The original Rollerball (to me anyway) is a movie that gets deeper every time I see it.
It was made when I was 10, so my first viewing of it was as a young teen - I absolutely hated all the parts in between the action scenes. At that age I would've told you that all the boring, talking parts ruined what otherwise would have been a cool movie.
The older I got, the more I picked up from all that "boring" stuff (everything that took place outside the arena) - which basically was the plot BEHIND the sci-fi action sports film.
As a dystopian future sci-fi, it's actually very prophetic as we have moved much closer to Corptocracies running the world - the only real difference is governments still where the masks of political regimes as a façade to hide the fact that corporations, tech companies and money control their puppet politicians.
The Rollerball remake was utter trash that apparently did not understand the movie it was based on.
