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

"Fast and furious" on two wheels.......2007-01-27

Firstly this film will, and should, only interest bikers. If you are not a biker, you will not get it.

Yes the plot and some of the characters are a bit thin, and transparent, but that's not the point. In the same way as "The Fast & The Furious" will only be truly enjoyed by nitro-blasting Japanese car drivers, this escapist tale of urban heroes racing their bikes means it is a film for a particular corner of the population. My view is that it never tries to be a popular groundbreaking fairy tale of a film, it just aims itself between the eyes of fellow bikers, and in that respect it is on target. The film does have atmosphere, some truly corny lines, and some excellent cinematography. Laurence Fishburne and crew play fairly well, surrounded by Hip-Hop playing, beer drinking urban anti-heroes while Kid Rock portrays the stereo-typical image of the grungy, greasy, chopper riding dropout.

However the true stars are the bikes. If you fancy seeing a tricked-up Busa, or stoppies and wheelies on Gixa's and R1's and some pretty hair-raising stunts, some even genuine then buy this. If not then go and watch Driving Miss Daisy.

Biker Boys.......2006-03-21

I think the movie is great. It is one of my favorites. I have watched it twice since i got it. It is just one of those movies that you could watch over and over again and get excited everytime. It inspires you to want to have a motorcycle even if you are not going to ride it. (like me)

pretty dull.......2006-03-17

Lots of nice bikes but this movie was way to serious and emotional to have a name like "biker boys"... ..You should probably rent it before u buy it and if ur lookin for a real action packed biker movie get "torque" instead..O, and the special features were as dull as the movie

Thrilling action packed movie with tons of crazy stunts..........2005-11-14

I really enjoyed this movie. If you are looking for a crazy motorcycle movie with tons of stunts, then this is the movie for you. It is more realistic than torque in a lot of aspects, while still having some scenes that you know are pretty fake. The crazy stunts they performed were wild and very entertaining, and the actual story was alright. It is about a kid whose father dies, and his mother is against motorcycle racing, yet the kid secretly does it and starts his own Biker Group. This is a good movie and I really enjoyed it.
