Richard Hammond Meets Evel Knievel

2007 · 60 min Documentary
4.2 / 10 · TMDB

The documentary is based around the Evel Knievel Days event in Butte, Montana. The presenter, Richard Hammond, spends four days with former motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel. Knievel, by now 69 years old, had become very ill, requiring an oxygen tank strapped up to him constantly to aid with breathing. 48 hours before the film crew arrived, Knievel had a stroke. At several points during filming, Knievel cuts the interview short and leaves before Hammond has finished asking questions.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a portrait that relies on the stark contrast between a legendary past and a frail present. It explores not the stunts, but the personality trapped within its own myth, constantly evading the interviewer.

What lingers after viewing is not excitement, but a raw, uncomfortable testimony about the cost of fame and a final encounter with a fading icon. It's a poignant and unvarnished document. — MovieFinder Editorial
