Easy Riders, Raging Bulls: How the Sex-Drugs-and-Rock 'N Roll Generation Saved Hollywood is a book by Peter Biskind, published by Simon & Schuster in 1998,[1] about ostensibly the 1960s and 1970s Hollywood, a period of American film known for the production of such films such as The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, The French Connection, Chinatown, Taxi Driver, Jaws, Star Wars, The Exorcist, and The Last Picture Show.

He describes it as "little more than a means to save a land deal that was going wrong, by dragging some punters up to his [Robert Redford's] failing ski resort."

[4] Critic Roger Ebert reported Steven Spielberg saying of Easy Riders, Raging Bulls: "Every single word in that book about me is either erroneous or a lie.

[9] In a 2014 interview, Biskind stated he found the negative responses "very upsetting," saying, "Coppola...made three great movies, the two Godfathers and The Conversation.

Biskind claimed he and Coppola made amends on a cruise in 2000,[5] though eye witnesses in the cruise stated that Coppola "grilled" and "needled" Biskind with "hostile questions," rendering the author "visibly uncomfortable," and that the director concluded with the words "I forgive [you]" in the manner that, in Godfather II, Michael Corleone forgives his brother Fredo right before he has him murdered.
