Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Like the real-world figure, Kathy originally had children in The Bikeriders, and writer and director Jeff Nichols regrets cutting them from the narrative. The movie is based on Danny Lyon's photobook, which featured scenes from his years of travelling with the Chicago Outlaws Motorcycle Club. While it does not tell the same story exactly, the movie features fictionalized versions of the same characters in similar situations.

one of my biggest regrets of the film. We had scenes of her talking about her kids, but we only had one shot of them. And when I first started showing people the film, it was really distracting. I hadn't involved that family enough to make it integral to the film . It was really distracting and it made people really not like her. But more than that, it was just kind of confusing. They were like, wait a second, where are ? ...

The children were a constant through line in Kathy's life. Failing to include them removed a massive influence that kept her both grounded and realistic. She could not simply be swept away on Benny's bike, because she had children to care for and to care about. Benny, who had nothing tying him down, could see a woman living life as a single mother and who was incapable of just riding away without a thought.
