He always creeped me out as a kid”. This made me laugh because the Goonies was my favorite movie as a 7-year old. Made sure to explain to her about how there was a Goonies 1 game for arcades that followed the movie almost to a tee and sloth wasn’t even in THAT one.

My uncle was into BMX and even made a replica of the ramp Cru is trying to backflip on. BMX Bandits has its place, but I think taking riders and having them act was better than taking actors and trying to turn them into BMX riders. Soundtrack is great on Rad, the stunts are great, the riding is real, and yeah maybe it's a nostalgia trip for me, but it's still worth watching if you haven't seen it.

@@justysilverman but remember, Send Me an Angel was sung by Real Life, not Real Talk.

These guys didn't know about BMX until Jackass came out? Too busy playing video games. I'm about the same age as these guys, not sure how they could have missed BMX bikes growing up. Mongoose was huge in the 80s. It sucks now, but back then was the prime of BMX biking.

BMX is alive and well. Like anything else, you have to know where to look for the good stuff. A bunch of 80's pros still ride today and enjoy it as much as ever.

My friends and I used to ride our BMXs all day and gather at one of our houses and game all night. We watched RAD and Ghostbusters every weekend. Good times.

You HAVE to watch the 80's skateboard movie THRASHIN' if you haven't! It has so many big/cult actors and a live performance by Red Hot Chilli Peppers!

That guy on the far left needs to get KO'd. This movie is a classic if you grew up then, besides, Lori Loughlin.. She was the original Kelly Kapowski

It’s great 80’d nostalgia..that I saw 5 years ago and loved. Go watch Rug Rats the movie, if you don’t like it.

"Cause there's thunder in your heeaaarrrrrt. Every mooooove is like liiiiightning!" 🤘🏻🙌🏻🎶

Yeah the 80's had BMX Bandits, Rad, and Pee-wee's Big Adventure for BMX. Also, Rad has Send Me an Angel which was in The Wizard also a classic.

You should do a chopping mall or gleaming the cube episode

Bmx bandits was trash! RAD is great cult film loved it as a kid my son now loves it & I always though that Rod and Todd could have been cast as the Gi Joe Cobra twins.

Yeah east coasters talking about SoCal culture, they just don't understand how huge this movie is.

I agree it's cheesy, but it's also totally awesome! When I was 7-9 years old, I probably rented this movie 200 times... I injured myself many times attempting to emulate the tricks performed in RAD... I saved for years to buy a Haro because of this movie! I liked BMX before RAD hit, but this movie made my love for BMX eternal, because it's woven into the fabric of my childhood.

That paperboy the hard way video is classic, nice to see it get a plug in Rolfe's rad rental store...i've never seen the movie though

Lori Loughlin looked pretty cute back then.

@abortioncritical yeah, like your mom

I love spending Friday afternoons at the Cinamassacre Video Store

I was born in 1980. Where I grew up in New York this movie was like a holy grail. We were all big into Mongoose bikes with the spokes for tricks on the back tires. None of us were any good, but we idolized this movie for some reason. The bike dance scene...wow. Edit: Fun fact....Talia Shire actually owns the rights to the movie and has tried to shop around for people to make a sequel.

I'm so glad that you guys decided to make the review series. It's brilliant fun.

You guys neeed to do Thrashin now

Oh baby I love these videos! God I miss renting movies with my kids! We literally went every Friday and loved it. Miss those days

The 1980's: The Golden Age of Cheese

Also see 'The Dirt Bike Kid' (which came out around the same time as Rad). There's 'Gleaming the Cube' and 'Thrashin' if you want 80's skateboarding movies. I remember the 80's and early 90's being big on skiing movies too.

I ride BMX and this was my bible growing up.

Beat me to it.

I remember going to an ‘80s’ night at a local brewery and they played a double feature of Thrashin’ and Rad. Those films definitely resonate with some ppl

Seems like a lot of the points these guys “came up with” were lifted directly from The How Did This get made podcast from a few months ago on Rad. Same thing with the Surf Ninjas review.

Ok guys, I was 13 when this movie came out, and it was amazing!! I loved it. BMX was hot at the time.There were freestyle comps and dirt track races all over the place. I remember going to the bookstore and begging my mom to buy me a BMX magazine. Everyone in school was talking about this movie and loved it! This is a movie , that if you were a teen in the 80's YOU 100% KNOW AND LOVED THIS FILM!! This wasnt some unknown movie that no one knew about! Skatrebording was getting big at the same time too. Tony Hawk was skating for Powell Peralta with the legendary Bones Brigade. This was a convergence of pop culture that would eventually lead us to the X Games. Any way, if you talk about rad you gotta talk about thrashin !! They go so well together. I fell you cant talk about one with out talking about the other. They need to be box set..lol

I remember BMX magazine being my go to at the library. I had a bunch of skateboarding shirts. However, I nether skated or rode bmx. It was so cool, but nobody I knew did ether. I also lived in Southern Oregon so it was not a dense urban environment in th 80s. Cheers!

I was born in 79 so I remember this movie being a pretty big deal growing up (even though I never saw it) and skate boarding was pretty popular in the 80's far as i remember

One of my favorite movies of all time. The reason I owned a mongoose. I probably watched it 100 times.
