Review of BMX Bandits

BMX Bandits (1983)
7/10
Good fun
24 December 2020
Three teenagers discover a stash of walkie talkies and decide to make a quick buck and sell the items. Unfortunately for them, the equipment belongs to a gang of hardened criminals who need them for their next job. They will do anything to get them back.

Good fun. Mainly meant for kids but it's funny enough and interesting enough to be enjoyed by all. Decent enough plot and some great comedic moments. In addition, some great panoramic views of Sydney Harbour and the Manly area.

However, it does get a bit bogged down in endless chase scenes towards the end, making it a bit tedious at times.

The film is probably most famous for starring a 15/16-year-old Nicole Kidman in only her second film. She puts in a solid performance and gives an indication of the talent that would make her a star.
