Two Old Indians.................


Recommended Posts

Anyone else catch the two motorsickles the two troopers getting whacked were riding on Bonnie and Clyde last night.

 

Just barely showed 'em. One with big fenders and one small fenders. Not sure if that is anachronisticly correct for 1934, but they were plainly Indians.

I saw that and said to my wife, that looks like an Indian! (Even if not period correct for the movie.)

 

In every old B&W movie pre-1955 or so, whenever there is a motorcycle, my radar is on to see if it's an Indian. Somtimes you don't get a very good look at them.

dont watch much TV

 

but skirted fenders didn show up till '40

 

fwiw

That's what I was thinking, that the big fenders was wrong. The identifying item on the small fender model was clearly the horn cover.

Very often movie makers are making this kind of mistakes ..... for ex. The Great Escape with Steve McQueen - the jump was done on a TT Special 650 Triumph , the movie Winchester'73 - the model '73 in fact was a model '94 and so on .......

I thought the bike on the left was an Indian, and the other a Harley.

 

The whole Bonnie and Clyde thing was so inaccurate and rediculous. It was probably one of the worst redo's of about anything I have seen. Both of them looked like they stepped out of GQ. The cars were wrong as were some of the weapons.

 

I was an insult to Faye and Warren.

I know you're right about the show, it stunk.

 

The bike on the left was definitely the Indian with the big fenders. I thought the one with small fenders had a feathered horn cover on it. Could have been mistaken.
