Silver Dream Racer (1980)
Lost my faith in the Underdog
OK, fine, I admit that the movie plot is a bit cheezy, though the Silver Dream Racer did fuel my aspirations of becoming a professional motorcycle racer (a dream I later abandoned because of my inability to even be able to ride a rudimentary bicycle). I saw this movie in the early 90's when I was still a wee lad, and believe me it made me lose faith in the Underdog forever! OK, so here's Nick, a young rider on a hot bike who kicks much butt at Silverstone, destroying everything from Germans to Australians to Americans and even surviving the dreaded American tag team death trap! A man that rides perfectly to the very end when he crosses the finish line and makes the only life-shattering mistake of removing his hands from the handlebar to signify his victory and suddenly has his bike wobble, crash into a wall, and then explode in a spectacular pyrotechnic display. Where is the justice?
