I read the review for "Rollerball" and all the other deathsport movies.  "Gladiators" was a new one for me, all the others I have seen.  If you want to see the ULTIMATE DEATHSPORT MOVIE, check out "The Blood Of Heroes" with Rutgar Huer and Joan Chen.  The game is a cross between rugby and basic oldschool [no guns] gang warfare.  The "ball" is a dog skull.  The timekeeper throws rocks against a metal sheet to keep time.  The teams consist of 5 players.  1 runs the dog skull to place it on a stake.  2, 3 and 4 block for the runner using poles with spikes and chains wrapped around them.  5 whips a flail made out connected chains to guard the stake [or goal].  Watch it once and you to will want to start a league in your own neighborhood.  After watching it with my friends, we all had serious considerations.

Hell yeah, I'm with you Joe.  I managed to snag a copy of Blood of Heroes on VHS for a couple of dollars a few weeks ago.  I was surprised to see a lot of good things being said about it over on IMDB.com, so I went ahead and grabbed it.  Great movie with good performances, especially by Rutger Hauer.  I figured it would be another take on the Road Warrior formula, but I was very pleasantly surprised.  Plus, the game itself was just a cool idea.  It was also funny seeing Private Pyle/Leonard from Full Metal Jacket (Vincent D'Onofrio) as one of Hauer's teammates.  He does a good job in the film as well, however.  

Would Ahnuld's the Running Man be considered to be a Deathsport movie?  I guess it's more of a death gameshow type of movie, although it's still great.

    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.
