Biker boyz

[reed]

On BBC 1 now.

I have seen it before but still find it stupid and funny that they didn't really include anything other than drag racing, which kind of means nothing when it comes to skill.

Still an alright film though.

Just flicking through the channels before and came across this.

Gotta disagree with you saying it's an alright film though. My toes are curling up from its cringiness.

Managed 15 mins before switching off and going to bed.

I seem to remember a ridiculous scene atop a train? Amirite?

I'm liking how it appears that they all went out and bought matching jackets only about an hour ago too

Wish my cheese butty with that much cheese on it

And they have their own headquarters with projectors, a huge canvas painting and everything.

I think it's actually not a bad movie. It's basically a classic 'Ghetto' movie with a motorcycling twist. The actor that plays 'Kid' is terrible, but the rest of the cast don't do too bad a job.

There is skill involved in drag racing but they don't really demonstrate it on screen... it's pretty much impossible to do. The stunts in the movie are all genuine stunts performed by real people, unlike Torque which was pretty much all wires CGI and fakery.

The only real downsides to Biker Boyz are the name, and the final confrontation on the dirt road. Take those away and it's actually not all that bad. It's one of my guilty pleasures.

I tried making Torque a guilty pleasure but it's just unwatchable. It really is a pile of shite.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

This came out in 2003.

At that time I was 15 and for my generation it was the only film that gave us bikes to drool over and showed us a community in biking.

Cos of that, I love it

It's like watching an abortion with bikes involved. Absolutely dogger.

It's a fucking trainwreck of a movie.

[Ghost]

Trainwreck it may be, but anyone know if it's repeated at any point?
