A hotshot stockbroker bets it all--and loses it all--in one day, effectively ruining all his customers while ending his career. So, naturally, he turns to that old stockbroker standby: he becomes a bicycle messenger. Kevin Bacon may have made this film simply to extend the strands of the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game; it's hard to imagine any other reason. Otherwise, this mid-'80s film stands as yet another example of a movie influenced by MTV without understanding what MTV does. Eventually, Bacon leads the exploited masses of messengers in an uprising against unfair labor practices by the evil bosses. There's an original concept. Notable as yet another film to give a role to the dazzlingly untalented Jami Gertz. --Marshall Fine

 So SAD, it's FULL screen (1.33:1) November 20, 2009
HankSter (Area 51)
Screen Format states ....1.33:1 = Full Screen, I hate 1.33:1
What's sad it costs extra $$$$$ for them to make a Chop and Crop (Pan & Scan) version from an originally filmed Widescreen movie.
Hey, production companies ..... SQUARE TV's are history !!!!
 It makes it go faster November 9, 2009
P. McAlpin (Oaklyn, NJ USA)
The scene where he gets up from bed and starts oiling his bike's chaind and the chick asks why are you doing that and the bacon man says "it makes it go faster." Yeah, that scene is awesome.

I watched this movie a decade ago and now that i bought a fixed gear bike i had to see it again. This movie is a classic but the soundtrack is awful!
Question about the part before the end... June 29, 2009
Bookaddict
I loved this movie when it came out. I've been looking for it, found it and just watched it again. I enjoyed it, but I'm really confused by the version I downloaded. WARNING: ENDING SPOILER... After Gypsy dies, Kevin Bacon tries to catch his breath looking down over the edge of the garage and then looks shocked. Then, there's are two weird cutaway shots first to the lead bicycle chick sporting an enigmatic smile, and then to Kevin without his shirt. Where are they in the cutaways? In his loft? Do those few seconds take place right after the chase scene? Does anyone remember those cutaways being longer in the original film? It just seems anticlimactic that there's no really intense romantic scene between those two before the end... other than going to the hotdog stand. Is this just me....? Thanks.
 80s cheese movie, but still good April 2, 2009
S. Russell
This is a great movie. However, I remember it being much better when I was 13 years old. If you get past the 80s acting, the plot and bike tricks are actually cool!
