This is a very underrated NC "We're like **shimmy** special." "I expected much more from Dairy Queen." "The only thing I'm good at is riding this bike." "Wow that's unbelievably sad." **Last Crusade music** "Now if you will, Bart, crank that Tom Jones."
"I killed a family in World War II. That's why I have such a harsh outlook on reality." All in favor of seeing a movie about the old man and the way he deals with his demons say "Aye."
Huminor The Fool That's hilarious XD And it reminds me of the time me and my dad entered a parking lot to escape traffic, and it turned out the other exit was chained off so my dad shouted "OH! ISN'T THAT SPECIAL??" XD
I've found a movie named "Woah" (www.imdb.com/title/tt2865544/) and one named "RRRrrr!!!" (www.imdb.com/title/tt0357111/) No AAAAH though... Creativity :D
The old guy at 2:09 is Boothby, the groundskeeper at Star Fleet Academy who was a friend and mentor to Picard (and whose likeness was later used by Species 8472).
Isaac Clorke How many Germans watch these videos? Wenn wir genug sind können wir ihn zwingen schätze der Deutschen Kultur und Film Geschichte zu Preisen ... ok da gibt es nicht viel, vielleicht die Szenen mit Schweiger von Inglorious Basterds. Oder diese Szene von der Untergang... und das wars auch schon .
I loved this movie, and still do. Everything you said was spot on, but it does not change the fact that I love this film and still have it on VHS when I recorded it off of HBO. GETTING READY TO BREAK THE ICE!!
Lol yeah it's the BMX community. They consider it the only reasonable bmx movie (which is bloody sad), so they protect it like nothing. No one else has bothered to watch this movie and rate it, so it ends up wildly scewed.
A movie called Rad could be really cool, if it was recent and was super over the top. Now if it was made in the 80's it would turn out, well the fact that NC is reviewing it tells you everything.
Fun fact: This is the movie with the biggest discrepancy on rotten tomatoes. 5 out of 5 reviews butchered it, resulting in an official 0% on RT. Meanwhile, over 7000 people from the audience rated this movie and it got a 91% audience rating. There is NO other movie in the database with such a gap between those two ratings.
"Do you need to know the plot? No. Do you need to know the characters? No. Do you need to know anything about this movie outside of the title to know it absolutely sucks?" Sounds like the Emoji Movie
1:40 I like it how he uses the music from Paperboy, it definitely works, but I would've also put in the main theme from Skate or Die in some parts of this review
01:12 "rape the eyes"!?!?!? D: Even the old man rides a BMX bike? When has an old geezer ever ridden a BMX bike...in a bow-tie and ivy-cap, no less? This is truly the Huffy universe...
1:25 If there is one thing about the 80s that isn't so different about today, it's the fact that some music producers choose the worst banks on their synths. Weird to think that this soundtrack was made a good 15 years after that beautiful synth cover of Funeral March of Queen Mary was used as the intro music for A Clockwork Orange.
I never knew the American Dad riff when Stan and Fran bike to see who gets to parent Steve was an ACTUAL reference until today. I just figured they were making fun of standard 80's underdog athlete movies.
"I made six movies doing the exact opposite of what she says" .It's only 5 movies,because she's died of cancer between the fifth and sixth movies.That joke was still funny though.
@don't... it is a cult classic. It directly influenced the extreme sports you see today. Without RAD, you wouldn't have the x-games. It was that influential to kids around the time it came out. It didn't do well in the theaters, but it did gangbusters on home video. It is so popular, they even had a reunion in 2011. Doug was just slightly too young to see its influence.
what was sad was that Rocky's wife thought that a bike race would somehow prevent the kid from going to college in some strange way.
It's a well known fact that 80's college administration felt threatened by centrifugal force
Yeah, she treats it like he’s gonna choose pursuing a life as a UA-camr over going to Harvard or something
@@benm5970 Laughs in Mr. Beast
@@sirgalahad1376laughs at you in Russian
Well clearly she doesn't want her kid to be indoctrinated by leftist activist teachers. Smart woman.
The title's great because "Rad" is another word for bike in German.
Mister Master Muffin Man Maybe this movie is promoting special vehicle brands from Germany?
Mister Master Muffin Man isn't it Fahrrad?
Fahrrad is the correctl term, but Rad (literally "wheel") is probably used equally often, it's just shorter and people are lazy. :P
"Rad" means wheel in german. "Fahrrad"(directly translated drive wheel) means bicycle but some people use rad as shortcut.
I was gonna make that joke. Darn.
This is a very underrated NC
"We're like **shimmy** special."
"I expected much more from Dairy Queen."
"The only thing I'm good at is riding this bike." "Wow that's unbelievably sad."
**Last Crusade music** "Now if you will, Bart, crank that Tom Jones."
You could say it’s considered “special”
Duke Best: *slam!* THINK about it!
Muppets: Ahh!
"I killed a family in World War II. That's why I have such a harsh outlook on reality."
All in favor of seeing a movie about the old man and the way he deals with his demons say "Aye."
docdave15 There probably are movies about that sort of thing.
Aye
Aye!
Aye!
Aye!
I love how he's uploading a lot of his older lost stuff. It seems so nostalgic even though I've never seen any of it. I love that feeling.
weirdlystrange2000 did he have an older channel that got deleted?
Cursed By Beauty He switched channels.
weirdlystrange2000 nostalgic for the nostalgia critic...
I don't know about his channel, but a lot, I mean a LOT of his videos has been deleted for copyright infringement
More like the Nostalgic Critic
"I've watched these kids grow up. I've chased every one of them."
Um...
We had a cop like that
I know it's a bit random but... that bald police officer would have made a great Robotnik/Eggman...
I thought the exact same! Commented about it too. He looks so much like him.
"-Hey, listen.
What would Jesus do?
-Take me.
-Okay"
So deep bro, so deep.
This was "swag" and "yolo" of the 80s. See? Every decade sucks.
and will suck
I'm sooo impatient to see in what ways the 20s gonna suck !
At this point nuclear amergedan or the rise of the mechines,PS5s becoming selfaware and breain washing us
At least "yolo" has a meaning. Otherwise, yeah.
You misspelled 'congratulations'.
"Katie and I are like... special!" Could someone make a gif of that, PLEASE?
Thomas The Ninja Artist use captions
that moment made me die on the inside
This whole movie made me die on the inside
Huminor The Fool That's hilarious XD And it reminds me of the time me and my dad entered a parking lot to escape traffic, and it turned out the other exit was chained off so my dad shouted "OH! ISN'T THAT SPECIAL??" XD
Matthew Pineau Omap XD
There should be a movie called, "Woah".
Ezra Anderson or "AAAAH"
I've found a movie named "Woah" (www.imdb.com/title/tt2865544/) and one named "RRRrrr!!!" (www.imdb.com/title/tt0357111/) No AAAAH though...
Creativity :D
six2make4 Thank you
I liked "RRRrrr!!!" growing up
Ten bucks says that's gonna be the name of the bio-pic about Keanu Reeves.
It's like calling a movie "Epic"- oh wait
It's like calling your movie, Epic Movie, Oh wait.
Avakrr Like the "Epic" movie from Blue Sky Studios XD
18Gingasoldier Good job you found the joke!
Does anyone remember that movie
there is actually a book called EPIC!, and it is a REALLY good book
"We read poetry and picked flowers by the church"
Blazinghearts And *THAT* is how you know, things are getting serious.
And went to a gay bar because that main character seems pretty gay.
Frodo Baggins Let me take you a gay bar, gay bar!
thirteenfury lel.
The only way you could do more 80s than that is by filming the kids from Breakfast Club playing NES and Rubikscube while listening Cindy Lauper.
Takuan Soho And all of them would have mullet’s that would make lions jealous of them.
Don't forget having The Goonies playing on the TV in the background somewhere
Takuan Soho Now that’s a movie I would definitely watch.
And have it filmed in Chicago since every 80's movie ever is always set in Chicago.
The old guy at 2:09 is Boothby, the groundskeeper at Star Fleet Academy who was a friend and mentor to Picard (and whose likeness was later used by Species 8472).
Are you Mike Stoklasa?
Holy shit this is the most 80s thing ever.
You take that back!
Grim Knight Never
Take it BACK!!!
To this movie's credit, it had some kick ass music. 80's music was the best.
fun fact, rad is actually the German word for wheel. I will give this movie the benefit of the doubt and assume it wanted a interesting foreign name.
the paperboy reference made me smile.
14:48 Didn't know Dr. Eggman was in this movie. "Get a load of this! I have a speech!"
To an 8 year old kid, Rad was AWESOME! One of my favorites growing up.
As a Japanese Yakuza once said
"That's rad!"
....holy shitballs!
At 14:50, hey look it's Dr. Eggman/Robotnik! LOL🤣
"wow critic's talking a bit too fast. did he up the speed of the video?" *doesnt realize the settings changed and the video is playing at 1.25 speed*
The 2018 remake will be called "Lit"...
Rad is also the german word for wheel
is good pun
Isaac Clorke and for bike too
Isaac Clorke How many Germans watch these videos? Wenn wir genug sind können wir ihn zwingen schätze der Deutschen Kultur und Film Geschichte zu Preisen ... ok da gibt es nicht viel, vielleicht die Szenen mit Schweiger von Inglorious Basterds. Oder diese Szene von der Untergang... und das wars auch schon .
NoSoMuSk ui
NoSoMuSk Dougs Mutter kommt aus Deutschland
Solange er keine Filme von "Dingo Pictures" reviewed xD
You know what the definition of rad is? Sonic the hedgehog on a skateboard.
TheIntimateAvenger That would explain why Eggman is here.
This movie is so forgettable I forgot NC did a review on it.
am I the only one who really likes those hand drawn thumbnails
I loved this movie, and still do. Everything you said was spot on, but it does not change the fact that I love this film and still have it on VHS when I recorded it off of HBO. GETTING READY TO BREAK THE ICE!!
This movie has the biggest difference between critic and audience reviews on rottentomatoes than any other movie.
Holy crap, you're not kidding...
Lol yeah it's the BMX community. They consider it the only reasonable bmx movie (which is bloody sad), so they protect it like nothing. No one else has bothered to watch this movie and rate it, so it ends up wildly scewed.

Rad is german for wheel.
The more you know
Apocolo toth I was just about to comment that. ^^
Apocolo toth also, it means bicycle too
And Danke is German for Thank.
*puts on pretentious glasses* nnnweeelll,actually Dank would be the word for that
13:45 Is the Nazi theme from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade... bit of a leap but hell German references and my favorite gag in the review :P
If you were German you could already tell what it is about, before you even watch it.
Luxra still a terrible pun
Totally tubular man.
my Older 1/2 Brother Used to Race BMX Bikes

that burger king joke is relatable for me..
this has always been one of my top five NC episodes and I'm so happy to revisit it on my marathon full run through at last.
That moment when Channel Awesome re-uploads a review you haven't seen yet. 😄😄😄
"Do you need to know the plot? No. Do you need to know the characters? No. Do you need to know anything about this movie outside of the title to know it absolutely sucks?"
Sounds like the Emoji Movie
Do you yes no do cheatctertere? No font
That "bike humping scene" should be a shooting star meme.
Nice to see that police officer Robotnik saves the day and let that dude bike.
14:21-14:24 "Nothing can compete with money! I'm glad I learned that now!"
14:25 You can see the gears in her mind clicking.
Now it all makes sense.
These old ass episodes kill me I don't what it is I guess when he is by himself without sketches he has just enough charm to make it work
9:37 I wonder if that homemade waterslide is still there.
IcYGodZ To be fair it would be much more fun than watching Rad.
There's no time limit on when you can take the SATs, you just need to prep before you take them. Also be prepared for a long ass test.
Why didn't Lori Loughlin buy his way into the race?
4:32
the police guy in the motorbike looks like Prof. Egg man :D
I know right...he's trying to catch em before they gotta go fast.
Moon Sailor since when was he called prof egg man
Gorbachev-tastic is due for a comeback. Let's make it happen people.
We had Yuri on Ice, now meet Yuri on BIKES
EverythingIC your being too nice to this movie
Leo Welch you're
I could of SWORN this was a Rocket Power Episode.
don't disrespect rocket power
Rewatching it, it had a lot of cringy episodes, but I found myself watching them again anyway. Tito and Ray will always be Nick's Greatest characters.
HellRay Probably, i mean rocket power wasn't exactly good
The Optimus/Megatron part had me in tears 😂
13:31 pretty much any Synthetic Man review
This is the most generic review ever.....and it's still better than this movie!
what if there was a movie call awesome
Nasaya Lucero I mean there is one titled "kickass".
And if Doug reviewed it, he would be reviewing "Awesome" on Channel Awesome. *mind explosion*
Broeckchen kickass earned it's name though.
Giovanni Orellana fuck you geek
This film is even more genius than the surfing ninjas.
1:40 I like it how he uses the music from Paperboy, it definitely works, but I would've also put in the main theme from Skate or Die in some parts of this review
The part of the police officer will now be played by Dr.Eggman.
Hal Needham loves montages more than breathing
did you re render these older episodes?? the footage is looking nice a crissssp!
13:45 This is by far my favorite bit in the review. Great reference to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade! XD
11:03 Eh. Still not as good as The Ugly Barnacle.
klimmr3021 My mother used to read that to me as a little kid. Good times.
@@jerrie1533 Did it help at all?
Critic you should do Eragon! (The movie)
Lycan_Jedi Gameplay Heck yeah
Second this^
He should do Hollow Man.
He has.
You can't be early to a video, you can be on time.
Why can't people realize this?
Actually you can't be on time either. You're always a few seconds late.
"I don't even want to know what she's doing to that seat!"
I... kinda do?
1:13 why does Hal need ham?
at 1:23 the center biker failed his wheelie.
It´s especially funny to me because "Rad" is german for "Wheel" and a common abbreviation of "Fahrrad" meaning Bycicle...
Whoa, didn't know Dr. Robotnik was in this movie. No wonder he's evil.
16:22 Super Socco product placement FTW!
01:12 "rape the eyes"!?!?!? D:
Even the old man rides a BMX bike? When has an old geezer ever ridden a BMX bike...in a bow-tie and ivy-cap, no less? This is truly the Huffy universe...
EgaoKage i knew an old guy who rode my BMX to go get blunt wraps once, but he was a bit weird.
I kind of miss when Critic would find these really obscure bad movies
Remember when he got straight into the review and didn't waste 10 minutes on some unfunny opening skit? Good times.
Tell me about it
1:25 If there is one thing about the 80s that isn't so different about today, it's the fact that some music producers choose the worst banks on their synths. Weird to think that this soundtrack was made a good 15 years after that beautiful synth cover of Funeral March of Queen Mary was used as the intro music for A Clockwork Orange.
Rad was not radical.
No it was tubular
I never knew the American Dad riff when Stan and Fran bike to see who gets to parent Steve was an ACTUAL reference until today. I just figured they were making fun of standard 80's underdog athlete movies.
Whoa...
Fun fact: The german word "Rad" is the short form of "Fahrrad" meaning "bike". ;)
"I made six movies doing the exact opposite of what she says" .It's only 5 movies,because she's died of cancer between the fifth and sixth movies.That joke was still funny though.
0% on Rotten Tomatoes
Tristan Hartup What's strange is that, on rotten tomatoes, 91% of the audience actually *LIKED* this movie.
@don't... it is a cult classic. It directly influenced the extreme sports you see today. Without RAD, you wouldn't have the x-games. It was that influential to kids around the time it came out. It didn't do well in the theaters, but it did gangbusters on home video. It is so popular, they even had a reunion in 2011. Doug was just slightly too young to see its influence.
+Dregory Dewhard Just because it had influence doesn't mean it isn't a bad movie.
bad is subjective
Dregory Dewhard Doug was in the target age range when the movie came out.
It was a big rock! Lol! I laughed so loud I woke up my wife!
Mine, too. I smiled at the Paperboy reference, but that was just classic!
7:29 "Music that you can dance to" by Sparks
Review Scott Pilgrim?
Scott Pilgrim??
Never Ever Heard Of It!!!!
5:10 it's like they have that odd villain-hero friendship from Tom & Jerry
"Guy's, it's time for the daily chase routine"
"Oh, alright"
2:15 was that a magus reference?
is that transformers 2007 movie on 17:11
I misread the title as Raid as in The Raid. I am severly dissapointed!
J5: kidnap the humans but destroy the machine. now I'm really pissed off!
oscar: what are you? punishment from god?
Damn you Nostalgia Critic for bringing back up the Saw-op clip. You almost made me die off laughter.
Pre-scandal Lori Loughlin and Send Me An Angel by Real Life! YES PLEASE!
I love the basic review that don't have huge manufacturer. they are so good
@ 8:08, SEND ME AN ANGEL!? HELL YEAH. MOVIE REDEEMED. :D
Hahahaha the indiana jones song at 13:50 .
The Paperboy theme got me. 😂😂😂
The clip of Pee wee's Big Adventure was a nice touch xD
I still say "Like special" with the shimmy instead of "special" because of this.
RAD is an awesome 80s movie!
funny thing is that "rad" is the german word for "bike"
Lara Smith I was thinking the same, greetings from Austria.
greetings back also from austria
So this is what American Dad made fun of?
2020: How's Lori Laughlin doin now?
your going to need a rad miracle, a radacle if you will
