Whether it’s taking peg rides on the back of your brothers BMX bike, amazing Thriller-inspired jumpsuits, or breathtaking bicycle boogie dance sequences, there is a ton of stuff to love about the movie Rad. Here’s a list of the 30 Things We LOVE About it…
#31 Tall vertical graphics are totally rad!!
Agreed! 😉
This one still amazes me it hasn’t ever been put out on a blu-ray/DVD combo.
I’m hoping it gets a release soon. I heard the cast recorded a commentary track sometime during the last year or two…
They have. I really think right now it’s a rights issue.
Well, we eventually saw a releases for the Monster Squad, The Legend of Bille Jean, and even TV shows we were told would never happen (like the ’66 Batman and Wonder Years with all the music) so I have hope we’ll see one for Rad too.
I really hope so as well.
With #17 being an exception, why does Lori Loughlin dress like one of the Golden Girls in this movie??
Lol, that is a good point. My real guess is that those clothes looked manish enough that the stunt riders could double her without looking too off. My silly answer is that Cru was was into “the matronly look”. Hulk Hogan, pshaw, Estelle Getty Eat Your Heart Out!!!
#32 – Pink elephant sprinkler. Honestly, how did that not make the list?
I could have so easily done 50 things. Had to restrain myself!
Helltrack only has 19 riders.
Yup, 15 real and 4 fictional. Was that in contention?
but they advertise 20 riders.
Ha, cripes, good call!
Oh shit, there were 20! Remember, one of the riders (from team Hutch I believe) broke his leg and there’s a scene where Cru is getting ready to queue up for the initial Helltrack drop and he stops, says hi and signs the cast. Mystery Solved!!!
Man, total brain fart, can’t believe I didn’t remember this right off the bat…
You’re slacking, Robare. Get it together, man!
I know! Alright, take the mattresses of the ramp, gotta practice my airwalks…
