I own Prayer for the Roller Boys.  It's an okay movie with a number of quirky characters to make it interesting.  My personal favourite is the body builder inside the self contained drug lab, giving extra to the kids because 'they're so cute' and providing dialogue for the dead mouse as he drops it, trap and all into the acid....

An old post but has an interesting idea.

To be honest, I had never considered the concept while watching McT's revamp of Rollerball and i've watched it twice. All in All the film falls flat on it's face. So if his general idea was to create a parody of todays MTV approach to almost everything hollywood touches. He must have gotten caught up in it all. I will also say, I really wanted to like this film.

As it stands, I'm a big fan of Jewison version. I thought there might be room for improvement or at the very least a flushing out of some of the lesser ideas considered in the original. These ideas could have been added to make maybe a crossbread between said material and all the reality tv shows that made themselves popular in and around the time of this films release. Unfortunentely the film bogs down never to regain the initial interest it had me with, with them recruiting people from extreme sports. it was a decent enough idea but failed to good anywhere from there.

I liked this although the main reason for this is not being familiar with the original.

The only redeeming thing in the R rated director's cut of the Rollerball remake was Rebecca Romijn's topless scene. Other than that, it's completely worthless and not even tolerable in a so-bad-it's-good kind of way.

At least I can google that if I really need to see it.

The Rollerball remake is on my top 10 worst movies made list.

I think I'd rather watch ROLLER BOOGIE with Linda Blair.
I remember seeing that, and Rollerball must be quite bad.

I'd rather watch XANADU.

Quite, Quite, Quite bad then? Buggedout

I never saw the movie but in my theater ushering days me and a couple others vandalized the standeeby giving Rebecca Romijn an eyepatch, Chris Klein a unibrow, and LL Cool J a goatee, and I'm sure there were some stitches drawn on them or something.  It stayed on display that way for a long while.

    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.
