Review of Quicksilver (1986) by Dave A — 08 Nov 2008
My uncle brought this down for me to watch when I was really young and I tried for ages to remember what it was called 'cos the ending was quite thrilling stuff. Kevin Bacon is a Wall Street tycoon who loses it all but finds himself (isn't it always the way?) as a bicycle courier in mid-eighties Manhattan.
Tellingly, he only becomes cool after he loses the sensible yuppie 'tache, grows a mullet and begins favouring waistcoats. Larry Fishburne adds extra cred as rival cyclist Voodoo, and Roger Daltrey sings the atrocious theme tune.
