    The Proud Rider (also known as The Last Ride) is a Canadian outlaw biker film released in 1971. The film was directed by the Polish-American filmmaker Wolodymyr “Walter” Baczynsky (1936-1988)[1]

    Inspired in part by Easy Rider, it stars Michael Bell, Scott Colomby, and (in his screen debut) Art Hindle.[2] The film tagline was "Tough? You bet your..."[3]

    Production[edit]

    Filmed in and around Courtice, Ontario, the bikers (as in other biker films of the era, including Angels Hard as They Come) were played by actual members of Satan's Choice.[2]

    Reception[edit]

    The film "opened strongly" in Toronto but this theatrical success was very short.[4] The fact that the cast included actual bikers was judged as adding a "touch of realism" by TV Guide.[5]
