The Wild Ride 1960 Screenplay by Ann Porter and Marion Rothman, directed by Harvey Berman. The third of the films on the Biker Triple Feature DVD set.
Jack Nicholson plays the spoiled son of a well off family. He's such an asshole and a danger to society. He plays chicken with a cop, the cop crashes and winds up in the hospital. No dash cams back in the day and the cop never regains conciseness before dying. The cops know it was Jack but they can't prove it. He spends the movie acting like an asshole and pushing his weight around. After he kidnaps his best friend's girlfriend and causes the death of his friend, Jack turns himself in to the police. It's a big bag of heavy handed melodrama that isn't that interesting. I'd give it a miss the next time.
