	"Biker Boyz" - Salon
		There's some suggestion, no doubt encouraged by its producers, that "Biker Boyz" is a motorcycle version of "The Fast and the Furious." It's not.
		In "Biker Boyz" the stunts, not to mention the editing -- the only thing that's going to make a racing movie exciting to someone who can't tell a carburetor from a cam shaft -- just aren't that good.
		The subtext of "Biker Boyz" is that all these fast motorcycle riders are just the same as any other morally upright American citizen.

	OnWisconsin Live Movies: Biker Boyz
		But "Boyz" couldn't be more different from the 2001 hit "Fast." "Fast" put its emphasis on non-stop action, with the plot something of an afterthought; "Boyz" switches its gears back and forth between story and action.
		Shot and edited in typical rapid-fire MTV style, "Biker Boyz" is both arresting and dizzying to sit through.
		What sets "Boyz" apart from "The Fast and the Furious" is that the latter quietly broke new ground by featuring a multicultural cast and reinvigorated the action movie genre.

		Biker Boyz mines intelligence by recognizing the contradictions inherent in its milieu.
		Biker Boyz place the needs of the community at odds with one’s individual values and the needs of one’s desire to be civilized with the need to express more primal masculine impulses.
		Biker Boyz are aware that their behavior is somewhat unhealthy or dangerous, but at the same time recognize the purpose it serves.

	Biker Boyz (2003) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Nowadays color and plastic coat the fastest and most coveted motorcycles in the land, and `Biker Boyz' heralds the passing with unrestrained glee.
		Set among African-American biker clubs in Southern California, the film follows Kid (Derek Luke), a prodigious young motorcycle racer, in his quest for the title of `King of Cali,' currently held by Smoke (Lawrence Fishburne), leader of the Black Knights bike club.
		Or are you just blowin' smoke?' Kid begins his own club (the aptly named `Biker Boyz') and sets out for the crown of fastest biker.

	Biker Boyz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		A much more appropriate title for “Biker Boyz” would be “Losers,” because the film is about a group of people who waste their lives making bets with their friends on whether or not they can beat them in a motorcycle race.
		“Biker Boyz” represents one of the few times in movie history where less focus should be on the moral dilemmas of the characters.
		Maybe they were attracted to “Biker Boyz” because it focuses more on the characters than on the races (Kid Rock, however, probably signed on to the film because he thought it would be cool to ride a motorcycle).

	BIKER BOYZ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Loosely based on the true adventures of motorcycle gangs in Fresno, California, "Biker Boyz" at this point was a modestly awful depiction of machismo and burning rubber, sterling stuntwork dressing up a bare bones story about a young hotshot trying to take control of the massive gang scene.
		The rest of "Biker Boyz" is an incoherent mess, scenes of yelling and braggadocio bridged by stunt work and booming music.
		In the year 2003, "Biker Boyz" proves to be the first dumb as dogshit action escapade.

	Biker Boyz
		"Boyz" is, unfortunately, an unoriginal and derivative flick that starts out with some energy and imagination but soon becomes a clone of "The Fast and the Furious," but without any of that film's verve.
		A major problem with "Biker Boyz" is that its large, talented cast of actors is left, virtually, in the dust, like a bad drag racer.
		This aspect of this sub-culture is given short shrift in "Biker Boyz" with only Orlando Jones's character, Soul Train, shown to have a life other than that of a street racer.

	Biker Boyz - Movie Review
		And judging from all the ads for Biker Boyz, it seemed like the motorbike fans would get just what they wanted: a Fast and the Furious on two wheels—plenty of explosions, crashes, tits, and dumb as a rock dialogue.
		It’s worse; Biker Boyz chooses to go Singleton on us, delivering softball messages about respecting your woman and dads taking responsibility for their illegitimate kids intercut with footage of cool bike stunts.
		Biker Boyz is an unfortunate case of mistaken identity — or what some of us like to call Coyote Ugly syndrome.

		Biker Boyz features Derek Luke (Antwone Fisher) as Kid, a young wannabe biker who witnesses his mechanic dad's accidental death during a race.
		Biker Boyz even has a palpable camp value -- notice the ritualistic, in-synch bike dismounts performed by the Black Knights.
		Biker Boyz is no Citizen Kane, but thank goodness it's also no Gone In 60 Seconds.

		“Biker Boyz” is an ugly film to look at, all the more painful because this unpleasant visual standard set by Bythewood was meant to make the film stand out from the pack.
		Actors are all the chance “Biker Boyz” has for success, but the final product fails them as well.
		“Biker Boyz” might have had something to work with, had it decided to skip the bandwagon jumping, and try for something original and truly meaningful.

	Eye Weekly - Biker Boyz - 01.30.03 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		It’s hard to truly hate a movie that pluralizes its eponymous heroes with a “z,” and so Biker Boyz, which makes good on the promise of its title by giving us a whole bunch of boyz on bikes, is at very least a lovably boneheaded venture.
		The bikers and their codes are respected as larger-than-life figures, each faction has its own clearly defined colours and personality, and there are at least a few shots that adequately convey the sensation of hurtling across expanses of pavement at 100 miles an hour.
		Such are the sort of extraneous thoughts that occur while watching Biker Boyz, which isn’t really good enough to hold your attention but at least doesn’t abuse it too badly in the fleeting moments that it does.

		Trying to gain on the success of 'The Fast and the Furious', 'Biker Boyz' takes cars and replaces them with...
		And the young Derek Luke, receiving tremendous praise Stateside for his role in 'Antwone Fisher', is one to watch.
		The most remarkable thing that 'Biker Boyz' accomplishes is to take the template from 'The Fast and The Furious' and try and make it more two-dimensional.

	Biker Boyz \| ajc.com
		"Biker Boyz" looks like "The Fast and the Furious" on two wheels instead of four, with its growling engines, Cuisinart-style editing and bootylicious women in skintight clothes.
		Between training for the showdown and forming his own gang, the Biker Boyz — a multicultural crew consisting of Stuntman (Brendan Fehr) and Primo (Rick Gonzalez) — Kid finds time to woo the tantalizing tattoo artist Tina (Meagan Good), who's lovely, but with whom he has all the sparks of an engine backfiring.
		But "Biker Boyz" is more about stunt riding than stunt casting, and the tricks get repetitive — you see one wheelie, you've seen them all.

		At first glance, Biker Boyz appears to be a flagrant rip-off of all three, and to some extent, such suspicions turn out to be true.
		The one-on-one contests go from involving two meaningless bikers on a straight road to a heated battle between important characters with curves and obstacles.
		Biker Boyz marks his first major role after the huge success of The Matrix in 1999, and his performance here can be compared to his supporting turn in Boyz N the Hood.

	'Biker Boyz' revs up the machismo (via CobWeb/3.1 planet03.csc.ncsu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Smoke (Laurence Fishburne) is the reigning "King of Cali" as the leader of a prime-time biker gang, the Black Knights.
		"Biker Boyz" belongs to young upstart Kid (Derek Luke from "Antwone Fisher"), the angry, ambitious son left fatherless in a freak club fatality.
		Yet for all the testosterone-driven soap opera, this entertainingly confused coming-of-age story is a seductive fantasy, a rare portrait of urban underworld machismo without the violence and the viciousness.

	TheMovieBoy Review: Biker Boyz (2003)
		As with 2001's "The Fast and the Furious" and 2002's "Blue Crush," "Biker Boyz" is a sports drama based on a real-life newspaper article (this one written by Michael Gougis).
		Directed by the curiously-named Reggie Rock Bythewood, "Biker Boyz" aims to be a floor-rattling piece of pulp excitement while delivering an ensemble of unconventionally real characters in a serious plotline--and fails at all of the above.
		From the look of the trailers and television ads for "Biker Boyz," one would expect it to be nothing more than a down-and-dirty B-movie with motorcycle stunts and fast-paced action galore.

	The Popkorn Junkie :: Biker Boyz
		This is when "Biker Boyz" loses what little edge it had in the first place and becomes too emotional and too sappy for a film that is suppose to look so hardcore in the trailers.
		He is more talented as a screenwriter than a director, I must say, because someone like John Singleton or The Hughes Brothers could have probably turned "Biker Boyz" into a more successful picture.
		"Biker Boyz" is one of those films that will probably barely meet budget at the box office and then slip into a video shelf life for a long time.

	Biker Boyz (2003): Reviews
		For all the testosterone-driven soap opera, this entertainingly confused coming-of-age story is a seductive fantasy, a rare portrait of urban underworld machismo without the violence and the viciousness.
		The fun of Biker Boyz should be in the racing, and though director Reggie Rock Bythewood throws around a lot of techniques, nothing really ignites.
		Neither the riveting boy band documentary nor the riveted gay porn its title seems to suggest, Biker Boyz is instead a late-model knockoff of 2001’s outlaw auto racing epic The Fast and the Furious, reconfigured with a predominantly fl cast and a whole lotta two-wheeled saké.

		But Biker Boyz bogs itself down in the convoluted conventions of a pseudo-slick, frenetic fable.
		Quite frankly, if Biker Boyz stayed focused on the sole aspect of racing and road rage, then this movie could have at least enjoyed the sensation of being a one-note guilty pleasure much like its aforementioned driven counterpart The Fast and the Furious.
		In essence, Biker Boyz had the gumption to parlay its free-wheeling universe of chaos cartwheels into an unconventional piece of meaningful spry escapist entertainment.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Biker Boyz" review (2003) Reggie Rock Bythewood, Laurence Fishburne, Derek Luke
		In one scene two bikers speed down the freeway, dismounted to one side of their muscle-cycles with both feet in metal-soled boots, making contact with the road and sending out 20-foot sparks.
		Inspired by an article about underground African-American motorcycle clubs in the Los Angeles area, "Biker Boyz" is largely devoted to flash over substance -- and a lot of that flash is downright silly, like the special-effects tunnel-vision shots employed to show how much Smoke is focused on the finish line when he's racing.
		Orlando Jones ("Drumline," "The Time Machine") is entertaining as a barker for the bikers by night and an attorney who bails them out after "sideshow" busts by day.

		Apparently the bikers' dual identities as weekday professionals and weekend outlaws were of central importance in Gougis' article.

		It could be the main plot (two bikers going head to head), it could be it’s execution (Rebel without a Case anyone?) or could it be the whole “Fast and the Furious” stench that it’s so distinctly stinks of.
		Director Reggie Rock Bythewood’s “Biker Boyz” centers on an aspiring young biker named Kid (Derek Luke) who decides to not only form his own gang, but also challenge the best of the best to some precarious street races.
		We’re supposed to believe our sun-coloured “Biker Boyz” gang is the newest, baddest, most imposing new pedal power pack on the block, but wearing the lifejacket like attire they do, ain’t nobody going to be getting out of the way of their tracks.
