Review of Thrashin' (1986) by Scott S — 18 Oct 2009
Thrashin' (1986) -- [2.0] -- "Thrashin'" is the quintessential bad '80s movie. There's an anemic plot involving two warring skateboarding gangs and a boy who falls in love with the sister of a rival gang member.
It's a goofy "Romeo and Juliet" on wheels, where none of the kids have parents and most of life's mysteries are answered with a good musical montage. Thrashin' is really just a term for 'extreme skateboarding'.
If you're not into it, then don't watch the movie, because there's nothing else in this stinker worth diving for. Not even Josh Brolin. Brolin is a good actor today (he's even got an Oscar nomination under his belt), but in "Thrashin'" he's got the charisma and personality of a petrified turd.
