What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Made in 1979: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Teen lovers Bobby and Terry band together with other roller skaters to try and prevent a powerful mobster taking over the land their favourite skating rink sits on, and compete in the Boogie Contest.
