Dumb action thriller that tries to combine crime drama with skateboarding. Lacking in humour, and other than the preposterous title, completely forgettable.

This was an instant cult classic due to the cameo appearances of the most famous skaters in the world. As a film, it really doesn't stand on it's own. It's a great 80's nostalgia flick though.

Slater is a skateboard punk caught up in mystery and entrail. It does have a cameo by Tony Hawk among other famous riders of the time. If you like skateboarding, give it a whirl. If not, then, rent Ghoulies.
