Quicksilver youthsploitation moviemaking at its most youthsploitative, doesn't include breakdancing, although it does include bikedancing, which sort of rhymes with breakdancing.

As long as the characters are doing stunts or whizzing impossibly through city traffic to a strong rock beat, there's something to watch. For the rest of the time, ''Quicksilver'' is as much fun as a slow leak.

The movie has moments when it comes to life, when it threatens to tell a story about interesting people, and then it wanders off into inane scenes designed only to sell records.

Quicksilver fares best in its familiar yet entertaining opening stretch...

My introduction to fixie bikes. The design means a direct connection from the pedals to the rear wheel. And no brakes.

This is a great film. It really highlights the excitement of urban cycling. One of Kevin Bacon's most underrated films.

Look this film is a corny cheesy 1980's mess of a film, but I liked it and I have no idea why I liked it.
