Alright, seriously this will be the last bike movie that I do considering I am running out of bike specific movies and frankly, nothing can top this movie. Yeah, BMX Bandits is pretty much the pinnacle of BMX movies, only because it stars Nicole Kidman in her first movie ever and he is sporting a wicked ginger fro hair thing. Not sure, but that hair has a life of its own in this movie and she is just so wonderful. Oh yeah, BMX Bandits is really just a total time capsule of 80s Day-Glo color wear and campy Australian sensibilities.
PJ (Angelo D’Angelo), and Goose (James Lugton) are bored Australian BMX riders whose bikes have been totaled. Setting off on an intended fishing trip with their friend Judy (Nicole Kidman, in her first big-screen appearance), they stumble instead upon a cache of stolen police walkie-talkies, which they decide to sell for new BMX gear. Unfortunately, the radios had orginally been swiped by a murderous gang of bank robbers, with whom they soon become entangled. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
You know what, you should just watch this amazing movie. By amazing, I mean ridiculous Australian film that was re-released when Nicole Kidman struck it big in America and they thought that they could capitalize on her fame because you know, money. It’s a pretty silly bmx movie where the plot doesn’t really make sense or so asinine that I didn’t care cause those cool BMX kids were fucking doing wheelies all over the joint. The whole island was their playground and they would take those bikes everywhere. Plus day-glo outfits.
Enjoy folks, I got to get ready for our Alamo Drafthouse event in which we watch Zombieland and eat copious amounts of twinkies. They just might be the very last ones on Earth.
