Teens P.J. (Angelo D’Angelo) and Goose (James Lugton) get their thrills on BMX bikes, performing hair-raising tricks all across Sydney, Australia. Along with their new friend Judy (Nicole Kidman), they discover a box of walkie-talkies – and find out that a gang of criminals intends to use them to monitor police signals during a bank robbery. When the young trio snatches the devices, it propels them on a hair-raising adventure in which their pedaling skills might just save their necks.

I went to see BMX Bandits when it first came out with an eleventh birthday party gang of mates. We were mostly BMX fanatics and figured we’d be running out of the cinema pulling pretend stunts on our handy imaginary bikes but alas we’d kinda just wheeled out, a little let down. Cut to many years later and I catch it on saturday afternoon TV and that’s when I flip. I was too harsh on the pic as a kid coz i thought it pandered to a younger audience but now looking back on my days as a kid it’s got some innocent magic like those british children’s film foundation pics. Nicole Kidman is a star and her fellow BMX bandits form a fun team but it’s the pursuing criminals that steal the show with their manic and obviously improvised actions and dialogue. And hey, any movie that ends with a flour bomb fight on wheels and a huge explosion of foam [which always renders the baddies useless] it’s just gotta be top!
