Valley boys take on the punk rockers in this teen-age adventure. This time they use skateboards instead of zip guns, knives and fists. The rich Valley kids, "The Ramp Locals," are led by Corey Webster, while the leather-clad, street-wise punks follow Tommy Hook. The trouble begins when Corey falls in love with Tommy's little sister who has come from Indiana for a visit. The rivalry between the gangs culminates during the grueling "LA Massacre," a 20-mile downhill skateboarding race. The winning team will earn a corporate sponsor. For the final race, the filmmakers strapped a camera in front of a skateboard to give viewers a sense of the thrills experienced by the daring "thrashers." ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Three years before Christian Slater was Gleaming the Cube, Goonies star Josh Brolin was tearing up the pavement in this skate-punk classic from MGM/UA Home Video. Viewable in either 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen or 1.33:1 pan-and-scan, this release offers a selection of either closed-captioned English Dolby Digital Mono or French Dolby Digital Mono with optional English, Spanish, or French subtitles. When you've finished the feature, skate over to the bonus-materials section of the disc for a commentary track featuring producer/co-writer Alan Sacks and the cast, a "Makin' Thrashin'" featurette, "Skatepark Sensations" freestyle montage, a Thrashin' reunion featurette, and an original theatrical trailer. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
