The Movie is about four culturally different middle aged men looking for an exciting adventure in their mundane lives. The only thing they have in common is their adoration for Harley Davidson bikes.
Woody (John Travolta) wants to leave his troubles behind in the city, Bobby (Martin Lawrence) wants to do everything else besides his disgusting plumbing job, while Doug (Tim Allen) wants to find his old self to impress his son, & Dudley (William H.Macy) was happy to do anything as long as he could connect to internet Wifi “hotspots” during the trip.
Their journey across America began when the four of them wantonly agreed to discard their mobile phones & GPS gadgets altogether. It was Woody’s idea to be fully disconnected from anything that could come between them & their perceived freedom of the open road, traveling by motorcycles towards the west coast. In short, Woody proposed to make the “Wild Hogs” into a real biker gang from their road trip experience.
They camped, rode, rested, ate, stopped, drank etc however & whenever they wanted to without being constrained by any kind of schedule. Everything seemed jolly & hilarious when the Wild Hogs gang was mistaken for a group of “spooning” homosexuals by a “gay” cop.
Things then took a fast turn when they stumbled upon the notorious Del Fuegos “real deal” biker gang. Dudley gets his bike swindled from him by Jack (Ray Liotta), the leader of the Del Fuegos biker gang. Woody, dissatisfied with the situation, stealthily attempted to regain possession of Dudley’s bike. In the process, he cuts the gas lines of some of the Del Fuegos gang member’s motorcycles. Unfortunately for the Wild Hogs members, the Del Fuegos’s bar exploded into a great ball of fire as an end result of his naughty revenge.
In a hurry, Woody rushed his friends forward. In the hustle, they missed the last fuel stop. Soon after, the Wild Hogs members had to push their bikes towards what seemed like an unsure destiny for them. Just when they thought they were probably going to die on the open road in the middle of the dessert, they then found a small town named Madrid.
The Del Fuegos gang, bent on revenge, threatened to burn down Dudley’s girlfriend’s (Marisa Tomei) diner as retribution for their own diner getting destroyed by the Wild Hogs. They demanded that the Wild Hogs pay them $50,000 to settle the problem.
All ends well as the true leader of the Del Fuegos gang, showed up in the nick of time & prevented Jack from further hurting the Wild Hogs team members. The true leader of the Del Fuegos biker gang insured the burnt down bar for twice what it was worth. In fact, the Wild Hogs gang actually did the Del Fuegos’s true leader a favor.
It seemed that the movie revolved around the promotion of Harley Davidson Motorcycles. The quality of the star studded cast actually helped make the marketing campaign subtle & well blended into the storyline without making the movie seem like a very long Harley Davidson Motorcycles advertisement. Fans of high quality comedy movies should not miss watching the Wild Hogs.
