Premium Rush

Not too many cycling themed movies out there.
I hope this one will be decent.

Wow. That looks incredibly awful.

any idea how this movie compares to some of the great cycling movies like quicksilver or rad?

Agreed! And for the most part, they've missed the demographic entirely - this just caters to the 12yo - 16yo messenger wannabes livin in the burblands. Pathetic representation of cyclists and messengers in general. Rotten Tomatoes will have a ragufest with this one.

Wow. That looks incredibly awful.

You consider quicksilver being a "great movie" ????
What's about "BMX Bandits"

My favs -

Sunday in Hell
Flying Scotsman
Pee Wee's Big Adventure
Breaking Away
Triplettes de Belville
Beijing Bicycle

for anyone who hasn't seen it, a Sunday in hell is fully awesome.

quicksilver isn't as good as rad, but it does have Kevin Bacon. Rad is the best movie ever made. name one other movie to feature someone winning a bmx race by passing another racer while doing a backflip. you can't!
