American Flyers

[Toks]

In m,y slightly inebriated state (Burp!) I've just turned on to BBC 1 and Kevin Kostner (Shaver Sport) has just won the first stage of a some big American race. Some of you older peeps may remember the actress, Ray Dawn Chong from the film - Comando, she just did an impressively quick wheel change for Costner. This is great; how comes I never knew about this film?

You're kidding right? - It's legendary and has been talked about dozens of times on this forum. Not quite as good as Breaking Away though

Yep. I've seen breaking away. An ex girlfriend of mine bought it for me a few years ago. American Flyer clearly got the big Hollywood treatment which works well. Some of those actors don't looks the best on a bike. That black guy, Robert Townsend looks awful on the bike... A nice cameo from a fresh face Eddie Merckx

I'm glad to see my view of this film hasn't changed over the years, its still one of the biggest piles of sh*te ever to be captured on celluloid in the history of film making, even worse than Waterworld, another Costner classic.
