Roller Boogie (5 of 5): This review is inspired by the lovely, ass-kicking "PrissKilla Prezleys" from the Memphis Roller Derby League. Especially, Chica Bandita, Lynda-Licious, Do-me-a-favor, and Hustlin Flow. Normally, I would have seen this on Showtime, watched 30 seconds, laughed hard, and kept moving. But since my drinking buddies and I have a newly-found appreciation for roller sports; I thought I would give it a try. Roller Boogie tells the story of a rich girl from California (Linda Blair) who is tired of her wealthy parents who don't pay any attention to her. She runs away and hooks up with the low-income, resident roller-skating hunk (did I just write that?) who aspires to win a gold medal in the Olympics for USA in roller skating. I don't know how this movie was passed up for an academy award. This movie is a cheezy as it comes. Lots of roler rink music, Cher....Abba...and other fine selections. Linda Blair actually plays a pretty sincere rich girl. Her dialogue and character are pretty strongly delivered. Also, she was, and for that matter still is, one of the most beautiful women from that generation. Don't believe me? Check here, or here and especially here. The movie gets an honorary 5 out of 5 due to all the short shorts, low-cut tops, beautiful women, and most importantly, The PrissKilla Prezleys might hunt me down and kick my ass if I give it anything else.

You have a problem. A SERIOUS ONE.
Scared of disco queens? Check out Detroit Rock City for what I am going to do to you, disco punk.
Hey clown...you should have seen these women, they were not to be messed with. One of them "accidentally" punched me in the mouth with a Super Bowl ring replica. It still hurts. Plus they were drinking Wild Turkey...straight. Not the wussy regular kind, some weird shit that was 52% alcohol by volume.
I can confirm MG#2's opinions of the Roller Derby team. They were hard core, especially Hustle 'n Flow. This one chick had a bruise on her thigh that looked like a tattoo - it was frightening!
Nice review. This actually helped me a lot as after reading your views about this movie I planned to pick the DVD of this movie. Its really a sweet movie and I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for this write up.
