Slick Will, the mechanic for a legendary motorcycle racer named Smoke (Laurence Fishburne), is struck dead during an off-the-grid race. Following the funeral, and in opposition to his mother's protests, Slick Will's son, Kid (Derek Luke), starts racing in the same fringe circuit -- but, despite Kid's skill and showmanship, Smoke refuses to race him. Spurned by the man he looked up to, Kid starts a rival motorcycle gang called the "Biker Boyz," and a showdown between them is inevitable.

Critics Consensus

Waste of a good cast. For a movie about bike racing, it never gets up to speed.

Alexander Walker

London Evening Standard

The dialogue is almost as loud as the exhausts; and the bits of detail aren't enough in a movie that teens may find delivers an unpalatable message -- daddy knows best.

This underdeveloped outline of a movie concerns motorcycle hustlers striving to become the “King of Cali” for reasons we can never know.

The List

Basically this is a cheap rip-off of The Fast and the Furious, with fewer thrills, fewer spills, and two fewer wheels.

Absolutely LOVE this movie. The star power, quality narrative, the different relationship dynamics at play, the extreme emotional context and the overall sense of freedom. It all resonated with me and I absolutely loved the soundtrack. This is one of my top ten movies of all time and if you want to watch a feel good movie with some angst, a lot of heart and some laughter this is that one. Powerful! 🏍️💨🏍️💨🏍️💨

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Because of the fabulous cast I was hoping it was going to be a great film but it was sadly a huge disappointment! It did have part's that were believable but unfortunately most of the movie was lack lustre.

This movie was star studded. I gave it 5 stars for the cast, story line, and the ending which reminded me of my father. He passed away last June and now I have to pick up the torch. The ending was emotional for me and I have the torch now.

Silly and amateurish. Despite an impressive cast (Laurence Fishburne, Terence Howard, Orlando Jones, Lisa Bonet, Eriq LaSalle...) it looks like a student film.

i give it a so fresh absolutely must see because they managed to get some of the most beautiful artists together all in one place on one film...its a stunning cast. who doesnt like leather bad attitudes raunchy lusty sexy fleshy dirty ? This to me is a cult classic. timeless. very informative about culture (sociologically speaking). I lived in brooklyn ny with some rastas and one of them from the west indies was a biker boy...i dont think they ever gathered that huge usually in small numbers they would ride the west side hwy...run light weave in and out of traffic out run the cops getting on and off the highway there...buzzing through the hoods......always getting injured one time came home foot all blown up from clipping it on a parked car. I almost gave this movie 1 star for not having wesley snipes in it..
