35TH ANNIVERSARY RAD MOVIE MOVIE
“Brimming with energy, passion, and an underdog spirit… there’s not a cynical note to be found in the absolutely delightful RAD!” ( Cinapse)ĭoors 8:15 pm | Movie 8:45 pm *Start time subject to change. “Whooshing and swirling with mad abandon, Hal Needham’s teen flick is a blast of nostalgic joy.” ( Screen Anarchy)
Also starring Lori Loughlin, Talia Shire, Jack Weston, and Ray Walston, along with 1984 Olympic gymnastics champion Bart Conner. Bill Allen stars as a bicycle-motocrosser who tries to enter a corrupt promoter’s nationally televised cash-prize race. In celebration of its 35th anniversary, the 1986 BMX racing film has returned to theaters with a new 35th anniversary restoration. The experience is sure to be … well, rad.The Rio Theatre’s Rio Grind Film Festival concludes on Sunday, November 28 with a screening of a slice of something seriously 80’s, the oft-requested, always capitalized, cult-classic RAD. Or indulge in watching a cast filled with familiar names such as Lori Loughlin, Talia Shire or even former Olympic gymnast Bart Conner. Same if you want to see some fancy bike tricks. If you’re into 1980s nostalgia, “Rad” might be just what you want. Oh, by the way, I haven’t mentioned the reason why I’m even writing about this movie: A 35th-anniversary screening of “Rad” will be held at 7 tonight at two area Regal Cinemas theaters: Northtown Mall and Coeur d’Alene’s Riverstone Stadium. Michel Wilmington, Los Angeles Times: “The whole thing reminds you more of an overanxious teacher or coach, taking a few slang words and repeating them endlessly in a doomed attempt to ‘relate.’ " The short answer is, nothing.”Įd Travis, Cinapse: “Brimming with energy, passion, and an underdog spirit… there's not a cynical note to be found in the absolutely delightful ‘Rad’!” Walter Goodman, New York Times: “The bicycle acrobatics behind the credits at the opening of ‘Rad’ are so spectacular that you wonder what the movie can do to improve on them. Since most credible critics were negative about “Rad,” I’ve included at least one comment from a regular fan-boy reviewer. In “Rad,” a talented local kid named Cru (Bill Allen) dreams that he can win a race, auspiciously called Helltrack, against a bunch of corporate-backed all-stars. The 1986 film, directed by Hal Needham, takes the standard storyline about “a kid who could” and applies it to the BMX world (BMX, of course, being a kind of abbreviation of bike motocross). Same with “Rocky.” Or “Field of Dreams.” Or even “Rudy.” The appeal of something like “Hoosiers” is clear. And this applies to pretty much any kind of sport. There’s something about cheesy sports films that make them ripe for enduring popularity. Above: A 35th-anniversary screening of the BMX movie 'Rad' will be held at 7 tonight at two area theaters.
