I broke out my bike today for the first time in a few years.. and while I almost killed myself.. listening to tunes from the movie on my ipod while riding was such an adrenaline blast.
So to finish the day right.. I'll be watching "RAD" tonight!

Seems rather odd that you want a picture of me watching "RAD" on my tv, but if that's what it takes to prove it.. I'll work on it.
btw, to keep from being the total 80's geek and talk of my neighborhood.. I did reframe from wearing my newly acquired "Rad T-shirt" will riding yesterday.
maybe next time.. Posts: 7845 | From: Smiling and glancing in awe in the back of a limo | Registered: Mar 2003 | Site Updates: 22

tutt tutt I know I know! I do think you not seeing Weird Science is a worse sin though.
Ok I watched Rad yesterday and I LOVED it!!!
you guys talking about the dance/bike sequence to "Send Me an Angel" and how cheesy awesome it was......didn't even set me up for how CHEESY AWESOME IT WAS! Christian was rocking some boots on that bike too......Bart and the twins dance had me smiling also.
I also want to point out how many cuss words there were in this family film haha the lil sis alone said 5 of them I think........A date with *** sliding would be awesome don't ya think?
My cool video store requires a deposit to rent Rad but they waived it for me cause i'm that cool Posts: 2912 | Registered: Jun 2003 | Site Updates: 26

Someone mentioned Airbourne. I think a double feature release of RAD/Airbourne would be cool. It'd sorta make for a good 80's/90's family film combo.

I'm stoked that so many people have checked it out and most have enjoyed it.
Great interview links..
I actually just stopped by the thread to click on the "Thunder In Your Heart" link above to listen to while I'm on The Rewind!

just watched this for the first time,must say i really liked it,i never knew hal needham directed it,so when i saw his name come up on the credits i knew there would be some great bmx stunt work on show which there was.
i've always liked lori loughlin and when you think during the 80s she starred in the likes of amityville 3(stinker!) and the new kids then followed them up with the likes of secret admirer and here in rad ,it showed what a versatile young actress she was.
also really liked the soundtrack especially john farnham's opening track break the ice,very cool! did think talia shire's part amounted to next to nothing , but then again do you really want to see much of her in a movie about bmx riding -no, not really!

I swear, I don't know what happened the day I finally watched this movie. I remember thinking to myself.. "uhhh.....".. I just couldn't get into it, and when the bike dance scene came on, I almost had to leave..I felt embarrassed for some reason? That bummed me out.
BUT
I am going to give it another try sometime soon. *crosses fingers*

You needed to see this movie as a kid to have the proper appreciation for it Ronnie. I know I may have had the same negative reaction if I hadn't enjoyed it so much as a youngster. But then again, being the BMX bandit that I was..I probably still would have liked it. True, the movie obviously doesn't hold the same level of captivity it did when I was a rabid BMX'er...but it still has it's special place with me regardless.

Probably a collector John Kreese. It said it was MINT condition. Quite a few VHS sold between $18-40 recently. 2 different DVD sold at $25 and $32(soundtrack included). I have been selling hard to find VHS (including a few copies of RAD for $25-30) for several years and it baffles people and myself sometimes when they hear how much people will give for a VHS video.
Just goes to show how sought after a copy of RAD is ay.

yeah I just don't understand paying that much for a bad quality tape that's just going to degrade over time.
There are a couple high quality dvd versions of Rad out there if you know where to look.
