Trivia
Many of the extras in the film received an additional wage in order to cut their fashionably long hair so the look of the film would not be tied to the era in which it was made.

Errores
At the beginning of the New York game, after many moments in the film where different characters have repeated that there would have been "no time limit", the scoreboard shows the countdown (starting from 20.00).

This is not actually a goof, as the game was still going to have 20-minute periods, but there was going to be no limit to the number of periods, hence "no time limit".

Citas
Bartholomew: Sweet dreams, Moonpie. That's a bad habit you've got there. You know what that habit will make you dream, Moonpie? You'll dream you're an executive. You'll have your hands on all the controls, and you will wear a gray suit, and you will make decisions. But you know what, Moonpie? You know what those executives dream about out there behind their desks? They dream they're great Rollerballers. They dream they're Jonathan; they have muscles, they bash in faces.

Underrated 70's film

This movie presents a dark, disturbing look at a possible future. The movie portrays a cold, sterile society where humanity is generally absent. Corporations run the world and the global pasttime is a violent sport reminisent of the Roman Coliseum. The rollerball scenes, which get more and more violent as the film progresses, are disturbing enough. Equally disturbing is a scene where a group of drunk partygoers blow up trees with some sort of gun. The citizens of this future society are really lacking feeling and humanity. Despite the film's dated look, it's still a future that seems quite possible.
