Review of BMX Bandits (1983) by Barbara C — 16 Aug 2009

A fun, if very dated, film kids should love and adults should enjoy. I watched it a week ago, more than a decade after seeing it last and can say it was worth it, just the once. One of the great things about this movie are that the main characters are just teens who want to ride their bikes, not heroes bent on taking out a gang of criminals like so many movies today have children do.

The film is somewhat predictable, the villains border between being cartoonish and scary criminals, and the kids are clueless as to the chaos they're causing, but it is definitely worth sitting down for at least one viewing.
