Two generations of radical bikers face off in this rubber-burning action drama. Manuel "Smoke" Galloway (Laurence Fishburne) is the leader of the Black Knights, an underground motorcycle club. Smoke, ... read more read more...like most of his fellow Knights, is a successful white collar worker who can afford fancy leathers and top quality bikes, and Smoke has earned a reputation as the "King of Cali," willing take on anyone in a drag race, legal or no. Kid (Derek Luke) is a gifted young rider whose father was once Smoke's mechanic; when Kid's dad died after an accident, Kid set out to become the best biker he could be to carry on his father's name and reputation. Smoke, however, has no room in the Black Knights for Kid, and so he and several fellow outcast riders start their own club, the Biker Boyz, and challenge Smoke to prove once and for all who is the fastest rider on the scene. Biker Boyz also features appearances from Orlando Jones, Lisa Bonet, Djimon Hounsou, Larenz Tate, and Kid Rock. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Feeble rip-off of The Fast And The Furious with motorbikes. It's true that TFATF was also dim-witted, contrived and loaded with cliches, but at least it did it with visual flair. This is just a waste of time.

    not worth getting revved up over.
  • April 8, 2006
    A good, bikers version of Fast and the Furious and MUCH better than Torque. Holds the elements of a person afraid to take that step into greatness even if they hold the talent.

    Good movie. This movie only have a little sad parts. The music is good.
  • January 20, 2007
    Not your average biker flick...Lawrence Fishburne once again delivers a believeable performance dispite the odds set up against him. Truly one of his most memorable performance since "Boyz 'N the Hood".

    Take The Fast And The Furious, swap cars for bikes, change Vin Diesel for Laurence Fishburne (always a good idea), and then chuck in a bit of soap opera - and you have Biker Boyz. It's really well made and a lot of care has been taken, plus Kid Rock's in it and shows that he has ... read moresome acting ability. Worth seeing.

    "One of my fave underrated films and my most watched movie (90+ times, i believe). Features solid performances by three always great actors: Derek Luke, Laurence Fishburne & Orlando Jones plus awesome supporting cast including Dijimon Hounsou, Rick Gonzalez, Lisa Bonet, Kidd Rock... read more & the extremely underrated Larenz Tate. Biker Boyz never gets old for me, i guess. It's just a great movie to me. P.S., this was the first movie i saw of the always gorgeous Meagan Good."

Guy flicks can be just as galling as the chick variety.

Not without moments of excitement, romance and rubber-burning redemption.

Nat Johnson, Village Voice

When the filmmakers aren't busy accommodating cameo models and comedians, they seem to be dozing off at the handlebars. Full Review

Biker Boyz is just a silly film. Full Review

The training-wheels version of The Fast And The Furious. Full Review

Has the stink of man-musk all over it.

The perfect testosterone-fueled, flash-edited, music-driven joy ride. Full Review

It takes some work to make 100-mph motorcycle races boring, but they've managed to pull it off here. Full Review

Biker Boyz had the potential to be a good movie -- if it had gone in one of two directions. Full Review

Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel

As street-racing pictures go, Biker Boyz doesn't do anything unexpected. But because it takes its characters seriously and slows down enough for us to get to know them.
