@trooper5930 No I saw it on Fox Anttv a local channel that shows classic shows and movies. I don't have any cable or dish tv. You might find it on Blockbuster internet rental or Netflix.
i did courier dowtown montreal in the mid-80s on a bmx of all things even in the winter! it was great, i miss the adrenaline charged days only a guy who did this can understand.
I LOVED THIS MOVIE BACK IN THE 80'S. I loved Kevin then: I watched every of his movies... Now, 2011, I still love him. Great actor. Great movie! I agree 80's movies had something special. I could watch them now and still enjoy so much. Thanks for this trailer!!!!
Remember liking this movie when I was a kid. Surprised to find on Wikipedia, however, that Bacon referred to it as "the absoulte lowest point of my career".
Just watched this cuz I didn't even know it existed except i downloaded it. lol. Really good movie. Another great 80s movie I recommend for good drama is Bright Lights, Big City with Michael J. Fox.
This is a very underrated film. I had a copy of this on VHS, now long since gone, but I must try and get this on DVD. To anyone who hasn't yet seen it, its well worth it. The 80's were a great time. Films had real creativity in them back then. No lazily overdone CGI. Effects had to be invented from scratch. The 80's saw some of the most influential films ever made. This is one of Kevin Bacon's best films. Also a young Jami Gertz before she starred in The Lost Boys...another 80's classic.
Back then I got a bike just because I loved this movie soo much.Even to this day have the "Lightning" track by Roger Daltrey in my ipod....I go crazy when it gets on. I become some 20 year ol trouble maker on a bike
Of course back then you had girls and relationships and emotion. That helped to. Now its just gold digs and GGW dvds lol. Just so much mote pure and innocent back then. In every way.
80s were sick because real life was how people act in a RPG game now. And im guessing in RPGs their just being natural. People say the 80s was less natural instinct and more false. It was actually quite the oposit compared to the suicidal life blows current gen for the kids.
This movie makes you want to be a bike messenger. Even if the pay is lousy, cars and trucks run you off the road sometimes, and maybe the occasional psychotic, orange crush drinking drug dealer uses you as a fall guy for the police. Just forget about that jazz, man, and fly down those hilly streets with the wind in your face.
As a fixie rider I have nothing but the best feelings regarding this film.
I'm am a hipster douche and will tatoo this logo on my arm in an unbroken ribbon so that my sleeve tattoo is nothing but the best of 80's mullet pretentiousness. I also like Kavinsky, Kraftwerk and The Misfits. Apart from the sleeve tattoo this post has been 100% authentic. What does that mean?
Love this movie, I remember seeing it for the first time when I was like 5 years old. My dad recorded it off of HBO for me and I watched it all the time. I remember being so young that I couldn't read yet and referred to this movie as "the Kevin Bacon movie." We eventually lost the tape but I was lucky enough to find it on DVD a few years ago, still watch it from time to time mostly for purposes of nostalgia.
Another great 80's movie, One of my all-time favorites. Does anybody know the name of the song they play when Kevin Bacon(Jack Casey) is racing Voodoo(Laurence Fishburne)?. I believe the lyrics go something like ''i'm trading these chains for wings'', any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Yes, if anyone knows the song played in this trailer i would apreciate a lot. I wachted the movie at the cinema and i went to buy straight away the soundtrack of the movie because of this song. My surprise was, the song was not included whitin. Can you believe it?
This is so old, look how young Lawrence Fishburne looks. For those of you who don't know, Fishburne plays Morpheus in The Matrix trilogy. He is in the movie "21" as well. What year was this movie from?
Well said. Don't you miss how gritty and realistic the cinematography used to be like in this movie? Movies today are way too bright, the colors too vivid.
@floresed It's because today's actors can't act and they are arrogant on film. Actors in the 70's & 80's were talented and more humble on screen. Today actors are just attention whores who act on screen like they know their in a blockbuster . Back then you had to actually have acting experience. Being a wrestler or a rapper would not get you into film.
Some of it was filmed in N.y. I did some of the race scenes ( where you just see things from the perspective of the biker)on fifth ave and seventh ave. in nyc with a bike-mounted cam. I was also the second model you see in the movie when the initial credits come on. twenty years ago: before my good looks decomposed. my fifteen seconds of fame. rather shitty movie to me. chase scenes that start in nyc and end in san fran? i bike messenged for thirteen years; no serious injuries.
I'm getting a new bike and i was wondering what i could name it so i typed in google bike movie and found quicksilver!with KEVIN BACON! in it! woot! i will now call my bike jack casey!
Great 80's Movie! Sure, Sony/Columbia have "Men In Black", "Spider-Man", & many other hits now, but, studios like Sony need to make some sort of classic throwback. Be like a classic 80's movie, but, with a modern 21st century touch.
In one of the early street scenes you see a city bus drive by with a blue radio station banner on the side that says KMET 94.7. That radio station was in LA. Maybe some filler scenes were filmed there.
In another couple of scenes they show buses with the MUNI emblem on them (San Francisco metro transit.) I think they were trying to create a fictional city because yeah they were showing the stock exchange in NY and then really steep streets in SF, LA sounds right too.
It was filmed in San Francisco and the studio in L.A. They wanted to portray Manhattan, but it's obviously cheaper to go up the coast a bit instead of 3000 miles to make a flick. Very good entertainment value, though.
wow everyone is young..
