Twenty years in the past, and on the ripe age of 11-years-old, I used to be obsessive about two issues: Britney Spears’s In The Zone album, and the motion film Torque.

You’ve doubtless heard of the previous piece of artwork, however the latter movie is severely underrated. Directed by Joseph Kahn (who additionally did Britney’s “Poisonous” video), the movie facilities round a biker (Martin Henderson) who’s on the run from numerous different rough-and-tough bike dudes. Principally, there’s a number of medicine and homicide concerned—however don’t watch it for the plot. This B-action film is my secret-favorite due to the costumes. Particularly, the smooth biker put on, worn by solid members reminiscent of Monet Mazur, Ice Dice, Jaime Pressly, and Christina Milian.

Costume designed by Elisabetta Beraldo, Torque is just not the kind of film that generates Oscar nods—however it’s fairly to have a look at. 20 years later, I can’t assist however suppose again fondly on the limitless wardrobe of leather-based jackets. Because the characters race by the streets of their numerous high-speed bikes, they don edgy moto types adorned with colourful racing stripes. The style is full-throttle, child! It had such an influence on me that, after watching it, I wore certainly one of my dad’s leather-based bombers round the home nonstop—considering that I used to be a cool biker dude, too.

In my very professional opinion, one of the best scene within the film is when Mazur and Pressly’s characters face-off in an epic bike race-slash-fight; Mazur dons a skin-tight blue, purple, and white leather-based zip-up jacket, whereas Pressly, the movie’s resident dangerous lady, is in head-to-toe black leather-based (with chunky highlights, clearly—it was 2004.) In one other scene, Milian rolls up sporting a cropped purple Von Dutch halter with skin-tight leather-based pants. Equally to the Quick & Livid movies, the biker babes are all dressed to kill; There’s a cool nonchalance to the best way they clad themselves solely in leather-based, as if they’re prepared for a rip round city at any given second.
