Stanley Kramer (1913-2001) hired real bikers. When one of them was asked what they were rebelling against, he replied, “Well, what ya got” – and this slang term was included in the script.
Lee Marvin (1924-1987) was genuinely intoxicated during the filming of some scenes, and his on-screen rivalry with Marlon Brando (1924-2004) extended beyond the set.
In preparation for filming, Marlon Brando became fascinated with motorcycles and the associated lifestyle again, diligently practicing his motorcycle riding skills and selecting his own wardrobe. The actor also spent a considerable amount of time with real bikers, observing their behavior and speech.
