The Wild Ride (1960 - Jack Nicholson) Full Movie | Both Black & White and Colorized Versions in HD

I downloaded this movie in SD from the Archive and upscaled to FHD using AI, with 30% facial enhancement for added detail.
After restoring the black-and-white version, I colorized it with soft AI settings, adjusting saturation to reduce red flashes and create a smoother viewing experience.
This movie really struggled with colorization, although watchable, I would recommend the black & white version first.
The full restoration process took over 24 hours to complete.
A short clip at the beginning highlights the restoration work. Skip to 06:36 for the black-and-white version or 01:05:37 for the colorized version.
🔹 Note: Colorization is never perfect, and you may notice occasional red flashes or minor color inconsistencies. For an optimal experience, the original black-and-white version is also included.
"The Wild Ride (1960), directed by Harvey Berman, stars Jack Nicholson, Georgianna Carter, and Robert Bean. This gritty drama follows Johnny Varron, a rebellious and reckless punk of the beat generation who thrives on danger and defying authority. Living life on the edge as an amateur dirt track racer, Johnny spends his days partying, causing chaos, and dragging his friends into trouble. His wild lifestyle spirals further out of control when he kidnaps his best friend's girlfriend, leading to a violent confrontation with the law. The film crescendos in a tragic climax, marking the inevitable downfall of a self-destructive antihero."
