"WILLIE'S SECOND CHANCE” 1961 BICYCLE / BIKE RIDING SAFETY EDUCATIONAL FILM 30994z

[@williamj1813]

Didn't Willie notice he was being filmed while riding his bike recklessly and breaking the safety rules? Golly gee!

[@therealxunil2]

Willie is not too bright.

[@ToddMiller-nl2wn]

Most boys his age aren’t. Sad he had to learn the hard way.

[@damxgopak457]

Looks like a good one for the Rifftrax guys.

[@thomasgoodwin2648]

And all of a sudden he's Captain Dudley Doright! Knows all the rules by heart and... No. No. No. Reality check. At this point he said "I'm never touching a bicycle again. I can do WAY more damage with a CAR!"

What is the history of the silver eagle company

[@tompotter5981]

I love the Cadillac ambulance!

[@marktubeie07]

Trivia time - I enjoy looking up the 'library music' used in these shorts. This time I was surprised to find that all the music uses in this film ware from the WB film soundtrack to the movie 'Auntie Mame' from '61 & a short passage from the film 'Some Came Running' by Elmer Bernstein . I am surprised 'Silver Eagle Productions' were permitted to use such high profile music from Warner Bros. Hmmm, or were they... Interesting none the less...

Wild Willy the headbanger.

[@jaminova_1969]

In all fairness, the car that hit Willie's friend Bobby, blew the stop sign! Maybe they should do a traffic safety film as well!

[@ToddMiller-nl2wn]

Good observation.

[@bennorwood8433]

Can you please find a film or a series of films produced by the Northern Rhodesia information department they are extremely rare to find out all at least as the Internet is concerned but I know they exist and I would like it if you can post some of them on here

copyright 1961 not 1950s... enjoyed it

[@boxcarwillie3560]

So is this the Willie that starred in Spielbergs Goonies?

[@bluejedi723]

his bike repaired itself pretty good

[@JamesSmith-wp4um]

Willie also stared in the industrial movie The Wonderful World of Zinc.

[@wmalden]

Wild Willie rode barefoot. Safe Willie rode with shoes on his feet. MUCH safer, Willie!

[@therealxunil2]

Willie’s bike is too big for him.

Maybe kids would've taken the films like this more seriously if they weren't so corny.

[@Papa-vq3fv]

Willy was a BAD seed period!

[@str8up598]

If you don't like the way I ride - stay off the sidewalk!

[@ToddMiller-nl2wn]

That’s what the Little Rascals said when they were knocking people into the air with their scrap lumber hook and ladder fire engine.

[@stanleybest8833]

Nope. The biggest safety concern is a lack of a front brake. 2/3 of your braking power. This film comes out narrative, but it really misses the point, bad. Thumbs down.

[@volvo09]

Old bikes were sometimes rear brake only, especially cheap bikes. It was pretty common.

[@stanleybest8833]

@@volvo09 Is that going to make someone's kid safer ?

[@thomasgoodwin2648]

@@volvo09 Back in the good old days when toys still had teeth. Then again, so did I.

[@NipkowDisk]

@@volvo09 Exactly. My single-speed bike had only a coaster brake; having the chain come loose was not a very pleasant experience but you could still stop the bike by placing your heel against the rear tire.

Willy needs an ass wwhippin.
