"BMX Bandits is the ultimate would-have-gotten-away-with-it-if-it-wasn't-for-you-meddling-kids movie."
- Luke Buckmaster, Guardian

"If we'd grown up in Australia, BMX Bandits would have been our Goonies." - Quentin Tarantino, director

"Nicole Kidman as you've never seen her before! A white-knuckle thrill-ride of bike stunts and action comedy. An absolute delight!" - HollywoodTeenMovies.com

"A gripping youth action film that delivers the goods!" - 10K Bullets

Nicole Kidman, future Academy Award winner, made her movie debut at 16 years old as the pouffy-haired star of this action/comedy about a cache of stolen walkie-talkies, three BMX-riding friends, and the ruthless bank robbers who will pursue them through every graveyard, shopping mall, construction site and waterpark in New South Wales, Australia. It's a high-flying ride to adventure filled with wild students, cool BMX outfits, creepy innuendo, cheezy synth music, an obnoxious fat kid, and gobs of fast and furious fun.

John Ley (Mad Max), David Argue (Razorback), and Bryan Marshall (The Long Good Friday) co-star - with thrilling cinematography from future Oscar winner John Seale (The English Patient) - in this Down Under '80s cult classic from "Ozploitation" master Brian Trenchard-Smith, the legendary director of Turkey Shoot, Dead-End Drive In, and Stunt Rock.
