Ep.125 Rollerball (1975 Vs. 2002)

Rollerball (1975) is a deadly sport on rollerskates. Competitors take to the track trying to score, spilling blood to entertain the masses. But one player Jonathan E. rises above the rest as the sport's most popular player. A conspiracy begins to take Jonathan off the track one way, or another. Norman Jewison brings the William Harrison story to the big screen starring James Caan, John Houseman, and Maud Adams. This sci-fi bloodsport has become a cult hit spawning a disastrous 2002 remake by Die Hard director John McTiernan starring Chris Klein, Jean Reno, LL Cool J, and Rebecca Romijn. Could this be one of the worst remakes ever? Join Invasion of the Remake as we explore the dark world of Rollerball!
