"I was surprised by the depth of this movie. On the surface, it seems simple, but it is obviously about the difference between sport and brutality. Are we spectators or voyeurs? What happens when a corporation dictates the lives and thoughts of everything surrounding the player?"

"Get your corporate sponsorships, politricks, and blackmail out my face. I just want to rollerball. "

"If you can't see the parallels to our current society, you need to pay more attention. "

"‘Alita: Battle Angel’ borrowed the idea for Motorball from this film."
Scott Stevens
"Saw this when I was a kid in the theater. All we wanted to do that summer was make our own Rollerball track. An equal to Logan's Run, Soylent Green, and The Omega Man. A must see 70s sci-fi classic. "
Paul Giampetroni
"The film is not about the game Rollerball but the society that produced it. The world in Rollerball is that of public private partnerships or neo-Fascism."
