The Dirt Bike Kid is a 1985 urban fantasy film directed by Hoite Caston, written by David Brandes and Lewis Colick, and starring Peter Billingsley, Stuart Pankin, Anne Bloom, Patrick Collins and Danny Breen.
The film tells about a boy who discovers a magic dirt bike that has a mind of its own, with part of the film’s story inspired by Jack and the Beanstalk.
This would be the last theatrical film to star Peter Billingsley in a lead role to date; he largely moved to behind-the-scenes roles and small cameo appearances afterward until the 2022 direct-to-Internet special A Christmas Story Christmas.
Review submission by Elle (8) Adelaide: I really like the songs in the movie, I listen to it all the time. I love when the kid rides the bike in the sky and gets chased by the police man. It’s funny and good, I like all of it.
