Don't forget to look at the crow. Most of them are cardboard cut outs, some don't even have real heads, I think I saw a coat hanger for a head at one point. BRING ON THE B

I just want to mention that Quinn was played by Claudia Christian (Susan Ivanova from "Babylon 5") before several other people beat me to it.

Anyway, Arena is a very good b-movie for winter sundays afternoon.

Arena was one of the last things that Empire pictures made and was planned as one of their bigger budgeted (well for Empire anyway) projects. It sat on the shelf forever after Empire folded. Who can ever forget the card board cutouts that made up the audience in several scenes, or the visible wire that lifts up the hero at the end as he is lifted by Horn? It's too bad that they didn't have a bigger budget to realize their ideas. Arena may not be the greatest, but it is entertaining all said.

When I was in 10th grade I absolutely loved this movie.  Looking back on it I realize what a geek I was, but I still love this movie.

I went to high school (Mendocino) with the lead actor, Paul Satterfield. He's pretty damn obscure, although he does star in a sequence from Creepshow 2 ('the raft')...

I'd like to point out the huge misconception that is painted around the character in this movie, Horn.  First of all, Horn is made out to be some disgusting monster, while many of the characters in this movie are monsters and many are just as disgusting if not more so.  In the movie, Horn was beaten at a disadvantage and most unfairly and deserves much more credit than he receives.  I hope I've caused you to take a second look at this movie.

Weezil is played by that everyman of totally masked sci-fi, Armin Shimerman (aka DS9's Quark), and Rogor is another common face, particularly in Star Trek - Marc Alaimo, who played Gul'Dukat on Deep Space Nine.  

This movie tries hard and for the most part works, considering what must have been a tiny budget. It had a strong cast and rather good creature effects, considering. One of my favorite B-movies.

Not only did Claudia Christian play in the movie, but the whole plot (down to vagrants living in unused sections of a space station) is reminiscent of the Babylon 5 episode TKO...did Paul DiTillio have a hand in this one as well, or did someone pay the $5.00 for the rights?

He uses the same spin/elbow strike four times in the clip posted.

Need one say more.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
