trouble. He's determined to leave the mining town of Butte, willing to try any job or scam. Linda Bork agrees to join his adventurous life. Slowly he makes a name for himself using his gift with motorbikes - as an original, traveling stunt-rider. A nearly fatal jump and fall at Caesar's Palace bring national fame. An unprecedented manned rocket canyon jump proves a nightmare challenge. —KGF Vissers

    2 Stars for hot Jamie Pressly
    If it weren't for Jamie this "movie" wouldn't merit the bother of writing a review. It would have gotten three stars if she had already gotten her implants, but those came later in her career.

    I found this mess in 2021, though it has been around since 2004. I had never even heard of the guy who plays Evel in this ridiculous farce, George Eads. Who? He looks fifty years old from the start, with an extremely fat face and lots of wrinkles, especially thousands of deep crow's feet around his eyes. And his body is too skinny and wimpy, much too small, proportionately, for that ginormous head.

    The movie itself is a boring disaster with very cheap production values, bad writing, awful dialogue, and lots of anachronisms and mistakes.

    Don't bother with this one. No wonder I had never even been aware it existed. And I love Jamie Pressly, and I thought I'd seen everything she had been in.
