An outlaw biker legend is weighing in on the new motorcycle club action drama “The Bikeriders” … saying people will join the life after watching the film, but they better earn their stripes the right way.
We spoke with George Christie — a former president of the Hells Angels of the Ventura chapter of the infamous motorcycle club — and he knows that many young men and women will want to join the big clubs after seeing the feature film… especially since the U.S. They are obsessed with outlaw culture.

But if they don’t join a club and just try to wear a Hell’s Angels patch… George says they could find themselves in big trouble — ranging from a “good scolding to a good spanking.”
He says some people are selling Hells Angels colors online lately… and the people who buy them don’t always know what they’re getting into — especially with the famous diamond patch he shows us.
If you don’t know, ‘Bikeriders’ follows a chapter of the Vandals — a Midwestern motorcycle club — as they go from simply riding around as a group to fully embracing an outlaw lifestyle.
The film features an all-star cast… including Austin Butler, Tom Hardy, Norman Reedus, Jodie Comer, Mike Faist It is Michael Shannon — between others.

It’s based on a true story… and George says he personally knew the character played by Reedus, Funny Sonny, and says Norm killed it.
In fact… we had to ask Christie how he felt about Shannon not learning to ride a bike for the film – and George has an offer for the two-time Oscar nominee. Listen for yourself.
In short… Christie has no problem with the film inspiring people to join motorcycle clubs, as long as they know what it’s about… for real!
