More from The Wild One

Trivia

• American rock band, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is named after the famous gang portrayed in the film.
• In 2010, Triumph motorcycles introduced a clothing line inspired by Brando's image from The Wild One.
• The motorcycle jacket worn by Marlon Brando is a Schott Perfecto 618 customized with stars added to the epaulets.
• Brando's sideburns in the film inspired both James Dean and Elvis Presley to adopt a similar look.
• Although it has never been officially acknowledged, the name of the iconic rock and roll band The Beatles was inspired by the name of the motorcycle gang led by Lee Marvin's character.
• Lee Marvin based his character on Willie "Wino Willy" Forkner, a legendary member of the Booze Fighters Motorcycle Club.
• The film was rejected by the British Board of Film Classification and banned due to fears that it would incite the youth to riot. The ban was not lifted until 1967 when it was released with an X Certificate, which labeled it as suitable forviewers aged 16 and older.

Unreal how these guys are just making it harder for all us. They are promoting road rage and distrust of bikers. Life magazine made it hard for bikers back in 1947 with that photo in Holister CA. Still tarnished today. Image the lasting effect by these losers.
