Review of Thrashin' (1986) by Bryan S — 16 Apr 2008
Half baked Romeo and Juliet plot as an excuse for filming skateboarders in the mid-80s. ("Half baked" may be too kind, actually. It's sort of Beach Blanket Bingo plus early-80s teen formula with a tiny, bizarre dash of The Warriors.) Josh Brolin in his 2nd role, after playing the big brother in Goonies. Your mission: Find the scene with 13-year-old Tony Hawk skating in it. (A lot of 80s skating greats were stunt doubles for this.).
Update: Added a half store for the great Red Hot Chili Peppers cameo/performance.
