Rad (1986)

Rad: Directed by Hal Needham. With Bill Allen, Lori Loughlin, Talia Shire, Ray Walston. The story of one young man, Cru Jones, who has the intensity and desire to win a BMX race called Helltrack.

“RAD….wow….17 years after it originally came out and it still remains one of the best films, most definitive films of a generation. Who will ever forget the stellar acting of Bill Allen, the luscious Lori Laughlin (speaking of oscars, where was hers for Casper 2? Huh?), and the amazing Bart Conner as THE Bart Taylor. Sure, a few elements might be a tad dated (They wouldnu0026#39;t call it Helltrack after 9/11, no siree bob!), but it still is just as good as the day it came out. A friend of mine were having a debate on which 80s film would stand the test of time…this or Raiders of the Lost Ark. Time will tell on that one.”
