javadude Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Classic, cheesy, cycling movie from the 80's tonight on SABC 3 at 19:30. Be there or be square.
Shebeen Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) Specialized Racing Bikes.oh man...I wonder if they really got it right to twin it with the TDF or was it just co-incidence. I won the tv remote battle and rather enjoyed it. Of course the outcome was kind of predictable(down to the last second), but it wasn't as tacky as expected. I particularly enjoyed:the 'torture test' and gym scenestraining with a cowboy hat, but racing with those leather strip helmetsthe russian olympic champ who looked mexicanthe 'techno bits' where you saw the 6 speed derailleurs CLOSE UP and shiftingthe roadbike doing a one hand wheelieKevin costner's tache - a beauty ..the hippie chick, stumped us initially but she was from baywatch..would this movie have been screened in SA during the 80's - mixed marriages and strong black female characters?http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/13/American_flyers.jpg/220px-American_flyers.jpg Edited July 25, 2011 by SteveCT

Hairy Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Was good/entertaining to watch .. heck, my wife who has no interest in cycling enjoyed it and I like the jersey swapping scene too
Ice Queen Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 yes..... the one handed wheelie while racing the horses...... i don't think so! Some of the crashes looked authentic, and i loved the nutrition & supplements in the final race - bananas & coke :)I am guessing the movie was to boring for SABC3 to watch through, as they forgot the small 2-3 seconds of boob flashes from the hippie chick! Age restriction was 13L and i was watching it with my 15 year old son!!
The Drongo Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 is this the one with the dog chasing scene ?  :thumbup: :thumbup:  Eddie....real SOB!
nuge Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 classic, genre-defining cheese! loved it, especially:Â the synthesized dramatic music,the one-liner-a-second dialogue,that part where the bad dude says: "all right, let's put the hurt on!"Â you just can't make movies like this anymore... awesome.

Age restriction was 13L and i was watching it with my 15 year old son!!  One handed wheelie, what do you mean you don't think so, a mate does that all the bloody time! It gets annoying he's so good at it!  Best line of the movie though is definitely - "Just look at you, you have a moustache, how can anything be wrong with you" awesome!
