Corey Haim looks like he's 14 in this film, but I guess in real life he was about 19. His arms are so skinny and he's so short. Hard to picture him as an action hero/undercover cop. He played Chris Collet's little brother 6 or 7 years before this in First Born, yet we are supposed to believe that they are contemporaries in this movie. Haim looks like the Rollerboys' little brother.
The writer wrote Point Break, which came out a year later. I think the director was also involved with that film. Instead of surfing, the adrenalin comes from roller blades. Instead of a surfing bank robber/guru, you have a neo-Nazi blading guru.
Patricia Arquette has a certain appeal, but is she really a hot girl? She's supposed to be one in this.
Fun Blade-Runnerish plot, great performance by the little kid and nice work by Chris Collet, the head Rollerboy, who now owns a Pilates studio.
I love the opening credits with the classic 80s graphics in neon blue and the skating footage.
Good photography of the beach and empty building shots.
The cop characters are cartoonish, but that just makes it fun.
Enjoy.
