- Quotes
Gary Lee: [opening narration, which also turns out to be a PATTON-esque Rollerboy-recruiting commercial] Before many of you were born, our parents caused the Great Crash. They were consumed with greed. They ignored repeated warnings, and borrowed more money than they could ever repay. They lost our farms, lost our factories, lost our homes. Alien races foreclosed on our nation while we... We were locked in homeless camps. Now America belongs to the enemy. Forget your parents. They didn't care about us. We are the New Generation, and we are the Remedy. You need a new family, a family that cares. The Rollerboys care. Join with us. Let us be your Strength. Let us be your Warriors. Help the White Army win back our homeland. The Day of the Rope is coming.

I saw this movie on You Tube a few months ago, and don't remember too much about it. Corey Haim's drug troubles were starting to get bad at this juncture. His status of a teen hunk was still there, but it was diminishing. Corey Haim is a very talented actor, and it's a shame that he had to succumb to drug use, and pressures of Hollywood. This was a ballsy project for him to take on. It's set in a post-apocalyptic future, and it's quite a grim experience in all honesty. Haim had yet to really sink his teeth into dark material as of yet, and Haim pulls it off very well. He reportedly did all of his own blading stunts, and I was quite impressed with it. Haim has to deal with a below average script, which kinda negates his excellent performance a little bit, but Haim was terrific in a part that was potentially miscasting for him. Patricia Arquette doesn't have a whole lot to do, nor was she as famous as she is now. This movie is interesting, and never boring, but the script lets people down. I wish they had done more, but it's worth a look for Corey's performance
5.2/10
