The film Nicole Kidman would rather forget is an Australian (and American) cult favorite: BMX BANDITS by Brian Trenchard-Smith (STUNT ROCK). Two boys and a girl find a cache of walkie-talkies and sell them to buy BMX bikes. Little do they know that the walkie-talkies belong to The Boss, a criminal who planned to use them to rob banks (the walkie talkies are locked onto the police bandwidth, allowing the criminals to stay ahead of the law). Now his henchmen (RAZORBACK's David Argue and MAD MAX's John Ley) are chasing the kids across the water, through Sydney's biggest shopping mall, and any other place where mass destruction of property is bound to happen! Oscar-winning cinematographer John Seale gives the action a slick look and there is plenty of bad eighties hair (I'm lookin' at you, Nicole) and bad eighties fashions (check out that Spandex).
