Gleaming the cube (1989)

My friend entrusted me with a bunch of old VHS's a few years ago. I admitted Gleaming the cube into my shelf only half-heartedly, but believe me, this is the quality stuff of cheesy action movies from the 80's. Fun all the way. Be prepared for horrible music, "groovy" stunts and bad fashion. And Christian Slater as a skate kid who becomes involved in sorting out the messy details of his brother's death - i.e: "a young man awakens to adult responsibiity" - a great philosophical tale indeed (look at that hairdo!). Could it be any better? HELL NO! I must say I really enjoyed this, even the extremely long car chase.
