My notes
I watched the hell out of this movie as a kid, so this was a return to nostalgia. First viewing as an adult, so I was shocked to find out wholesome this film was. Sure, the little sister swears, but folks are good natured - even the evil corporation. The bicycle boogie is still as absurd now and I was shocked to learn that this was the first example of a backflip on a BMX. The HD remaster did make it a bit obvious when stunt doubles were used.
