BMX Bandits (Australian ad, 1983)

[cdesade]

In fact, I distinctly remember my Dad embarassing the hell outta me at the track when he would snap his fingers and do the "BMX song" before a race at Hog Wild BMX Track... but shite it used to pump me up!

[cdesade]

Man, I remember this movie at the theatre here in Arkansas for only a weekend showing in '84 (I was 8)... and then finding the VHS at Best Buy in '94. It was actually an OK film. LOL, yeah, that "thing" does look quite like "the Boyle" ;)

[Quevallyn]

Do you think Nicole Kidman still has this on her CV?

[cdesade]

@Quevallyn Funny how this was my family's intro to her and how my Dad used to laugh at that, oh what was it, her "real" intro to American cinema with crazy Tom.

[kelviewong]

at 0:08 Susan Boyle is in the ad having ice cream stolen by the gang

[CallMeMrX]

They're wild in the streets.

[n1f1sniper]

[Joe22c]

One can summon angels!

[RomanAlsaceLorraine]

LA MEJOR PELICULA QUE HAYA VISTO

SALUDOS DESDE

VILLAVICENCIO - COLOMBIA

[rowham1]

i don't think crew understand that it's the cheeze that makes movies like this so fricken awesome.....AND combine that with BMX's - match made in heaven! top movie. Just remember...it's was made for ages 6-12yo....not for teens nor adults. I was 9 when it came out and it made me go crrrazy for bmx's.

[bloggaloggs]

There's only one word to describe it. Pity I couldn't understand what the word was, as they decided to have it spoken by some inarticulate 3-year-old...

[mgo26]

I remember meeting a guy in Croatia who remembered watching this movie as a kid. It surprised and disturbed me to think that 'BMX Bandits' made it beyond the Iron Curtain!

[TheBlue3yez]

omg i finally found it thank god!!!

[zizwop]

Ok-anyone trying to give this movie props needs to actually watch it first. I watched this several times when I was a young teenager-it sucks, and I mean really bad. I remember when Nicole Kidman's career was taking off and I always wondered if anyone knew she was in this dumb-ass movie.

[mittkontotilltuben]

This movie deserves a higher cult value relative to many other movies which do not! Spamming with stupid comments about a certain fat old singing lady certainly does not help so please stop doing that!

[only257]

good bmx stunts and reminds me of death race 2000 expect with bmx riders!

[MultiTyrannosaurus]

0:16 Nicole Kidman 

[Kornspel]

Wow!

[ThornMaster456]

Looks like good cheesy fun. Kind of reminds me of Roller Boogie.

[bootymanager]

The curly red-haired chick was good in his movie. Anyone know what she's been up to?

[oehieze]

haha! this movie was responsible for 2 broken arms and one leg ... on yours truly!

[BiLock102]

.....and now I want to get my Mongoose out after 16 Years :)

[maddisy]

0:08 seconds in: Susan Boyle

[AustralianAds]

@maddisy so cruel!!!

[maddisy]

@AustralianAds to Susan, or the guy from the film? That's the quandry!

[AustralianAds]

@maddisy I think both... is that a guy???

[HellYeahhhhhh]

@AustralianAds This is a guy.

[AustralianAds]

@HellYeahhhhhh you sure? some fat chicks look like that.

And before you answer... yes, I know it's a guy/boy/male/young man

[oneweirdfellah]

[woodros]

[potsiiscool]

@maddisy DUDE! it's her!!!

[peterdcarter1]

This film was based on my life story.

I'm still living the dream!

[18caseylee]

[jsr1200]

[mrsgritoli1]

[jvillinger]

L O L

[rayzrblayd]

Another great old school movie trailer. So stupid and cheesy.

Now that I'm back into bmx after 20 years I want to recreate the opening sequence. I was at that place only last week.

[AustralianAds]

Pat Wilson 'Bop Girl' (found on my nzoz1983 account)

[marcus10]

Great movie of my childhood.

[carolMUSICyLIFE]

this wasn't her first movie

[vivefemmes]

For Nicole, oh ok, I thought this was her first picture.

Which one was her first then?

[oneweirdfellah]

@vivefemmes It indeed was her 1st movie...although she was in tv shows b4 then

[yakidk89]

@oneweirdfellah Contrary to popular belief, this was not Nicole's first movie. She had a leading role in Bush Christmas made before this.

[oneweirdfellah]

@yakidk89 Yeah,that was a made for tv movie...but yeah

[downshow]

THE BEST

[dtumahtsew]

Top movie,loved this as a kid.

[BrandiBroke2195]

i bet every aussie kid on earth begged their parents for a BMX after this movie!

[CoolBigWillieStyles]

i got one :)

[LilithFilth]

I knew the guy who did Nicole Kidman's bike stunts in BMX Bandits...he was a cop last I knew.

[chasebizzy]

Whatever happened to that pretty girl with the kinky hair?

[blackmailit]

at 0:09 was taht the kid from the summer camp movie "Oddballs"?

[omanolob]

I wonder what happened to the other two bikers...Angelo D'Angelo and John Lugton (or soemthing like that)? Are they still acting?

[thedeem0N]

omanolob, Angelo D'Angelo played PJ and James Lugton played Goose....& Angelo D'Angelo seems to have appeared last on some TV Show episodes in 2003...& James Lugton has acted in less then 10 things TOTAL...& Nicole Kidman went on to SUPER STARDOM....It Happens more then you would think...Remember the Bill & Ted Movies? Keanu Reeves Played Theodore Logan, Alex Winter was Bill S. Preston Esquire & Keanu Reeves went on to become Neo of the Matrix Trilogy, & Alex Winter went on to do SHIT....

[omanolob]

Thanks deemON.

[rayzrblayd]

Alex Winter was better than Keanu in those movies too.

Ralph Machio is another example and Elisabeth Shue is the one from karate Kid that went on to be successful. Pat Morita had a decent career too I think.

[T4799]

What happenned to the red slide? I thought the red slide was used in the movie, but the green black and yellow slides seem to have been used.

[likwitsnake13]

is that Susan Boyle at 0:09?

[juliandahooligan]

haha definetley Susan Boyle

[jmmelnyk]

[evensteven66]

[harperandyman]

[rinnywee]

[havok917]

[Rainbowrdr]

I remember going to the cinema to see this with my older brother and his mates who all had a bmx's at the time..must have been around 7 years old but one of the first films apart from ET I remember watchin as a kid :)

[petejt]

I never knew "BMX Bandits" was a movie. I thought it was just a slang word for any drongo on a bicycle or especially a BMX bike

[machenga]

time warp back to being 5 or 6. what a trip. always thought nicole kidman was kinda hot, guess it was subliminal from this movie

[goonsquid]

Nicole was certainly cute, a bit young to be hot. I saw a pic of her aged 40 and THAT was hot.

[cageboyes]

Haha Awesome.. Go Nic..

[ADAM10121]

excellent
