Bad Ass - Danny Trejo

Decorated Vietnam-vet Frank Vega (Danny Trejo) returns home only to be shunned by society, leaving him without a job or his high school sweetheart. It's not until forty years later when an incident on a commuter bus, where he protects an elderly black man from a pair of skinheads, makes him a local hero, and he's suddenly celebrated once again.

more old motorcycle film from the early 20th century. This time we go back to 1917 and look at two short clips from Michigan. In the first we see some hillclimbing competition. This being done by riders wearing shirts & ties. Watch for a cautionary tale about the harsh consequences of speeding and trying to elude the motorcycle cop.
