This whole film feels like a big TV advert. The story is about a small town is out to raise funds by building a BMX racetrack and sponsoring a major race. Bart's the bad guy here, who doesn't play by the rules. The film's highlights are found in the stunt-filled race sequences, where the two duel it out on their high-flying two wheelers. Rad 1986 movie is beyond awful, it's actually painful to watch from start to finish. The movie has I said before is just a big advert and doesn't feel like a movie at all. The character's were annoying and forgettable. The writing was bland and used so many times in other bad movies. Overall Rad is just a bad movie that I'm some happy that everybody forgotten this peace of rubbish.
