Watch Rad For Free

Great Film overall

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I can't say I've ever been apart of the BMX crowd, but that certainly doesn't stop "Rad" from delivering the goods. What's really amusing about this movie is that it doesn't take long for its weaknesses to somehow become strengths, and that's all part of the charm. It's familiar (The Karate Kid, E.T.), it's bizarre (was that a school dance or a disco scene?) and I get a smile from seeing Canada as small-town America. But this is the kind of underdog story you can't help but like, and that's not even covering the movie's greatest weapon: the music. Farnham's "Thunder In Your Heart" is every bit the '80s time capsule that is "Rad". It's a fun movie.7/10

When you see the names Lori Laughlin and Talia Shire in the credits, you know you're watching a real gem.I am serious, this movie embodies all things 80. From the name on. First of all, check out the soundtrack. The music by John Farnham "Break The Ice" & "Thunder in Your Heart" and then "Send Me An Angel" by Real Life and "Music that you Can Dance to" by the Sparks are worth watching the movie for alone. Then, consider most of these songs involve BMX sequences or BMX dances!!! Take it from me people, life doesn't get much better than this movie.You got the preppy good, but poor guy "Cru" & the preppy bad, but rich guy "Bart Taylor" and the Bart's ex girl Lori plays and a competition called Helltrack at the end.The best scene in this movie is when Lori Laughlin and Cru start to BMX boogie to "Send Me An Angel" (you'll remember this one from the roller rink) and they interrupt Bart Taylor dancing to "Music You Can Dance To" and Bart with his blonde hair swooshing in front of his face like Tom Cruise in Risky Business says, "You could have at least waited til I was done dancing." Classic.Final word: its a crying shame this movie isn't on DVD, but there's a petition!!!! Go sign it!

OH MY GOSH YES! This movie is not for any wimps of cinema, it's for people who like to hang from helicopter sled's by their own teeth! Well this movie is about BMX life and culture, but that should be real obvious by the title itself. This is a true 80's film. Ninety minutes of countless montages, action, and one extremely sexy dance routine. This film has it all, it has romance, it has mind blowing BMX stunts, it has a great cast, and let's not forget the hair! If i was to go back to the turn of the century and show the people of the past what the future was going to look like, id bring this movie, although it may cause several things to happen including mass hysteria, suicides. They wouldn't live long enough to see this era unfold. Rad would just be a strange word, a passageway to another world, a means to express complex social situations in a short breath. So Cru, the local boy wants to be the best, but in order to be the best you have to Beat the best. Enter-HELLTRACK. This movie teases you with awesome biking throughout, and then hits you in the face with a sledgehammer at the end. The track is awesome, the music throughout is titillating, and any fans of Fred Savage's film "The Wizard" will relish at the sights accompanied by the unforgettable "Send me an Angel" song. I was watching the Wizard one time and this kid walked in during the Send me an angel montage and was cracking on it saying it was the worst song he ever heard. I promptly threw that sack of crack outta my house Immediately, nobody insults that song around me, No one. If i ever get married I'm coming out to the alter while thats playing riding a BMX. So if your looking for love calling heaven above, get on amazon and grab this sucka well they last. Unforgettable, ten stars.

One of the paradigms of 1980s movies, I saw it when I was around 7 or 8 years old. This movie influenced me to become the man I am today, a professional bmx biker, sponsored by Mongoose.Shortly after seeing this film, I traded my banana cruiser in for a sweet new bmx . From that point on, I was terrorizing my neighbors with my rude paper route delivery antics. I had my route so well planned and executed that I too could ride a garbage trucks front-end loader over a fence.It took a few years, but at the 1997 X Games, I was approached by the then-head of the Mongoose racing team about potential sponsorship. When asked "Who do you race for?" I used the words of Cru, I took of my sunglasses, looked him in the eyes and said "I race for me". He knew I meant business, and signed me for a 5 year contract right there, handing me 5 million dollars in cash, on the spot.
