BMX Bandits

BMX Bandits begins with two teenagers Goose (James Lugton) and PJ (Angelo D’Angelo), going for a ride around Manly, New South Wales on their BMX cycles. Little do they know that at the same time, a gang of thieves are organising a bank robbery at the local bank. Dressed in Pig masks they smash their white van into the bank and hold up the bank with guns. Goose and PJ, oblivious to this fact, are zooming around the streets of Manly, irritating passing pedestrians and businesses. Goose and PJ, not only cycle around the town, but also do all kinds of stunts and BMX tricks, which causes some havoc, but evolves into humorous results. The gang of thieves make an escape and swap cars, leaving the original car untraceable. We are taken back to the town centre, where we meet the third central character, Judy (Nicole Kidman). Judy is working at the local supermarket when PJ and Goose crash into the shopping trolleys. This accident causes Judy to lose her job, the job she needs to save for her own BMX. The three defeated youth’s head for the arcade amusement parlour, where they make jokes about their lack of income. The decoy and second getaway car pulls into a warehouse, where the monetary exchange is made between the gang members and The Boss (Bryan Marshall). The next plan of attack is formed between ‘The Boss’ and Whitey (David Argue) and Moustache (John Ley). The order is given for the two thieves to pick up the walkie-talkies that are essential to the overall crime plan.
