Love this movie! Bike/dance scene is forever scorched into my mind…”send me an angel..”
Plot Twist: Laurie Loughlin helps Cru Jones cheat on his SATs and he gets into an awesome school.
And there it is. I knew I would find at least one.
😂
Bahahaha
Lol
He gets into a RAD school
I wrote this movie. I am honored by this. Thanks! You really got it.
Thank you! I love the movie and I'm totally flattered you took the time to watch this. I hope it someday gets a bluray release to introduce it to a whole new audience.
That's an unfortunate situation. Your inserts and commentary had me laughing my ass off. Great work.
Thanks for the good times, was born in 1980, so this hit me like a tonne of bricks as a youth! Thanks again! And this guy gets how to review a film!
That's so cool! I go to bowness high school, and would love to see the movie in its entirety. There was actually a mention of the movie in our yearbook this year.
Thank you! You helped make this 80s/90s kid's childhood awesome!
I LOVE THIS MOVIE. The bike dance is a cinematic masterpiece.
LOVED Rad when I was a kid. I watched who knows how many times.
I remember those days too, when you could find comics at places like drug stores!
We're old!
Those comics are probably worth thousand by now lol
Yes !! Next to the 1 or 2 arcade machines.
Thanks! The soundtrack elevates this to a level of awesome! I miss the 80s.
8:28 Are you serious? She is saying that they opened and dumped out 2 cans of beans, i.e. wasting them, so that they could use the cans for mugs to put the heated river water in them and mix it with chocolate (mix) and milk to make hot chocolate, but in their excitement they forgot that they don't have milk. I know it's really stupid dialogue, but it's a Hal Needham movie ... Please tell me you were not serious. 😂
Great review. Finally a critic who recognizes the awesomeness. This movie made me and my brother go and race bmx. I dont think John Farnham realizes that us RAD fanatics love his songs. BTW, my brother named his son RAD......this movie has made considerable impact on many people's lives.
flaminrota Thanks! I adore this movie, its pure concentrated joy. His son's name is Rad? Thats...RAD!
Called his son Rad. That's made my day.
The honeycomb hideout reference had me rolling with laughter!
:)
The 25th anniversary was..rad. There was late night screening with alcohol served...a couple hundred drunk BMXers at a late night screening of RAD...that's the only way to watch the movie...
Sounds fucking awesome .
Fucking a!
Next year will be the 35th anniversary. Hope they have a little something to celebrate it.
Also the brilliant movie turbo kid, a post apocalyptic bmx movie, has thunder in your heart as its intro music.
I learned most of my tricks from watching this movie...I lived in a small town with no chance of getting my hands on any bmx magazine or anything...I copied the film and practiced every waking hour on a gravel road...it's all I had, and I loved it..
This was my favorite movie when I was a kid. Love Rad
The bike dance scene is the funniest thing ever especially parred with ‘Send Me An Angel’. OMG the 80’s!!!!
That bike dance to "Send Me an Angel" is part of the reason I recorded this movie on VHS and (I think) still have it somewhere. Years later, I bought Send Me An Angel on iTunes and rock out to it every now and then. Excellent content as usual. Why was I so late in finding your channel?
Oh man, so 80's it bleeds Hyper Colors. Forgot about this gem until this review, thanks lol.
+Grimm's Gaming thanks for watching!
+GoodBadFlicks i love your videos
Thank you! I'm very happy with how this one turned out
Well, I no longer feel embarrassed for liking "Send Me An Angel".
idunbeezasmart1 Awesome song
Why bad? I have that song on my iPod.
But I have it on there because of Teen Wolf Too.
Dude, I envisioned me and the chick I liked at the time doing this very bike dance.
Dude it’s one of my Pandora channels. Great 80s song. But it is imbedded in my brain because of this movie. Probably watched 150 times
@@chaseroush6503 It’s The Wizard for myself why that song is in my digital libraries. An absolute amazing classic that doesn’t get enough love.
Rad was my favorite movie growing up. Watch it and then go riding. I wore that vhs out. Literally it broke lol
I didn't know John Farnham had three songs in the movie.
Also good to hear Send Me An Angel again. That makes it 4 songs from Australian performers.
Me too! Thrashin and Gleaming the Cube were my go to skater flicks.
A couple of friends of mine and I had a BMX freestyle team in the late 80s that we named Team Rad after the team in the movie. We actually were the underdogs in our town when we were competing against the team sponsored by a local bike shop. We even got to meet several of the riders that did the stunts in this movie as well (Eddie Fiola and Woody Itson in particular).
Thanks! I really appreciate it. I don't expect everyone to agree with me, I just got tired of seeing these movies trashed and wanted to give an alternative viewpoint. :)
I wore out both copies of this vhs at our local video rental. I watched this movie nonstop as a kid in the 80’s. RAD still holds up as a classic from a wonderful age of movie making.
Hi GoodBadFlicks!
I was 11 years old when this movie came out. i loved it. A year later i had a paper route and had a BMX bike. Cool kids from the neighborhood without technology. But thank you for posting this RAD clip. 😎
Thank you so much for the amazing review of this movie. Its been one of my favorite movies of the 80's besides Red Dawn lol. Im 39 years old and still watch this movie at least 4 or 5 times a year. The only way i was able to find this movie was on a torrent site. Absolutely love it.
My mom bought me this movie from a rummage sale when I was in 2nd grade (1992). I loooove this movie. Excellent video, brought back some great memories.
Still one of my all-time favorite 80's guilty pleasure movies 👍🏻 Awesome review and thanks for posting.
This is years old, but my guess is that he emptied out two cans of beans to use as cups for hot chocolate, but he used river water instead of fresh water, and there wasn't even any milk, so wasting the beans was silly, since why would you want terrible hot chocolate with no milk, made with dirty river water? :)
Gleaming the Cube?
Garbage Pail Kids?
Yes! Gleaming The Cube!
A.K.A A Brother's Justice or Skate or Die.
I thought Rocky IV had the most music montages.
Thanks! Yeah, I do need some more views. heh, I'm getting there
Bart stopped to let Cru catch up but I figured I'd leave some stuff out. Haven't done Thrashin yet but I plan to.
This movie is pure 80's teenage awesome! Love the BMX tricks and stunts..
I absolutely loved this movie when I was a kid, I must have watched it 50 times, I recently went looking for it to show my daughters and was bummed to find that it was not on Blu-ray or DVD, but I did show it to them on You Tube, and now they love it. Great look at it, I had no clue this was filmed in Canada. Always informative, thanks again.
+BeardedMovieGuy I have it on DVD.
it is on Amazon on DVD in a beautiful transfer..nicer than some Blu rays I've seen
One of my all-time favorite '80's HBO-special movies. I would watch this incessantly whenever it was on, no matter what point in the movie it was it.
19 riders and a camera guy? who the fuck even thought to count that shit? mad props
Thanks!
U had me as a loyal subscriber when you said the dance sequence with the bikes was ridiculously awesome!!!! I taped the song Send me an Angel from the tv to a cassette because I didnt know about soundtracks when I was 8 lol wow this movie was such an influence and the reason we have Gleaming the Cube with Christian Slater! god i miss the 80s!
Thanks! I'm going to order Bill Allen's book "My Rad Career"
6:18 ..that song does kick ass. Thanks Toutube.
For a film considered by some to be what "The Wizard" was to video games, a 90 minute commercial for a product, this movie was actually good story wise. It also featured quite a few familiar names such as Talia Shire and Mr. Hand himself, Ray Walston!
WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE??? ON DOPE!?!?!?
As a kid BMX rider in the 80's and a competing flatland rider 20 years later, this movie is always an inspiration for riders of my generation. Long live the 20"..!!
Me & my lil brother started modifying our cheap huffys as soon as the end credits stopped!..😂
One of the best Musical masterminds of the 80s.
Was 100% thinking the same thing about the drugstore comic racks...man I miss the 90s.
I saw this in the theater and got a promotional Rad sticker. It was awesome. I always really liked that the stereotypical bad guy turned out to be an ok guy in the end and just wanted a fair race.
Holy crap, that's John Farnham singing? He's a legend to anyone who grew up in Australia during the 80's. He even sang at the 2000 Olympics opening ceremony. Speaking of Australia in the 80's, and in a similar vein to this movie, did you ever see BMX Bandits, with a young Nicole Kidman?
Writ In Water / sure did. Great movie but I think Rad tops it.
He dumped the beans out to use the cans as mugs.
What was so confusing about the hot chocolate lines? They dumped 2 cans of beans to boil the water.
I love the narrator. this made my day. I was 10 yrs old when this movie came out. Can't forget this movie coz my bro and his friends tried really hard to do some of the tricks and failed miserably. Haha.😃. those were the days.
This is one of my favorite movies. I had it on beta when I was younger
It looks like they had a lot of fun behind the scenes while making this, and that always seems to translate to a fun flick in both the acting and post.
One of my all time favorite movies! An absolute gem. And the freestyle tricks from the movie were the best.
Thanks! BMX bikes were pretty huge back then. I had one and pretty much every kid on my block did too. Although none of us could do the tricks and stuff these guy could do
That's great to hear that there working on a documentary on this fun 80's flick great job once again on reviewing underrated underdog flick IMO!
6:35 yes, yes it does that song kicks major ass...
I have not seen the film but with Lori Loughlin 'slow-dancing' on a bmx to some down tempo synth pop.... I almost had a psychedelic experience just watching the short clip... Im hoping the whole 'dance' is online somewhere to complete the trip. That is pretty dame coo mang.
Rad definitely a rad movie but you referenced "Cool as Ice". you gotta do this movie! My favorite. So here's another rhyme to break the ice, you couldn't purchase my talent at any price. Don't chase a Roni cause you know that I can get'em, I'm not the type so I don't even sweat'em, I'll love a girl then diss the same one, cause you know that there's more where that came from. awwww yeah!
I loved this movie as a kid...and even now - it brings me back!
Most of the time I see you pop up on my subscriptions and I'm like - meh, I'll watch it because I remember that movie (you're a great commentator), but this time I was like "YES!"
I would love a Bluray release. There is a demand for it! Plus, there is deleted scenes and a lot of bonus material that would be great for the release.
Thank you! Oh man, I forgot about the plastic seats. Well, these were designed more for you to "stand" while riding. (at least thats what I believe)
It's that bastard Oscar!!! He tried to kill Johnny Five!!! Get him!!!!!
Ahem....sorry, that shit was traumatic when I was younger.
Didn't he also have diplomatic immunity in Lethal Weapon 2😂
I basically lived at my corner drug store in '77. It was my own personal library. The old ladies that worked there didn't have the heart to shoo me out. I probably read some comics that are highly collectible now.
What the hell? Am I the only one that lives by a drug store that has porn mags on display? Well, they got those black square pieces of acrylic plastic in front but those are always a few inches smaller than the magazines so you pretty much see 20% of the cover anyways, and you didn't HAVE to be 18 to see them just as long as you weren't like 10 y/o the guy was cool with you taking a look... oh yeah, you couldn't be drooling on the mags or playing pocket pool while you gave them a once over... OR, or seriously eye humping the mags for an hour either.
"Sergeant Pringles Guy" - the similarity is astounding. Great catch.
+Strazdas I would have said Officer Robotnik/Eggman
Ahhh...dreams of building a half pipe in my backyard. The plans were right there in Freestylin' magazine. If only we could have found enough wood.
Nice to see no one in the comments section saying "Thunder in your Heart? Didn't American Dad use that song first?" One of those times you feel old when you watched Rad premiere as a kid. Squidbillies did a parody of the song for a training montage as well.
hahaha that Team America reference almost killed me...
Great job man!
"the double mint whores...." you had me chuckling and am exausted , brilliant!
The comic book rack took me back to the day.
I have watched this movie more than any other movie by far. Great sound track also
This movie makes me think about Iron Eagle.
No idea why.
Isn’t that the woman that went to prison for bribing her kids into college?
Well, she didn't bribe her kids, she bribed some enrollment person to give her kids some brownie points/preferential treatment.
cool movie about BMX racing, loved the Paperboy references you threw in.
it used to play on cable all the time back in the day
Has it really been 25 years since this movie came out, damn? I remember watching this as a kid.
You do some of the best reviews, well done.
I just love your randomness... 8:01 Ren& Stimpy.. lol
I can not express in words how much I loved this movie growing up and how many times I would race friends down the street on my bmx fininshing the race quoting ''and cru jones wins it!'.
You just made my day, and brought back so many memories of my youth as a BMX'er!
:)
Thanks! While making this I totally wanted to go out bike riding but first I have to go buy a bike lol.
you being able to pull out those comics from the rack is worth the subscription. Awesome!
Thanks for the sub!
I actually did Motel Hell a while ago but can't post it on youtube. You can still see it (and many others) if you go to my site, which is linked above. Just head there and use the search for Motel Hell
You made me spit pop out of my mouth with your Team America reference. Wasn't expecting that at all. Holy shit. I'm still laughing.
:)
MUHAHAHAHAH DITTO IM WEAK
The commentary on this is Hilarious
Thanks!
I only just discovered this video and it had me cracking up laughing. Rad was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I'd love to see you do some other 80's cult classics like The Last Dragon and No Retreat No Surrender.
One of the best movies of all time. I love the song, send me an angel. I live near Calgary and had no idea about this fantastic movie being filmed there. That makes 2 of my favourite movies being filmed there, including Fubar. I am so gonna take someone special ass sliding.
Finally, someone else who loves Cool As Ice! And the added dialogue in the limo about had me in tears!
I grew up in the 80's and i love my 80's and i love my movie rad. but this video is funny. lmao
"K either I'm having a flashback or there's a pick elephant wearing a cowboy hat watering this guy's lawn." Amazing
Awesome, thanks!
I love Rad, its such a great movie.
I still have my VHS of this when I was a kid. =)
Thanks for doing an awesome review of my favorite movie!
Did you ever do the flick thrashin? A skateboard movie like this here rad?
I've never seen this movie before but man does it make we want to jump on a bmx, like the old days. Great review man.
Loved it as a kid and still waiting for Rad 2
One of my all time fav movies of all time!
Love your videos man!
Crap you say?! This is filled with glorious!
I got a dvd outta Canada..came w/ a photocopied sleeve cover and even a cd-r copy of the soundtrack
Unusual indeed. Perhaps the audio engineers were fans of Osploitation.
Holy smoke what a great video u did on the movie rad I'm a bmx racer and I love the way u explained everything was awesome what a lot of good points this movie is so cool and so is the video thanks
This movie deserves a blue ray release it shows everything that is rad about the 80's I also like the whole small town feeling of it, and lance armstrong needs to play thunder in the heart so that all the doping charged will be dropped lol
