A good entertayning movie,for a B-Picture Astounding Good Make Up & Visional Effects.But the Best of all two old STAR TREK-DEEP SPACE NINE Heroes in their first SI FI Role.Armin Shimmerman (Quark)and Marc Alaimo (Gul Dukkat).By the way this movie and ROBOTJOX was so expensiv that it Ruins the BAND Movie Factory (EMPIRE PICTURES)a real missing for every B-Movie FAN.That what came after this wasnt so Good.

I passed on picking this up on VHS about 3-4 years back and I'm kicking myself now as I can't find a copy anywhere.
Does anyone know if there are plans to release Arena on DVD?

man i loved this movie when i saw it years ago I used to have ex rental vhs copies of this and robot jox but both were lost in a house move now finding this movie on DVD is a nightmare (someone on amazon is charging $100 for a Laserdisc copy!) anyone have any ideas where it can be found or whether it has even had a DVD release?

It's not on DVD yet I'm afraid.

I just watched this movie about an hour ago.  It was a little hoke, but I liked it.  I remember seeing it a long time ago.  It has not gotten worse nor better.  Just a movie that you sit down to watch when there is nothing else to do.  I was hoping for a cage match between Quinn and Jade. I would pay to see that.  The grasshopper opponent that Armstrong fault resembled one of the creatures from the Guyver.  I was waiting for the Guyver to jump into the ring.     Good review Andrew.

"Being head-butted by someone who is part bull sucks." - LOL  Too funny.

I was racking my brain for the name of this movie so I could perhaps rent it from Netflix but couldn't think of it.  I browsed through every single Netflix offering under the Sci-Fi genre but didn't see anything that rang a bell.  I then typed in some key words into Google like "movie where fighters in space have handicaps" and the first search return was a Yahoo! Question & Answer thing (you know what I'm talking about) and the "asker" described the movie and someone else nailed it right on the head.  As soon as I read the title Arena, I knew it was right.

This movie worked somehow and I remember seeing it on HBO or something way back when.  I think its ripe for a remake.  What do you think?

This is streaming on demand at Netflix. Don't know if they have it on disc.

I don't believe it's out on DVD.

It had been a while since I saw this B-movie gem but I watched it yesterday on Netflix. For a B-movie it isn't too bad. I thought it was entertaining and not in the same way I find "Space Mutiny" entertaining.

[Psycho Circus]

I think its ripe for a remake.  What do you think?   

Ugh, I certainly hope not. Leave it alone, it's fine. Still waiting for that damn DVD though.

I started watching this on netflix the other day. It was a lot more fun than I expected, but I still dozed off halfway through.

I liked this - the scene I liked the most was the first battle where the monster shakes his head to get rid of the dizziness.
