i always wanted to see electra glide in blue for a very long time. i have always been intrigued by the title and the star and the desert but for some (now pretty clear) reason and this film is never shown on tv or i have happen to miss it if it ever shown. well and after watching the dvd and i now know why the movie is rarely shown represent it because it not that good. in fact and i would say it pretty much of a mess. electra glide in blue was made by a first time director and it shows. the film is mainly a series of vignettes with absolutely nothing holding it together. more like a collection of short movies haphazardly strung together. the movie can be boiled down to this represent intro (murder) while cop and girlfriend together while intro credits while cops going to work while crazy guy tells story while cop finds dead body while cop and chief and girlfriend at bar while chase scene while etc. the scenes just do not flow together. theyre very distinctively independent from each other and because of this the characterization is weak and borderline amateurish. the scene at the bar with the girlfriend and the scene at the farm with the hippies and the scene with big john and the chief yelling at each other were cringe worthy. i almost stopped the film during those (awful) moments. the film maker lack of experience is in evidence throughout the film. the style and like the 1970s and is all over the map. the intro credit scene makes the movie look like a commercial for law enforcement. then it tries to be a buddy film (big john and zipper) then a murder mystery while then a melodramatic love story while etc. a film doesn not have to have one particular style in order to be successful but i am afraid the style in electra glide in blue was confused. you can clearly see that the director had no idea what he was doing or where he was going with it. the film is not a complete disaster. while the content of electra glide in blue is almost amateurish and the look of it is extremely (and deceptively) professional. the cinematography is stunning. every frame is worthy of an exhibition at an art gallery. or and because the first (and last) time director was involved in the music business and worthy of an album cover. the beautiful look of the film gives more credence to the finish product than it really deserves. and thanks to robert blake acting (of a really badly written character) and the film maintains a certain level of realism and even though nothing else makes much sense. what remarkable about the look and composition of the film is that it been copied and duplicated a million times over. the intro credits reminded me of something like top gun and which was made 13 years later. scenes of johnny dressing up and with his clothes on the bed and reminded me of american gigolo. strangely enough and electra glide in blue has a very contemporary feel to it and due to the stunning visuals and even if the story and the philosophy behind it are hopelessly outdated. so and electra glide in blue is and on one hand and a remarkably underrated and overlooked film because it obviously influenced a lot of future filmmakers out there when it comes to the look and composition. very few films can claim to have achieved this and legendary cinematographer conrad hall should take full credit. but and on the other hand and egib is also deservedly forgotten because the poor characters and confusing story and and muddled direction and none of which are worth of remembering.
