Revision as of 12:15, 3 October 2020
A 1986 movie about BMX racing, complete with a heavy amount of '80s slang, hairdos, and music. It stars a racer named Cru, who must choose between his a qualifying spot on the upcoming Helltrack BMX race and his SATs toward college, both of which take place on the same day.
Tropes used in Rad include:
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: The Mongoose Bicycling Company CEO is pretty mcuh pure evil and rigs the bike races to promote his own riders.
- "Falling in Love" Montage: Between Cru and Christian as they go have a day in the woods, throw rocks, and slide into a lake fully clothed.
- Slo-Mo Big Air
- Shallow Love Interest: To be expected in a film like this.
- Totally Radical: Need we say more? Hell, it's even in the title!
