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

Customer Reviews

Let's be realistic
The movie for what it is is a good movie. Not everyone rides a motorcycle to know the differences. The movie is just to introduce you to something that non-bikers may not know existed.A sub-culture of people from various lifestyles getting coming together through motorcycle riding. As an African-American it was nice to see a movie that was not a gang banger movie, typical romantic comedy/man bashing movie. If this movie came on tv, would i watch it? More than likely. Will i buy it on dvd? YES. Was it entertaining? To me yes. To crotch-rocket riders, they may no like it, but to the average person that always wanted to ride a bike but never have they make like it. Kind of like the Fast and the Furious, when it came out and people that already where doing there cars like those complained about it being unrealistic, or Barbershop being unrealistic. Just enjoy the movie.

Biker Boyz
Don't listen to what some people are saying about this movie. It's great. The fresh faces in this movie really make it about racing and the motorcycle community (and they can really act!). It's fast paced and has great music. It's a must see for anyone that likes a nice ride.

biker boyz
