3.0 out of 5 stars Best movie about motorbike racing I've seen, January 23, 2001

This review is from: Silver Dream Racer [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Read this review with the understanding that I first saw this movie as a 12-year old at my local cinema around 1980. And then I went to go and see it another four times in the week after that. At that time, this movie just blew me away with its motorbike race scenes - and I also wasn't puked out by the romance sub-plot either - which is saying something for a 12-year old. The sight of David Essex zipping around the track on that gorgeous silver bike - and the sad conclusion to the movie -was enough to create a warm memory of the movie for me. I'll probably see it today and be able to intellectually accept its hokiness, but sentimentally - hey, it's a good memory from my youth so I'll probably buy it for my Guilty Pleasures collection (alongside An Officer and a Gentleman and Against All Odds).

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST BIKER MOVIE, October 14, 2002

By 

Lynne Massey (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Silver Dream Racer [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Quite a while since I first saw the film but having been to see David Essex live a couple of days ago when he sang the title track - it evoked memories of what an excellent "biker" film this was. It was a classic for its time - the race scenes were excellent and David portrayed the part par excellence.

The ending was unexpected and very dramatic - it leaves a constant memory for what was a brilliant film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy David Essex Will Blow You Away!, March 17, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Silver Dream Racer [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The best thing about this movie is David Essex. He is georgeous!
He just keeps getting better and better. And for any of you Essex fans who haven't seen this movie yet, there is a shower scene! As far as I'm concerned David shines in this. The song "I think I'll always love you" was composed by him but sung by someone else. It is lovely. I enjoyed this film so much I bought it in BETA, and am now purchasing it in VHS!
