Three London motorcycle couriers Fred (Gary Stretch), Tyg (Geoff Bell) and Grouch (Phil Daniels) set off from the capital in search of an elusive hippy and his cannabis farm in the Welsh mountains.

Originally intended as a nice weekend in the country, Fred has now found himself making a promise to his old friend the Chairman that whatever situations arise he will not return empty handed. Grouch has also made a promise that come Monday morning he'll be moving himself and his belongings into his new found love Lucinda's flat, and finally making an attempt at the world of serious relationships.

As for Tyg, no such pact. This is a man who's never been further than the outskirts of London, and as far as he's concerned an industrial unit near Heathrow Airport is pretty much the back of beyond. No, Tyg's out to explore; to broaden his horizons; to lose any ignorance and soak up the hospitality of another nation. But, what are those wild beast noises coming from the woods and why are there two gangs of bikers in the area about to settle an old score?

Throw in a seven foot, masked, lovesick Russian wrestler and things could really get out of hand. That said, it may also have something to do with the wild mushrooms they had for breakfast. It's a three and a half hour journey from London to the Welsh mountains, but for Fred, Tyg and Grouch it's just about to turn into the trip of a lifetime.

 Best British Film so far this Century

| | See all Doris7's reviews (1)

I love this film. It is certainly the best British comedy I have seen in a long time. I can understand why it's distributors seem to have marketed it as a biker movie but it's appeal is far wider. Here are characters we all know or have come across with personal stories/dilemmas that are fairly universal. I know a 'Grouch' and I reckon there are loads of 'Marl's' around in all walks of life! Fred's journey I found quite moving. The character observation is spot on, the dialogue well-written and the film is so,so,so funny! The shop scene has to be classic in anybody's book. From this point on the film takes off, was over too soon and left me wanting more. Great casting of Peter Bowles sans moustache as the gangster-type at the beginning. Great to hear an original soundtrack.... I want to buy the cd, the music was so good. Well, you can tell I'm a fan. I thoroughly recommend this film. Definitely one for a good night in.

I cant really add to anything others have said, other than it is easily, by a welsh B-road mile, the best British movie since Withnail and I. Yes it is that funny. Bikers, stoners, festival goers, and anyone who ran out of stamina, settled down, and wants to take a trip down memory lane, will all take this movie to their hearts. The pub and shop scenes are enough alone to make it worth buying, but when there is so much more thrown in besides, then to not own this movie is an act of sheer lunacy.

This is a total blast from start to finish. A biker of many years it took me back to my misspent youth and made me want to get into my leathers and head for the open road. This is destined to be a cult movie. Get it!

 Absolutely Brilliant

Was lucky enough to be invited to the premier with the stars.
Bloody fantastic film, great cast, brilliant directing, excellent sound track.
The best film I have seen for a long long time. A film you can watch over and over again.
I have seen this film twice already, once at the premier and once in the cinema but must get the DVD so I can watch it as I choose.

Lucky enough to be married to one of the actors.

I wonder when the sequel will be filmed.

As a massive Zulu fan, I loved Freebird just for the mass brawl scene at the films climax and it's great to know what happened to Jimmy the mod after he crashed his scooter in Brighton at the end of Quadrophenia! (yes I know it's not a sequel but not inconceivable that Jimmy swapped sides is it?) The 3 central characters work really well and there's some great knockabout, dope induced dialogue that Cheech and Chong would be proud of.
All in all a very entertaining watch that isn't just for bikers, Zulu or Quadrophenia fans and I for one will be holidaying in Wales in the near future (sans motorbike but hopefully in the old guy at the end of the film's caravan....Arthur Brown, welcome back to earth!).
