argh! this film hurts my head. and not in a good way.maybe it's just my growing hatred for the action genre, but even as a kid when i would swallow tripe like Navy Seals, i still regarded this film with dislike. now i utterly despise it.take one fairly good fast-paced story. keep the title and throw the rest away. instead use some half-assesd future gladiators storyline thats so full of plot holes the whole things in danger of collapsing (why is there a rebel base in the middle of the arena, what about the cameras? why have clearly marked footage of what really happened at bakersfeild in an unguarded room?)the whole film screams eighties, from the truley awful score to the goofy shiny costumes. ugh.don't watch this film. i know some people liked it, but some people get off on being peed on and i don't understand them either.
