QUICKSILVER Blu-ray

I liked the story line and light romance. It was interesting to see how Kevin Bacon looked into the Stock Section of the Newspaper to build a strategy to trade stocks. He floor traded stocks for one day and you could see the real movement of his purchase going up and down. He had to stick to his belief of a future positive movement even though the price fell below his purchased price. The price went up later in the day and he sold it for a gain and didn't get greedy. This short 3 minute scene was packed with emotion and ended on a positive note. The movie overall was a nice 80's feel movie. Read more

The worst of cliched 80s synth music, ridiculous plot, makes San Francisco look totally gray and abysmal, but Janie Gertz, Kevin Bacon, Louie Anderson, Paul Rodriguez & (very briefly) Lawrence Fishburn plus some gorgeous classic bikes (Kevin Bacon's magically changes from fixie, to single speed, to something with an audible freewheel click) and a killer bike/car chase as well as some rad old-school freestyle & trials stuff... put it all together and whaddya got? One of the best bad movies of the 80s. And a classic for any cycling nerds. Such as myself. Read more

Yes, this movie is kind of unrealistic but so what. And just to re-clear up the bike thing. It wasn't a coaster brake bike like you had on your old banana seat bike when you were a kid. It's a track bike with a fixed gear. Which means the pedals spin as long as the rear wheel spins. And backward pressure slows your speed but does not completely stop it.That why he always jumped off the back and grabed the seat when he wanted to stop quickly. That is also why anyone crazy enough to ride a track bike on the street usually has a front brake installed. Look at the scenes where he is freestyling in his apartment. He is pedaling backward. This can only be done on a fixed gear. No coaster brake. If you look really closely at some of the scenes you will be able to see different bikes. Like when Bacon rides down the stairs, you can see the bike he's on has brakes. Obviously for the stunt. But I really like this movie. I've been a messenger and I always wanted the place I worked to be like that movie. We never went outside and freestyle in the street while the boom box played. And hot girls never gave me their phone number. But we get to see Lawrence Fishburne as Voodoo when was still know as Larry. And that's worth the 13 bucks right there. Read more

This movie is very original. I really can't explain why this movie to me is so great. But it is definitely worth getting. Like this movie so much, I'm getting a bike next April. There I'll explain it like that !!!! Read more

Best movie of the 80's not to be miss. 😊🙏🙏 Read more

This is supposed to be a movie, but the cutting (or is it the story?) makes it seem like a video, the kind where You can't always follow the logic. Or maybe I should use the analogy of comic strips? There are other films about bike messengers I have seen that gives more of a feel of the work. There are other films about people at the stock exchange I have seen that gives more of a feel of the work. This one just slips in between the two. It's not a bad movie. It's just ordinary.

A little campy at times and they jump around between SF LA and New York but they never really name a city in the movie. Colleague recommended as I cycle and we work in finance. I enjoyed it Read more
