MTB's in movies? (Bike scenes)

[bbspecial]

hey guys i was thinking about movies that have really good MTB scenes in them. i remember in the movie "taxi" there was a really good street bit in it right at the beginning. and in one of Jamiroquai's video clips there was some bmx stunts in it.

so what are some other really good bike scenes as they are usually very rare. it can be a movie, tv or video clip.

Stormbreaker has a cool bit with a kid riding a Haro Xeon...or a Specialized Enduro, doging in and out of trafic

I can't seem to find a video link...

Not quite MTB, but Nicole Kidmans pinnacle of acting is surely BMX bandits. The kid jumps a truck!

I remember seeing a movie ages back about some kid riding a kona and doing extreme jumps to impress some chick eating an icecream. I think...

Transformers, don't think he does any stunts on it but he's riding a half decent mountain bike around in one of the scenes.

Just noticed that in the My Sims TV ad for Nintendo Wii, the kid is riding a half decent dirt jumper...
Also in "Clockstoppers" the main character rides street, and it helps him get out of some trouble in a car chase...
Alex Rider by Anthony Horowitz rides a pimped bike with unpoppable tyres in Skeleton Key, but thats a book...may be a movie one day though!!

Actually champ, it was a Kuwahara. I remember seeing them in my LBS at the time and bugging my dad to buy me one.

On a side note, one of the riders in the final BMX chase scene in E.T. was none other than Bob Haro.
