Which 1986 movie did you like more?

Mine is Gleaming the Cube.

Did thrashin have a choreographed BMX bike dance scene?……..NO I DON’T THINK SO!

Rad

Rad

I loved them both for different reasons. If I had to pick one over the other I would pick Rad because I was into BMX racing at the time but I also had a lot of fun skateboarding

Rad was rad.

Daggers for life!

Thrashin' because it features a young Red Hot Chili Peppers with Hillel Slovak was still alive.

Rad had the best intro, music and, of course, "Hell Track".

I still put Rad's sound track up against any soundtrack out there.

Send me an Angel, Thunder in your Heart, Break the Ice, etc. Phenomenal to this day.

I wish I still had my bootleg ripped DVD

"Hulk Hogan eat your heart out!"

RAD all the way

Thunder in Your Heart is still a banger.

Fun facts about the twins in Rad, 1 the outfits they wore at the dance were from a TV show called V about aliens. 2 they wrote the screenplay for the Conjuring.

Never saw Thrashin', so it's Rad for me

For the longest time, Josh Brolin hated that he was even a part of Thrashin', but he started to come around when people would tell him that the movie helped them through a tough time in their life. He realized that he was being selfish and that the movie wasn't only a part of his life, but others as well. He did Tony Hawk's/ Jason Ellis' podcast recently and they talk about it

Rad!!!

Thrashing for me.

I love both but Thrashin’

Thrashin, but I was biased because I skated, but I still liked RAD too.

Didn't RAD introduce Nicole Kidman?

Thrashin for sure!! Skate or Die

Thrashin'. Ending with mutual respect and a very diverse cast.

It's Thrashin' all the way.

I had Rad on VHS and would watch it everyday. Wore that copy out. I have it on Blu ray now which is awesome. One of my favorite movies. Hits my nostalgia hard when I watch it anymore.

Thrashin! Both we great though.

Corey Webster pro model!

Thrashin’, because Chili Peps

We recorded both from hbo and I watched Rad more back then. I think I was better on my bike than my skateboard so maybe that was why…IDK? It was a long time ago.

I recently watched both, during the lockdown I think, and Thrasher was a much better movie. Rad had some performances that are quite laughable.

Rad!!!!

Rad!!! Of course

Send me an angel…….rite now.

Neither,

Gleaming The Cube. 1989

Thrashin’. I am a skater, I wanted a GT Pro Freestyle tour bike but my parents were too poor, so I made my head cannon default to bike kids were rich kids that deserved my hate.

Rad, but this version

100% Rad. The opening scene is the nuts. Skateboards are shit.

Absolutely 110%, unequivocally RAD!!! I was 15 when it came out, and I had a brand new GT Pro Freestyle Tour Team Model. My parents got me for Xmas in '86. The new bike models had just come out. Me and my friends were huge into Freestyle. Ah, the 80's, I would give anything to go back just for 1 day!! Such awesome friendships, great, great times together.

Hell Track…

rad. it seemed more plausible(?!?). i never saw any one with a skate board in my rural ass town. every one had bikes though. the irony is we have a skate park now and almost every kid has a board.

What about gleaming the cube?

Cause there thunder in your heart……every move is like lightning

Haha this was my shit.

Hell we were hyped about Police Academy 4 because we knew they were gonna have pro skaters in it.

Hard to decide. Grew up watching both. Sometimes they were hard to find at the rental store.

Solarbabies?

I loved both. I was more into freestyle than skating but both are a classic. I can’t think of the 80’s without Rad and Thrasin. I also really loved Gleaming the Cube.

That's funny I just grabbed a rad racing hoodie yesterday.

Blue Velvet?

Search for Animal Chin beats them all

Send me an angel....

Rad

Breakin

Rad!!!

Rad was a great movie!!

Thrashin'. It was the ONLY skateboard access I had in the 80s besides magazines. I watched it every single day in the summer before going outside to skate.

I've never even heard of Thrashin', but I was obsessed with Rad.

🎵THUNDER IN YOUR HEART🎵

Rad 💯

Rad for Life!

Rad all the way

This is like picking my favorite child.

Don't make me do this, not on a Saturday, please.

Rad and Gleaming the Cube .

Rad, but I only saw it because I raced bmx at the time

I prefer Thrashin' , but Rad has "Thunder in your Heart".

RAD definitely. I was enamored by that movie as a child. I saw it again many years later as an adult and I was so disappointed. lol

RAD

RAD all day. I watched RAD more times then any other movie growing up, except maybe the Goonies. It’s amazing. Watched it with me three kids lately and its still great. The soundtrack is in heavy rotation in my house as well. The opening credits with all the guys just throwing some the best tricks ever.

Between these two, Rad, but my brother and I wore out our VHS of the Search for Animal Chin.

RAD fo sho!

I have thunder in my heart, sir.

That soundtrack was off the chain

Rad…hands down. Why? Because Cru is Rad. lol.

Thrashin was also one of the favs…not knocking it.

Breakdance 2 Electric Boogaloo ftw.

Rad was the shit!

Rad.

I was overseas in Japan from 1986-1988 I had no idea these movies even existed. I missed so much.

I prefer Thrashin' , but Rad has "Thunder in your Heart".

Who's that crashing? Why, it's Hollywood Mike Miranda once again.

Big trouble in little china

Oh my god....this is a hard damn choice. I watched both until i wore the tapes out in 7th grade.

Ok i give Rad a SLIGHT edge due to the soundtrack

BUT the chili peppers in Thrashin with Black Eyed Blonde put it right up there too.

But in the end.......ass sliding wins

I got both of these on DVD for $5 each years ago from a Rite-Aid of all places. They had a little bin of dvds up by the register that I flipped through while waiting on line and was absolutely shocked to see them. Loved both as a kid but Thrashin more as I was always much more into skateboarding. I’ve seen them both too many times to remember.

Both!

Would Star Wars count as an eighties movie? Came out August 1979. If so it wins hands down.

The North Shore

Rad for sure

Rad was better I was a bmx racer

Rad

I never got to see Thrashin because my local video store didn’t have it.

Josh Brolins face looks 100% super imposed on someone else’s body

Thrashin all the way. Drooling over Josh Brolin every time I watched it

Neither........,

My favorite is....., Geaming The Cube. 1989

Solar babies!

Rad FTW

Rad, Gleaming the cube for me or Airborne

Gleaming the Cube / a Brother's Justice

RAD

Send me an Angel

No love for the citizen cane of human powered wheel sports movies...Prayer of the Rollerboys?

I mean, it was 1990. So I guess that disqualifies it.

In that case, Rad

I mean. Do I even have to say?

I highly suggest seeing it currently in theaters.

NO.

which one had “send me an angel” and kix?

that one.

When theres thunder... in. Your. Heart.

You know its like lightening.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 these wee both horrible

Both were great, was really into skating and BMX in the 80s

Rad

Breakin’

Rad

Gleaming the Cube is the only correct answer

Has to be RAD because I never watched Thrashin'.

RAD for sure. Rowdy Gaines…instant classic. Got me out and on my bike every time. Lots of skint knees because of this movie. Great times.

Rad 💯 %

Rad was my jam.

Thunder In Your Heart and Break The Ice are in my workout playlist. J/S

empire strikes back

My firstborn is named Cruz. Love me some RAD. Send me an angel.

I like that rollerblading movie. It might be from the early 90s tho.

RAD

Kids in the 'burbs had skate movies,
kids in the 'hood had rap/breaking movies.

There was some crossover. I was a 'hood kid but I saw Gleaming the Cube.
How could I not with a title like that?

Rad

Rad

Rad.

Rad 100%

Rad was Radical.

Ah the 80s, where every extreme sport got it's own movie.

BMX had RAD and BMX Bandits.

Skateboarding had Thrashin, Gleaming the Cube,

Rollerblading had Roller Blade and Solar Babies.

Snowboarding had Hot Dog the Movie, Better Off Dead,

Surfing had Surf II (It's not a sequel), Surf Nazis Must Die, North Shore.

RAD simply based on that song “thunder in your heart”

Rad was more memorable

Thrashin’ was like a traffic accident that was impossible to ignore.

Rad !!!!!

Rad. All. Day.

Only one has a Cabriolet, which as we all know is Hungarian for Fast Car!

Gleaming the Cube > Rad > Thrashin'

Rad all day

Rad because I was more of a BMXer than a skater, but both movies rock

RAD 💯

Rad

You forgot about BMX Bandits

Is Rad what they were referencing in that American Dad episode?

Dirt bike kid
