Biker Boyz is set in the underground
world of California motorcycle racing. Smoke (Laurence Fishburne) is
the undisputed 'King of Cali', with over 200 straight wins. A freak
accident ends up killing his mechanic, Slick Will, devastating Smoke.
Six months after, Will's son Kid (Derek Luke) emerges on the racing
scene with all the talent in the world but a hot-shot attitude to go
with it. He starts his own gang of hot-shot racers known as the Biker
Boyz, with Kid's ultimate goal being to take down Smoke and become
King of Cali.
I've heard people call Biker Boyz dumb, predictable, trying to be like
Fast and the Furious on bikes...maybe that is all true. But in the
end, it still entertained me. I always enjoy Fishburne, Luke is pretty
decent and a supporting cast including Orlando Jones, Kid Rock and
Brendan Fehr seem to all mesh well. There are some cool biking stunts,
and the story itself is no worse than the previously mentioned Fast
and the Furious.
As for the extras, the best would be an interesting documentary hosted
by Orlando Jones describing the making of the film, while introducing
us to real bike gangs from California, including the real King of Cali.
The production notes for the film also provide some cool tidbits about
making of the movie. There are also some deleted scenes (with no
commentary), cast & crew bios and a photo gallery. There is no
commentary with the DVD.
If you're expecting to see a high caliber movie, don't waste your
time. But if you're looking to pass a couple hours and probably be
entertained, you could do a lot worse than Biker Boyz.
