Look at that Camera Array. It’s everywhere.
Getting a Hockey/Football/Baseball/Roller Derby feel.

- Check out my moustache and flyback hair.
- Organ music is the future.
- Controller test his computerized equipment.
- All sports of the future are played on roller skates.
- If you need a cannon to launch your game ball….well…maybe you need to rethink your sport.
- He must hold the ball out in plain view at all times…well that is just bull frap.
- Motocycles and big silver balls.
It’s good to see the ref is still blind in rollerball
- Punch people in the face. Fishhooking. Crotch kicking sure. But if you punch a rider on a bike. That gets you the boos.
He shoots he scores! (go high on the end part.)
- Nothing better than a shirtless rubdown while talking to the rich old whiteman owner.
“I feel mean”
- Corporate wars. Now that is something I would watch!
- the corporate wars….”they were nasty!”

Woo…Woo…Swoop…Woo

- This movie is about rules. But there are no rules.

Let’s see that hit of the week again! Clothes line…Clothes line. What is the future equivalent of clothesline. Washing Machine!! Bam! Washing Machine.
This movie is more about the human experience than about a crazy sport of the future.

“Help!! My asian masseuse fell on me!! Get it off…Get it off.”

Hey John-na-thon…Don’t stand so close to number 9. It looks silly on TV. “69”
- Pretty sure it is not a good idea to wear those big ole prescription glasses while playing a contact sport such as RollerBalls
- Pretty sure you killed that dude you kicked off the motobike
- How did your buddy die? Punch to the back of the head.
- Alright…when you go down with your eyes open…does that mean you are dead…or just incapacitated?
- A game with so much down time you can literally hangout in a corner with some buddies and form a gang to go attack a stray teammember on the other team.
- Blooood…we want bloood.
Oh no…this turned into soccer. AKA Football for the rest of the world.
Fan in the rink!!
Hey ref….or ball shooter guy. How about stopping the game after you pepsi’s that one dude…you remember…like michael jackson in that pepsi commercial?
“Your teammate is brain dead. But we were unsure if that was how he was when he came in…or if this is a recent injury?”
Holy Crap. They knocked the brain waves out of moonpie
