Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Manthast Absolutely amazing

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

milosengle3 THRASHIN' is The Movie! Everything is right in this '80 classic. There are greater movies. More profound movies. Movies of greater artistic vision or originality or political significance. There are other titles I would put above it on my list of the best films of all time. But when it comes right down to the movies we treasure the most, when we are—let us imagine—confiding the secrets of our heart to someone we think we may be able to trust, the conversation sooner or later comes around to the same nine words: "Well what do you thrash?" "What do you got!" Life shod be like Thrashin': not to complicated,with good friends,not so bad enemies,sweet girlfriend and YES a happy ending !!! My candidate for the best Hollywood '80. movie.Good race!!!

fittsy I think the previous comment was crazy.Gleaming the cube is a horrible skate movie.I know the screenplay of Thrashin wasn't any good but it was truer to skateboarding than Gleaming the Cube where a dude makes a skateboard out of steel plate! Thrashin had a ton of real skaters in it, they have the performance in the skateboarding night club by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and lots of other cool tidbits.The Daggers were obviously made up of Alva team skaters as one of Tony's classic designs was the Alva Dagger.I know Thrashin isn't an Oscar nominee but I give them a lot more credit than Gleaming the Cube. Thrashin tried to be truer to their skateboarding roots. Gleaming was just a way to GLEEN money from the movie goers pockets.As far as comparing it to Powell & Peralta Bone's Brigade movies... those were skate videos and featured primarily skateboarding sequences. There weren't a lot of story lines or acting. Even The Search for Animal Chin only has a limited amount of story and is entirely focused on the skateboarding.

shred4life If you take everything seriously and have a hard time finding something funny if it doesn't readily involve someone you've seen on MTV or lots of cussing, please don't see this movie. This is the kind of movie that you have to realize right away how bad it is. That's why it's a well loved film, it's so awful it's genius. It's just funny to watch them cruising down the sidewalk pulling little acid drops off of ledges, power sliding, and most of all the carving. It was all downright gnarly back then, and there's these 10 minute clips of them just tearing it up down the street, terrorizing all the citizens.If that part is at all lacking, the skateboard joust makes up for it. I kid you not, two rival gangs fight the best way they can: tie some boxing gloves to a stick and some string and try and knock each other off their boards. And they're dead serious about it, they steez out in war paint and everything. It's amazing. After that some stuff gets burnt down, and then we see a lot of pros and other sick kids ride some bowls and that's all way cool and nostalgic and whatever. The main kid gets the girl and then somehow ends up in a massive downhill race, and you get to see him train for it all Rocky style. He even has duct tape on his hands, kid goes full mechanism. If you actually want to watch it for the plot I won't ruin it for you (although it wouldn't be hard, since there really is none). This is a life changing experience, you'll be a better person if you sit through it.

rossiyem what's this all about. The storyline is weak but there are some really cool scenes.After all in the 80's skateboarding was about fun........ and how cool is the LA Massacre ha ha ?Some h/c skaters still on their boards may even recognize the Dagger's skatepark which occasionally crops up in skate videos now a days.This videos has all kinds of real skating.... and it's great to see skaters who aren't afraid of bombing a hill or too.... check out the car park sceneSome of the people in this video are living legends.... not to mention the chilli peppers..... just ordered this DVS as I had it in VHS and it was so old the tape kept on tearing.
