Yep, many famous actors have done a lot of embarrassing stuff before getting their big break.

But, my god! The hair! That huge...horrible...HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.....and her eyes! Nicole's eyes were lime-green in this movie, not the deep blue you see in her eyes today, but lime-green. Nicole Kidman had some of the most stunning lime-green eyes of any young lady during the 80's.

She was great, even in this movie! I loved it!

First flick I ever saw her in when I was a kid. Didn't see her again until years later and I was like "That's the chick from BMX Bandits, man she's all grown up", lol...

I don’t really remember this movie; it has been almost 30 years. I do remember the movie Rad, and briefly being interested in the BMX scene. It was good to see Nicole Kidman in one of her very first movie roles. Even at that young age early in her career she was a great actress. And she was devilishly cute with a nice rear end also. Good fun movie.

Same here. To me this is the real 'Nicole Kidman'. All the new movies are rubbish.

Also if you ever pay close attention, Nicole Kidman is a terrible actor anyway

Embarrassing? She was quite good in this movie, which was her first movie role. Please tell me what was "embarrassing" about her acting in the film. I can't wait to hear your response.

And to some of the others here - commenting on her hair is the dumbest thing I ever heard. Of course she wore it that way - that was the style of the day. Only an idiot would criticize that aspect of her look in the film.

Indeed it was. Gotta love that gloriously ghastly huge, poofy, and overpermed 80's hairdo Nicole sported in this film.

Long may it wave. It was great to see Nicole in an early role. She looked totally natural despite the perm, and she looked like she was having fun.
