What critics compared BMX Bandits to
Though the movie's villains owe mainly to Mad Max, its plot moves to a poppier beat, with its dirtbike chases recalling 1983's BMX Bandits (which starred newcomer Nicole Kidman) and dozens of more famous, mostly forgotten Hollywood productions in which adolescents get into grown-up trouble.
