BMX Bandits – Movie Review

A 1983 movie about… “Two BMX expert bikers and a friend of theirs (Kidman) become entangled with a group of bank robbers after discovering a carton of walkie-talkies.”

Ordered this movie and received it today. Decided to watch it tonight.

Pros…
It’s a movie with a good portion of it involving bikes.
Stars a young Nicole Kidman in her first movie role if you’re a fan.
If you’re a fan of BMX bikes it might be fun to try and identify the different models.
Epic car – bicycle chase scene. I don’t know of any others to compare it to so for now it’s epic.
Made in the 80s & hokey.

Cons…
The bike riding and stunts are lame. At least compared to what’s being done today.
Couldn’t understand a lot of the dialogue due to the Aussie accents.
Not much of a plot.
Guys in short shorts.
Made in the 80s & hokey.

I give it 1thumb shifter down.

My date for the movie also gave it 1 thumb shifter down.

Not for sure what’s up with this DVD I bought. It’s not the original cover and shows an older Nicole Kidman. The video quality is terrible. Maybe this is a boot leg or pirated copy off a VHS.
