Manuel "Smoke" Galloway (Laurence Fishburne) is the leader of the Black Knights, an underground motorcycle club. Smoke, like most of his fellow Knights, is a successful white collar worker who can afford fancy leathers and top quality bikes, and Smoke has earned a reputation as the "King of Cali," willing take on anyone in a drag race, legal or no. Kid (Derek Luke) is a gifted young rider whose father was once Smoke's mechanic; when Kid's dad died after an accident, Kid set out to become the best biker he could be to carry on his father's name and reputation. Smoke, however, has no room in the Black Knights for Kid, and so he and several fellow outcast riders start their own club, the Biker Boyz, and challenge Smoke to prove once and for all who is the fastest rider on the scene. Biker Boyz also features appearances from Orlando Jones, Lisa Bonet, Djimon Hounsou, Larenz Tate, and Kid Rock. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Guy flicks can be just as galling as the chick variety.
-
David Hunter, Hollywood Reporter
Not without moments of excitement, romance and rubber-burning redemption.
-
Nat Johnson, Village Voice
When the filmmakers aren't busy accommodating cameo models and comedians, they seem to be dozing off at the handlebars.
-
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Biker Boyz is just a silly film.
-
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
The training-wheels version of The Fast And The Furious.
