Description of Biker Boyz (Full Screen Edition):
When it's revved up to maximum rpm's, Biker Boyz qualifies as an adequate knockoff of The Fast and the Furious. Both films were inspired by magazine articles about speed-freak outlaws on the streets of California, only this time the nitrous-enhanced "rice rockets" are of the two-wheeled variety, and Smoke (Laurence Fishburne) is the reigning "King of Cali," leading a predominantly African American subculture that schedules illegal motorcycle races with high stakes and potentially lethal outcomes. Kid (Derek Luke, the promising newcomer from Antwone Fisher) is the latest challenger, facing off against Dogg (Kid Rock) and others before coming to terms with his own familial destiny. Following his incisive HBO debut, Dancing in September, director Reggie Rock Bythewood approached Biker Boyz as a modern Western, but it's really just a strutter's ball with polished chrome and tailpipes. Meagan Good, Lisa Bonet, and Vanessa Bell Calloway provide sexy feminine wisdom, badly needed in a movie that's all flash and precious little substance. --Jeff Shannon
Biker Boyz (Full Screen Edition) Reviews:
After a long time not seeing this film it"s still a classic 
2009-03-14 - After not seeing this film for a number of years it"s still a great movie. Black people not acting like fools and the "N" word, which most people of all cultures think of us, is hard to find. I ride and I'm part of a club and yes we ride fast, the only diffience is most of us do it in traffic so this isn't hard to believe. It's a great movie that's not so far from being real you can't beleive it and has no negative images of black people which is rare.
Awful movie, waste of celuloid 
2008-11-11 - It amazes me what some people in hollywood will put on film. This movie was just awful. I watched it one mornign on TV. Which is good. If I spent money to see htis ina theater I would have demanded my money back. The acting is horible, the race sequences are laughable, and the story is just plain dumb.
Biker Boy 
2008-11-02 - My son needed another one of this movie because he lost his and we couldn't find it at any of the stores around our home so I decided to look here. The movie came in great shape and my son loves it. This is his favorite movie! And since he's in a family with motorcycles, he is always on one of our bikes pretending to do tricks!!
Better than what I expected 
2008-03-25 - I'm not a biker nor do I know anything about bikes but I will say that I enjoyed Biker Boyz. Biker Boyz is a little decent film that isn't half bad consdering how quickly it was made.The film which was shot under the direction of Reggie Blythewood in 45 days. The script could have used a bit more work but the performances of Fisburne and Luke really highlight the film. The film has some nice bike stunts and features other good actors such as Megan Good, Larenz Tate and Orlando Jones. Throw in cameos by Tearrance Howard and Eria LaSalle and you have a good way to waste a Saturday afternoon.
Great movie!
2008-02-23 - I enjoyed this movie very much! An interesting story line and positive images of people of color.
Makes me love Laurence Fishburne even more!
