This week’s retro trailer is for the 1986 skateboarding movie Thrashin’, which was directed by David Winters and stars Josh Brolin. The movie epitomizes the skateboarding culture of the 1980s and the film follows Corey Webster, a young skateboarder played by Brolin, who travels from the Midwest to Los Angeles to compete in a major skateboarding competition. Along the way, Corey becomes entangled in a rivalry with a local skateboard gang led by Tommy Hook, portrayed by Robert Rusler. As Corey navigates the vibrant and rebellious skateboarding scene of Venice Beach, he falls in love with a girl named Chrissy, played by Pamela Gidley, who is Tommy’s younger sister. The film captures the spirit of the skateboarding craze of the 1980s, featuring rad skateboarding sequences and a soundtrack filled with punk and rock music that defined the era. I loved this movie as a kid! Enjoy the trailer!
