...West. His motorcycle offers him no protection from the bandits' six-shooters, and Swann himself carries no modern firearms. Consequently, none of the other characters in the movie seems too impressed by him. Perhaps the weakness of the plot lies in the fact that it's a motorcyclist--rather than the commander of a tank or the pilot of an F-14--who is sent back in time. In the end of the movie a helicopter--sent by the research company to find Swann--is very nearly shot down by a six-shooter, and we have to wonder what good...
...elements. The story is of the same cali ber: Michael, an English lad (Maxwell Caulfield), falls in love with Stephanie (Michelle Pfeiffer), leader of the T-Birds' hangers-on, the Pink Ladies. Her heart, however, does wheelies for him only when he dresses up as a mysteriously masked motorcyclist, a sort of Lone Ranger on a hawg. He does not reveal his true identity to her until the concluding production number, although the audience is in on the secret all along.

One of them stems from Coleman's report that a motorcyclist had preceded her car on the 15-minute drive to the motel, timing the green lights perfectly. (Could the motorcyclist have been a spotter for the gunman?) Said Young: "We're a long way from the end." But he added: "Remember, it took us a long time to find...
...fantasies in mechanical gizmos, Linda lives out hers in her boyfriends, white knights on motorcycles, who also fall just short of expectations. Frustrated by the sameness, she, too, walks out--to elope with her latest. Of course, her freedom is as unrealistic as her father's (the motorcyclist turns out to be married); like George, she never even discovers her partner's real name. As the two dreamers return defeated, Persephone--George's wife--greets them with dinner for three. She has been expecting them all along...
