Review of BMX Bandits

BMX Bandits (1983)
2/10
Bland, predictable, simple
25 March 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Terribly bland, predictable kids flick about a trio of bmx teens who stumble across a stolen stash and have a run-in with crooks and cops as a result.

Produced solely to cash in on the bicycle moto-cross craze that swept the world in the early eighties, script is silly and corny throughout and will entertain only very young bmx enthusiasts. Of course for them there is plenty to look at, with the main chase sequence taking up what seems to be half of the film.

Apart form the bmx action attraction there is nothing else on show. The cops are dumb, the crooks even dumber, and the film is just plain simple over all. Notable perhaps for the fact that famous Aussie cinematographer John Seale was behind the camera, and that Nicole Kidman made a rather forgettable start here.
