Rad

phatmass thought this was worth mentioning said Wed, Aug 27th 2014 at 11:48am ET

Rad. The 1986 BMX movie.
The greatest movie ever made.
The movie with the largest critics-to-audience discrepancy on Rotten Tomatoes: 0% - 91%.
The movie never released on DVD, Blu-ray or digital.

What the freak dude. We have to do something. We cannot allow this movie to only be seen on old VHS tapes and bootleg copies.

Does anyone have a plan?

Ummm, we could do what we've done before and not even know it existed...

Besides, my top 5 greatest movies ever created doesn't even include Rad.

5) Miami Connection

4) Over the Top

3) No Holds Barred

2) Samurai Cop

1) The Room

- @The_Baron It'd be weird to have 6 films in a Top 5...

Rad is a good one, but I prefer Gleaming the Cube.

- @DaveInSoCal You can't Gleam the Cube without first learning about the Legend of Billie Jean

- @DaveInSoCal I prefer gleaming the cube too, but I didn't feel like mentioning that on a public forum.

I researched this. Apparently, the rights to this movie have changed hands so many times they literally do not know who owns it now. Maybe we should just claim it and put a ripped VHS copy up on iTunes. If nobody knows who owns it, who's gonna sue us?

- @phatmass I think the logical outcome here is clear. Shot for Shot remake with a RED Camera.
