I was 10 when this came out...😂😂😂 and no lie everyone of my close friends and myself all had skateboards the next weekend after seeing this movie....😂😂 80's were mad fun as a kid!!!!
Wow I just learned something Tony Hawk huh sometimes people become famous way after the fact!lol I never knew that of course at the time I was into mongoose dirt bikes lol 😆
One of the bits I love about this movie. Brian’s friends don’t abandon him when he changes. They realize he is going through something and tell him they are there for him.
Yeah, I think that's a plus for him. He was going thru a very hard time after Vinh died, he was trying to get some answers, and maybe improve on his bad boy image for Tina (Vinh's gf.). If anything, they probably thought with the short hair, and the preppy clothes, that he was going thru a phase, and he'll probably snap out of it.
My brother, a manager of mine at my day job loved this movie. It was his favorite movie of all time. He passed away recently. He was actually Rob Dyrdek’s “nemesis” while growing up in Dayton, Ohio. I miss my brother. I could say he was “gone too soon”, but ultimately God ordains all life and death. I miss you my brother. Wish we could have had one more chat about the 80’s. Miss you Jay.
God, I watched this my freshman year in 1990 when I first started skating. I was in Eureka Ca and this movie BLEW MY MIND. I would end up starting a skate company at 34 years old and the first two guys on my team were Frankie Hill and Eric Ricks. Blue Dragon Enterprises only lasted about a year, but to have my childhood heroes on my team was a dream come true.
I lived in Arcata around the time tony hawk built that sick park in utweaka I mean eureka. That park was one of the best parks I've ever skated I miss it. I also miss being down h street into Arcata town square dodging college kids on bikes lol
This movie has a special place in my heart. I moved to Oregon in 88' when I was 11. I was so homesick for SoCal. This movie gave me a slice of home back. Skate or Die!
Hell yeah. The 1st step to finding new meaning is realizing that all meaning has been stolen from us. Recreate the counterculture that has been turned into "conformity is cool."
Man the 80s was the best time to be a kid. The when the world was fun, we had all the shows n cartoons n movies n iconic figures . You could really enjoy just being a kid n didn't have to worry about bs
Watched this in the cinema when I was about 9 with my older cousin. They had some special deal where you got extra goodies (including a Karate Kid headband) if you brought a skateboard with you. Such good memories!
I always loved this movie growing up. It brings back such great memories watching this because I’m from Orange County, CA where this was filmed. It’s like looking at a time capsule of 1980s Southern California. I really miss those days.
Haha. I used to live in the City of Orange. My older brother is dating a Vietnamese girl. I have been skating on an electric board designed in Huntington beach (kyng board 29inch). I rode a mountain bike 45 mph down Cannon St. I didn't realize how much this movie influenced me.
This movie always got my brother and me stoked to skate in the middle of the night when it came on HBO. We would watch it and then sneak out and go skate the New Streets. That what we called the concrete streets of the new neighborhood that was being built right down the street from our little ghetto house. So much fun!
@David Mander Yeah I have gone back to buying DVD's that streaming don't have. Some movies they will never stream that doesn't fit their new narratives. "Born in East LA" is a prime example. Another one is "Pump Up The Volume" .
@@real100talk5 any big seller movie or even a cult classic will never be on Netflix or any free streaming,ever! Justbuy them and own them physically forever. I’ve owned pump up the volume on dvd since like forever.
These little back in the day movies are always my personal favorites to watch over again and again because it's awesome nostalgia therapy for my mind. Any nostalgia fan friends agree??.. let's see'm! ✌️
Movie Fact. Although the movie shows Tony hawk driving the Truck, he was in fact one of the skaters seen skating down the hill, since they didn't have enough Skater extras. He was also injured during the scene when he wrecked.
I'm 42 years old, watched this movie religiously as a kid and I'm just now learning from a RUclips comment that Tony Hawk was in it, what am I doing with my life? 😐
No way dude, the eighties were gritty and grainy and tough. It's like listening to an old record, it's the character that helps improve it, and only the years can do it.
This is my favorite movie. Its exactly how I feel about life. You would do anything for people you care about. And want justice when no one else sees it.
@Kane Kochera I should have been more specific with the time stamp but wanted to include the entire segment. It's when he says "it's ridiculous to think there will be anything here in 30 years".
I desperately wanted to see this movie as a teenager living in Belgium but it wasn’t in cinema’s here nor available on video. So here we are, 35 years later, and my desire finally manifests. 🥳 Still skating at 49, a bit slower though, like everything else I do. 😁 Thanks for sharing! 🖖🏻✨
@@cordelianoelle3644 Hi Yes actually i''ve seen three that i know of and one is Australian. They weren't bad and kind of average. But then there was Gleaming the cube.Unfortunately i cant remember the names of the other movies i watched.
I was about 9 when my mother got this movie from an American friend in Brazil because she knew I loved skateboarding. This movie was sooo bad azz back in the day. Kids and teachers talked about it in my school
OMG I'm so old. I remember when this came out 33 years ago o.O This time period was the height of western culture. 10 years prior and 10 years after, the golden age.
It took a ton of courage for Brian to give himself a complete makeover like that, we all know just how powerful and overwhelming the pressure from our peers can be, especially in high school.
I think Brian was trying to prove to Tina that he wasn't all about skateboarding. He was willing to change, but couldn't fully change, as the skateboard still played a dominant role in his life.
@@toadsonytwoThe Wizard is a CLASSIC!! I remember all the hype for *_Super Mario Bros 3_* when the movie came out. It was nuts. We talked about it in school for weeks.
I was in tears when I came across this film by chance. The song at the beginning caught me off guard. I saw this film every day for weeks in 1993 when I was 13. It was like an addiction. I was a passionate skater myself 😂 The film was really everything to me at that time. It was the most beautiful, carefree and hottest time of my life. I miss it painfully. This film just brings everything back up and it feels like there are only 2 weeks between 1993 and now 😢 Slater the perfect skater ❤
I begged my parents to go see this when I was 9 years old and seeing him go under that truck on the highway was mind blowing lol …..This has definitely become a classic !
I was at Disneyland today and decided to take a break for a couple of hours from the park. I randomly thought about Gleaming The Cube and decided to watch this when I got back to the hotel. Pretty cool to see how the area again back in 1989 compared to how it looks now!
Me too! This film was introduced by my aunt and I wanted to skate so bad. I learned it loved it. Board broke in the 90's by a cousin of mine over some anger management due something I cannot remember and I resumed skating again and never stopped again several years later. This movie still rocks and I miss 1988/1989 times. Being so young does make you feel alive and live forever when you see stuff like this. Skateboarding is to live for and it was a thing to do and freedom to express your connection with your life and that board. Nobody could take away the melody you feel when you ride on the surface.
Few more big names in there then I ever realized, Stacy Peralta (wasn't in the movie but was involved in the production) Mike valley, and I think Andy Nguyen was a skater too, pretty sure I seen that name in at least one of the Tony hawk games.
Been looking for this on stream or dvd for a few years now. It's up there with my 80s favorites Rad Racing, Breakfast club, Lost Boys... Thanks for posting this!
Got to give luv to the 80s kids! I had a vision board and airwalks after this movie. So awesome! Times are just too weird now. Last of the real generations.
Culture stagnated in the early 2000s..the 90s were the last of the generations that had its own culture. Thankfully I snuck in as a 80s/90s kid so I got to experience it before whatever happened that paused culture.
@jbellflower83 it was the internet. Then it got even worse with social media and smart phones. Its not natural to think socially that way. It took kids individuality away. It's why music suffered- movies became all remakes. Etc. I'm also an 80s kid.
the look in Tony's eye in the chicken scene... straight up fearless and whole buncha IDGAFF.... that wasn't acting for him, just another day at the office. Fast forward just a decade later and boom, first 900 ever landed. Dude was beyond destined for greatness.
Classic it brings back so many memories as a kids growing up I was the only black kid skate boarding with my friends and Erie..PA 30 years ago 👌 best days ever !!! Bro
Erie Pennsylvania that's got that big ass park it's like you can never stop driving in it That must be fun skating over there with the park on the lake did the beach there have the sand flies that bite? you
Awesome good movie like this movie saw it on cable and vhs long time ago 80s was great back in the day they dot make moves like this an more classic classic 😉👌👌👌
I adore this movie with my entire soul. It's THE REASON I'm learning to skate. I was * beyond* livid when they took it off prime. THANK YOU. YOU ARE A BLESSING.
This used to come on either HBO or USA when I was a kid, made me want a skateboard, after gettin one I fell and had to get a total of 36 stitches. Thanx Christian Slater lol
Wish I could go back in time. Miss the 90s. I know this was 1989 but close enough. Before cell phones. I'm stuck in the wrong time right now. Everyone tells me I need to let the past go, but it's hard. This movie is the shit. Brian's hair should have its own autograph.. When you're 37 and still wanna be Brian. Lol.
Damn i agree so much. This era was awesome. Hes haircut is fire 🔥 And the Musik, the clothes, the girls , the Cars..... everything. Today all bullshit. Not my time. I give the Rest of my living years for a live back in this time from 80 to 2000.
83 baby and I agree. Something has been lost in the last 20 years. We were the last to have real culture in our childhood. I feel terrible for kids today who don't know what they missed.
My husband was looking for this movie everywhere! And I said “let’s check RUclips” and BAM 💥 our friend here made it available for free!!!! Thank you 🙏🏼
Grew up in California during the 80s. I remember going down to Bolsa for some Pho with my buds. Good times. It’s sad that I can never go back, even if I go back.
I was just 13 .... and I always wanted to watch this movie . I saw the kid but never discovered his Name . He was Christian Slater of Broken Arrow , though.
I was 10 when this came out...😂😂😂 and no lie everyone of my close friends and myself all had skateboards the next weekend after seeing this movie....😂😂 80's were mad fun as a kid!!!!
YOURE TURNING 43 THIS YEAR?!
Hahaha me too, then I watched Rad and then started in the bmx haha. Would watch both religiously
And I bet not a single one of you has avenged your Asian foster brothers death, smh posers
I was 9 when this came out, and I have to agree.. I also had a skateboard by the next weekend. 😂,I loved growing up in the 80's

favorite movie of all time! christian slater AND skateboarding? my two favorite things 💗
I watched this movie over 100 times when I was a kid. I still say lines from this movie 30 years later.
Tony hawk driving a Pizza Hut truck with an army of skaters in tow playing chicken with the bad guy. Fucking epic!
One of my fav scenes!
that scene seriously used to pump me up as a young skater!
Movie Fact. Although the movie shows Tony hawk driving the Truck, he was in fact one of the skaters seen skating down the hill, since they didn't have enough Skater extras. He was also injured during the scene when he wrecked.
Did you notice he didn’t land the kick flip at the beginning of the movie before they boarded the plane. 😂
I'm 42 years old, watched this movie religiously as a kid and I'm just now learning from a RUclips comment that Tony Hawk was in it, what am I doing with my life? 😐
I used to love watching this over some beers after a good skate
This was one of my favorite movies when I was a teenager
Gleaming The Cube could really use a 4k UHD release, but I'd settle for a new scan on blu-ray. Here's hoping...
At this point I’d even take a dvd lol
True Romance is getting one now, so I definitely second this!
Vinegar Syndrome should seriously consider doing a 4K remaster of this. They did an excellent job with Rad.
No way dude, the eighties were gritty and grainy and tough.
It's like listening to an old record, it's the character that helps improve it, and only the years can do it.
This has been an extremely vague memory for 20 years until I just googled “skateboarders Asian brother dies” and finally found it.

Awesome good movie like this movie saw it on cable and vhs long time ago 80s was great back in the day they dot make moves like this an more classic classic 😉👌👌👌
I adore this movie with my entire soul. It's THE REASON I'm learning to skate. I was * beyond* livid when they took it off prime. THANK YOU. YOU ARE A BLESSING.
It's back on Prime. I just downloaded it the other day.
@@smoothpants BLESSING TY FOR TELLING ME
Somehow... I just knew this movie was in youtube. Christian slater was my idol when I was 10 😂
This used to come on either HBO or USA when I was a kid, made me want a skateboard, after gettin one I fell and had to get a total of 36 stitches. Thanx Christian Slater lol
My Boss assigned this movie to me as homework :D I love this
You guys hiring?
Went down the 80s rabbit hole so cool 😎!!’

The music was really good for this movie.
Wish I could go back in time. Miss the 90s. I know this was 1989 but close enough. Before cell phones. I'm stuck in the wrong time right now. Everyone tells me I need to let the past go, but it's hard. This movie is the shit. Brian's hair should have its own autograph.. When you're 37 and still wanna be Brian. Lol.
Same here 37 almost 38
Damn i agree so much. This era was awesome. Hes haircut is fire 🔥
And the Musik, the clothes, the girls , the Cars..... everything.
Today all bullshit.
Not my time.
I give the Rest of my living years for a live back in this time from 80 to 2000.
83 baby and I agree. Something has been lost in the last 20 years. We were the last to have real culture in our childhood. I feel terrible for kids today who don't know what they missed.
My husband was looking for this movie everywhere! And I said “let’s check RUclips” and BAM 💥 our friend here made it available for free!!!! Thank you 🙏🏼
Thanks for this. I still have my Tony Hawk deck with the same Variflex trucks that I rode in the 80’s. Still ride it today with my kids.
Your welcome thanks for watching
Grew up in California during the 80s. I remember going down to Bolsa for some Pho with my buds. Good times. It’s sad that I can never go back, even if I go back.
Am born in 95 but this I 1 of the best movies i have seen it is in my top 10 + I don't even board just to amazing
This was one of those films when you saw it on tv you just had to watch.
I just told my 12 year old son about this movie. Thank you for this. We will be watching this movie very soon
I was just 13 .... and I always wanted to watch this movie . I saw the kid but never discovered his Name .
He was Christian Slater of Broken Arrow , though.
