So, I'm remembering this movie from the 80s but I can't think of the name for the life of me. You guys here are pros so here's what I can remember:
A kid fighting against bullies on his block by rigging up his hotwheels with gadgets/traps.
Some dude flying around at the end and a chick all about him.
This movie was kind of a suburban teen flick or something.
Thanks!

Wasn't the guy in that film the same guy who played a human looking robot in some other film. All I remember is he took the SAT's in like 2 minutes and got a perfect score. I think he graduates at the end of the movie.

You're thinking of Jay Underwood and the movie "Not Quite Human". That ran a lot on the Disney Channel back in the late 80s...I liked it, but I actually preferred the old Disney cartoons and the specials that they would run.
That's something to talk about. I really miss the old days of the Disney Channel. The cartoons were really enjoyable and I also liked the live-action shows like "Kids Incorporated" and "Danger Bay". I'd like to see reruns of those shows back on the air, considering that I need to refresh my memory about "Danger Bay".
Sincerely,

He did 3 of those films-for-tv, "Not Quite Human", "Not Quite Human 2" and "Still Not Quite Human" of which I have the first two on VHS and very much enjoyed so must get round to getting the 3rd.

Don't forget the Edison Twins too; I sort of like that one.
