The Chopper Challenge celebrates the master craftsmen who create the most sought after custom motorcycles in the world. Nine builders, nine brands and the creation of nine magnificent machines. Each week, a celebrity bike builder designs and builds a sponsor-inspired, fully handcrafted, custom logo-branded motorcycle. Nine of the best custom motorcycle fabricators are challenged to build a custom motorcycle, with parts provided to them, with a theme of the bike provided by the show's producer. A winner is chosen by audience votes. Some of the best bike in the world are created. Filmed in 9 custom motorcycle shops, in 10 locations on the west coast, The Chopper Challenge is an insiders look into the world of custom motorcycle fabrication.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
