Director Steve Boyum's loud, down-and-dirty ride through the world of Supercross motorcycle racing comes to a screeching halt for its many pit stops for Hollywood clichés.

(Steve Howey) and Trip (Mike Vogel) Carlyle clean pools to support their hunger for competitive motocross--dreaming of the day when they can get professional sponsorship and compete in the stadium event known as Supercross. Younger Trip is a loose cannon, constantly taking risks that make him a liability for a professional team. As a result, K.C. is the first to get sponsored. Unfortunately, just before his first race, he finds that he was hired simply to make sure that no one gets near the team's star, Rowdy Sparks (Channing Tatum). K.C.'s jealousy gets the best of him until he embarks on a romance with a spirited young female rider, Piper Cole (Cameron Richardson), whose biker father Robert Patrick (TERMINATOR 2) sees a potential winner in Trip and decides to give him sponsorship. Loud and colorful, with enough gravity-defying motorcross action to satisfy any fan, former stuntman Steve Boynum's directorial debut conveys the dangers of the sport as well as the fierce competition and corporate backstabbing it involves. Robert Patrick shines in his brief but effective role. Boasting a sexy young cast and plenty of stunt riding, SUPERCROSS is sure to give younger viewers enough eye candy to breezily pass 90 minutes.

Reviews for Supercross: The Movie
Instead of plot, Boyum treats us to some meaningless but incredible sights, like that of a motorcyclist and her vehicle doing a backward somersault in midair.
A film whose level of imagination can be discerned right from its title.
And then came Supercross: The Movie, the long-anticipated filmic adaptation of Shakespeare’s lost play...
Supercross is basically just a high-gloss delivery device for off-road racing scenes.
The plot is as thin as a worn tire, despite some glimpses of insight into motorcycle racing.
Dumb as dirt, heavy on decibels and crazed with sales plugs, Supercross: The Movie is a clunker of a youth action fable.
Supercross racing may be an exciting spectator sport and even more rapturous for the participants, but none of that noisy exhilaration has made its way into Supercross.
In every sense, the movie feels like a pilot for a program that would follow The Mountain, that ski resort show on the WB.
A thoroughly laughable underdog-takes-the-gold saga...supercross this pathetic slice of hokum from your viewing list.
The "stars" with wheels get treated better than the ones with faces - more screen time, better lighting and makeup, a bigger entourage ... [even] better dialogue.
It's decent, against all odds -- or it would have been, had the producers bothered to shell out for an actual filmmaker to take the helm.
Most of the film is motorcycles flying through the air, which gets monotonous quickly. Clearly this film was made for the cinematography, not for explaining Supercross.
It’s all one long, sustained, amateurishly directed blur, rendering Supercross the movie and the sport about as appealing as a slapfight.
