In the future, every famous person will be a movie star for 85 minutes. Viva Knievel! continues our 85 Minutes Of Fame season with a film starring Evel Knievel acting (unconvincingly) as himself.
As the legendary stuntman travels to Mexico to prepare for one of his greatest stunts yet, he takes time out of his schedule to meet his fans, help out lonely orphans, and try to get his alcoholic mechanic (inexplicably played by legendary dancer Gene Kelly) to reconcile with his son.
While all of this is going on, Evel’s main rival is plotting to have Evel killed and then get rich by using the Team Evel 18-wheeler to smuggle cocaine into America.
So sit back and enjoy the laughs as The Cult Film Showdown jumps twelve school buses in their search for the ultimate B Movie!
