Before Lori Loughlin got embroiled in the college
admissions scandal (her trial is schedule for October of this year), she
starred in director Hal Needhan’s 1986 BMX bike racing flick, Rad. Which, ironically, has one of its plot
elements an upcoming SAT test, which conflicts with a major BMX race … don’t
you just love it when life imitates art (or is it the other way around? No matter.).
Vinegar Syndrome announced this past week that a new
4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack edition of Rad will
be available on May 26.
Cru (Bill Allen — Born on
the Fourth of July, Sioux City) is
a hot-shot BMX biker, who sees his big chance at fame when Mongoose Bicycles
announces the Hell Track race challenge, which features a cool $100,000
prize.
The only problem is, the fix is in, as Duke Best
(Jack Weston — Dirty Dancing, Gator, The Thomas Crown Affair,
etc.), the owner of Mongoose, wants his in-house BMX rider, Bart Taylor (Bart
Conner), to win the event.
Christian is Lori Loughlin’s character, who is also
a BMX rider … she has the hots for Cru … the big issues are the race, which, as
mentioned, falls on the same date at the SAT college tests (perhaps Loughlin
can help out), and then there’s that big high school dance. And, of course, lots of BMX action.
Others included in the cast are veterans Talia Shire
(Rocky),
Ray Walston and former NFL player, H.B. Haggerty.
Bonus goodies include a newly-minted commentary
option with Talia Shire, who is joined by her son, Robert Schwartzman and a new
video session with writer and co-producer Sam Bernard. Archived features include a commentary option
with the cast and crew, multiple video sessions with members of the cast and
crew and a stills gallery.
