Unknown 80's movie

Post by guynietoren »

Looking for the title of an 80's movie that starred a kid, possibly named Max. He invented a piston mechanism for his bike that enabled it to jump over cars and what not without a ramp.

As far as the rest of the plot I remember some business signing a deal with him making him money but turning out bad somehow.

There was also a scene somewhere where the kid somehow magnetized a basketball to help him out in PE class. Then the teacher found out when his whistle stuck to the ball.

I'm wanting to try to buy a copy for nostalgia's sake but have no idea what the name of the movie was.

It's not "the dirt bike kid" but was made somewhere in 80's like that one.

I figured it out finally.
Realized the kid from the movie played as Chunk in Goonies and did a filmography on that actor. So the movie is called Ask Max. Thread's over..

Although.... He does look a bit Keenish..

Lol yeah I guess. Wrong colors and has goggles. Also is overweight for keen.

On the similarities side, he's a boy genius, but is 12 and not 8 years old.

Hey I added 13, 1 and 300 on my calculator. Is that a keen reference? Perhaps the calculator is referring to keen.

It's things like this that make me frown when I'm at the forum.
