Corsa al massacro

I was a nearly a kid when this movie appeared on TV and I had an opportunity to watch it again a month ago.

What else to say except that all people which lived in '80s will adore this movie because it will remind them on times when life was simpler,when all people around the world respected each other much more and when young people could do anything they wanted with their lives. Skateboards however, survived,and maybe good feeling of '80s will repeat again! However,for todays kids this movie will probably be "lame" or even funny,which will only show us what have we made of world for this 20 years.

Well,in waiting of new "peace era of '80s" watch this and enjoy "Trashin"!

Great skateboarding movie for it's time but Rad and Gleaming the Cube were soooooo much better! Just can't give it more than a 7 ....

Another very 80s sports movie released the same year as the wonderful "Rad", but not nearly as good. If that one was about BMX races, here we have skateboarding, but instead of an underdog story, we have the also traditional "Romeo and Juliet" love story. With a post-Goonies Josh Brolin as a not very engaging main character and a lot of stunts by famous skaters of the era, it's good 80s entertainment, but not memorable.

1986.Skatebordin' is blooming and almost booming...... What could have been another piece of crap is actually and surprisingly quite good. The plot shows now and then some usual clichés amongst skaters, but the cast plays very good; i cannot say it is the most engrossing movie of the 80's, but you'll get your amount of fun, love, music and skating scenes.As in many teen flicks(remember Tuff Turf),the plot is simple:Valleyboy meets the girl, but the girl belongs to the opponent's team,a competition will take place.....guess the ending..... If you're a Red Hot Chilli Peppers fan,don't miss their performance live, singing a song from their first album.

It doesn't matter if its a bad movie with bad 80's quality. It was after this movie that Europe started to get into some serious skating, including me as well ;) I'm sure that most of the living legends of skateboarding thinks this is a kick ass film. Its so 80's and that rules! BTW How many movies in the 80's where really good blockbusters? LOL. Well this movie has it all, skates, skaters, romance, cool 80's skate tricks, red hot chili peppers, and a hell of a romeo and juliet theme all over it. I have watched it like 300 times on a very bad copy VHS tape. Hehe to bad i doesn't have my old Powell Peralta board with kryptonics wheels still laying around. I recommend this movie to any and everyone. Hugs and kisses from me ;)
