Movie Reviews of Gleaming the Cube
Movie Review: Influential Movie.....Typical Action Plot
Summary: 5 Stars
Gleaming the Cube is a great action flick if you're a fan of the typical 80's high flying intense action with weak plots. If you were a skateboarder around the time this film was released like myself, or a skater period. You will uphold this movie with high regard. This movie inspired so many people in the late 80's to start skateboarding. It introduces the intriguing and exciting culture of skateboarding paralleled to an action/mystery plot. The skateboarding scenes were shot well...due to the skateflick cinematography guru, Stacy Peralta. There were plenty of scenes with monumental tricks such as Natas Kaupas's famous ollie into the bed of the pickup truck. If you watch the movie today you can pinpoint certain mistakes that should have been edited. Like the poor stunt double shots ( you can tell that one stunt double is Mike McGill and the other guys on the streets are Rodney Mullen and Natas Kaupas). You also can't even forget about how they tried to actually make us believe that the Mike McGill skateboard and the skinny freestyle board with the same graphic were the same board...yeah right! Also, it's pretty funny, that whenever you see Christian Slater trying to skate he pushes goofy footed mongo. But all of his stunt doubles pushed regular footed. It's funny in a sarcastic sort of way, and its something that we all can identify and find humorous. But that's what makes this movie a classic amongst the skate population. It's something that all of us can immediately relate to. This is a must have for any real skate heads out there. It will immediately cause you to reminisce about a time when skating was genuinely all about having fun.
