Viewing Notes
Got a chance to see this on the big screen in 35mm. Goofy fun for kids with some cool stunts, it’s a blast! I realized while watching it this time that you can really view this as a prequel to RAD (assuming all the characters in the town turn American between movies) which sort of puts the BMX BANDITS vs RAD arguments to rest. Those arguments were never interesting anyways as the direct comparisons are minimal, they are two different kinds of movies. Plus, can’t someone love BOTH?!
