      @@Ronno4691 The remake is terrible...The only good thing is the casting of Jean Reno and the beautiful Rebecca Romijn. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a rating of 3 percent and Rebecca Romijn was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award as Worst Supporting Actress...but I loved her, and had a crush on that incredible sultry eye candy, so that was the only good thing to look at in that monstrous remake.

    I absolutely love this film, the actual plot is really subtle and the game itself is filmed really well! James Caan is great in this! One of those rare movies that you wish was either longer or had an Epilogue,
    To tie up the ending like they did with the original Death Race 2000.

      These are essentially gladiators, so the movie is not really ahead of its time. The game of Rollerball exists to distract the masses from more urgent issues, which is the same reason the gladiatorial games existed.

      @@davestar4718 Sorry to disappoint you, but I still think it’s cool that this arena after 51 years still exists. They even had plans to demolish it couple of years ago but the City Administration and FC Bayern payed a lot of money for the renovation. And like I said, not everything was renovated. The ceiling lining is still the same and some of the original seats are still built in. Even the small „monitor/surveillance box" that you can see in this trailer is remaining.

    Just imagine if FIFA had decided that Lionel Messi was in danger of destroying football by being too good ... and adjusted the rules of the World Cup as Argentina progressed throughout each round ... no substitutions ... no fouls ... and then, in the final, no time limit
    All in the hope of seeing him die on the field of play. Proving that the game of football allows for no individual to excel!
    Of course, Lionel Messi would survive the carnage around him ... and limply caress the ball into the goal with his hand (no fouls remember!)
    Argentina 1 - 0 France in complete silence ... then ..
    "m" - "me" - "messi. messi .. " - "Messi. Messi." .. "Messi! Messi! Messi!". ..
    "MESSI! MESSI! MESSI! MESSI MESSI!"
    "MESSEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
    Bach's Toccata and Fugue starts up again, as we see ever closer stills of Lionel Messi's determined face .. the champion lives on ...

    I love the Remake to be honest. It was far from a perfect movie but it was enjoyable none the less. I never saw the 1975 film but from the look of this trailer and the knowlede I have about the Remake. They're no where near the same film. I would say Rollerball 2002 is not a remake but more of a spinoff. That would make sense. A remake though? I dont think so.
