Jolie Tops Motorcycle Movie Poll

Angelina Jolie's action-packed motorcycle chase in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider has been named the best two-wheeled movie moment of all time, in a poll by biker fans.

The actress' bike chase in the 2001 hit computer game adaptation topped of a poll issued by U.K. bike insurers Bennetts - beating legendary actor Steve McQueen's iconic on-bike flight in The Great Escape.

Tom Cruise's high-fuelled motorbike adventures in Top Gun was voted in third place, with special effect blockbusters The Matrix Reloaded and Terminator 2 taking the fourth and fifth places respectively.

Jack Nicholson and Dennis Hopper's cult 1969 road movie Easy Rider - which depicts the life of a group of doomed bikers - was snubbed by film fans, failing to make the poll's top five.

McQueen's Widow To Take Part In McQueen Days Festival

11 March 2008 6:18 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Steve McQueen's widow Barbara and his longtime stunt double have been announced as the special guests at the second annual Steve McQueen Days festival in Slater, Missouri.

Devotees of the movie icon will gather in the actor's boyhood hometown on 28 and 29 March to celebrate McQueen's life and work.

Steve McQueen Days is timed around the actor's birthday; the late The Great Escape star would have been 78 on 24 March.

As well as Barbara McQueen and stuntman Loren Janes, fans will be able to meet and greet the actor's longtime friend Richard Martin, who has just produced a documentary on McQueen's life, titled An American Rebel.

The film is based on the book Steve McQueen: Portrait Of An American Rebel by noted biographer Marshall Terrill, who will also be a key speaker during the festivities in Slater.

Highlights of the festival will include a Steve McQueen Lookalike Contest and a Classic Car and Motorcycle Show.
