Quicksilver (1986)
Member Rating:  
In this underscripted and not wholly convincing drama, Kevin Bacon plays Jack Casey, an up-and-coming broker who crashes on the stock market one day and cashes in whatever he has left to become a bicycle messenger in San Francisco. Although not exactly a logical alternative, bicycling the hilly streets of S.F. turns out to be dangerous after Casey runs into Gypsy (Rudy Ramos), the street pusher who has the messengers run drugs for him. A series of characters and events drop in and out of the conflict between Gypsy and Casey, including love interest Terri (Jami Gertz) and Casey's friend Hector (Paul Rodriguez). Music dominates throughout the film which includes scenes of breakdancing on bikes. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

    I diffently think this was classic Kevin Bacon. This is probaly an underated film but I think you shouldgive it a chance. If you love bike tricks there's a great scence in this movie with alot of them. I didn't believe some of the tricks I seen but they were really doing them. Great story line you won't be bored. I thiink Kevin Bacon played a good role in this movie and thats why I'm going to have to own this movie and add it on to my 80's collection. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

    Cheese but fun. If you are into bikes and think you would enjoy seeing bike tricks to 80's synth music, check this one out. Also, when Kevin Bacon first appears on screen he has, arguably, the worst mustache ever captured on film. Stunning.
