Crocco and James shared a look. James glanced across the seat and looked at his father staring out the window with a distant expression on his face. “I’m not following you, Dad. What do you mean?” James asked. “He’s selling out to a fucking socialist hell hole. He’s throwing away all the blessing of liberty in America, and turning his life over to the will of the Canadian government.” “I don’t know,” James said. “A fistful of Canadian dollars and a little stability doesn’t sound too bad.” William turned

motorcycles used music from the time like Born to be wild. At that time it was very new to be using tracks like that in films. For that reason I give the movie bonus points because it did something nobody ever really did at the time. So the 2 men on the road trip find themselves in all sorts of trouble. The film actually used real drugs in the scenes that depicted them using cocaine and marijuana. To me that's crazy, but I know Dennis hopper had to do with this as he was a user at the time. I even read
