This movie is awesome!! It's not that the acting or script deserves an Oscar, but it inspired so many kids from the 80's and early 90's to go get bikes and have fun! My gosh, I saved up $300 to get a Robinson bike just to ride the "dirt trails" with my buddies who did the same. My little brother included. If you're an adult watching this for the first time outside 1994, you don't understand how much us kids loved it. Rad and Short Circuit 2 are icon movies for us kids that grew up in the 80's and early 90's. Watch it for what it is and realize the soundtrack was snubbed for an award
