BMX Bandits

Suffering an unexpected collision with several wayward shopping trolleys in a supermarket car park, teenage friends PJ (Angelo D'Angelo) and Goose (James Lugton) not only manage to write off their BMX bikes, they also cause Judy (Nicole Kidman), the young check-out girl responsible for the trolleys, to lose her job. With little else to occupy their time, the trio take up fishing for oysters in the hope of raising some money to repair their bikes. But their efforts land them a haul of a different kind when they stumble across a stash of contraband Police Band Radios, hidden by a gang of dangerous bank robbers who had planned to use them to monitor police movements during a future heist. After deciding to sell the radios on to raise their much-needed funds, PJ, Goose and Judy soon discover that both the cops and the crooks are after them and their catch.

    This lively but very ordinary adventure story would probably be gathering dust in some TV station by now if it weren't for the presence of a pre-stardom Nicole Kidman. She and her chums get mixed up with a gang of crooks who probably would have got away with it if it wasn't for those darned BMX bikes. The Australian locations are pleasant enough but it lacks the charm of similar Children's Film Foundation stories.

  • Lively action piece with unacceptable behaviour followed by reformation and an old-fashioned moral for early teenagers.

    80's Classic!

    This was as good watching at 27 as I remember when I was 7. Just going to dust the 'old goose' off now!

    cheesy but a classic

    great film that most youngsters wanted to be in and and try some of the tricks for themself and be a bmx bandit !!

    menu and extras a little thin

    but the trailer makes you realise how far films have moved on
