| User ReviewLESTER NIF YOU ARE A FAN OF RACHEL WELCH ( IF NOT WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? LOL!!0 ALSO IF YOU LIKE ROLLER DERBY OR DID THIS IS A WEL DONE CLASSIC FILM! A MUST SEE! REAL ROLLER DERBY STARS OF THE IME I-E RONNIE PSCHICO REINS, SALLLY VEGA, ETC, STAR LSO! |
| User ReviewSandra DI love this movie, it got to my heart from the start. I have to begin by saying that Raquel Welch looked absolutely stunning in this film. She plays this hot to trot player in the dangerous and fast paced game of roller derby. It's a great watch if you love way back play backs!!! |
| User ReviewChris DUnlike many "sex symbols," Raquel Welch can actually act, and after putting in her time in parts that featured her physique more than her talent, she started choosing her own roles, and this was one of them. While the movie itself is dated and not Oscar material, it does show Welch doing very well playing a very unglamorous role (watch her chomping her gum during the National Anthem). |
| User ReviewScott MThe bad writing and stilted direction on display throughout KANSAS CITY BOMBER are easily overlooked whenever Raquel dons the spandex. In many ways, this is the SLAP SHOT of roller derby movies. |
| User ReviewZaar DKansas City Bomber is both a gritty realistic action film. Aside from the obvious plot drama Kansas City Bomber is probably the first movie to reveal the life of second rate athletes. This movie takes some chances with showing the skaters as they were in the 70s mostly middle aged and lonely people who travel from city to city in buses hanging out together in cheap bars and getting no other joy from their lives except while signing their fans autographs. |
| User ReviewOla GIn this movie Raquel Welch gets to play a less glamorous role. She plays a Roller Derby queen and a single mom. Roller Derby is a made for TV sport that copied Professional Wrestling. I remember watching Roller Derby on TV one time on a Saturday afternoon. I couldn't figure out what was going on then and after watching this movie I still don't know what the rules are. It was just an excuse for staging cat fights between the female skaters. The story in this movie is just a soap opera behind the scenes of a Roller Derby team. Raquel Welch plays K.C. the good looking member of a Roller Derby team. After she is traded from Kansas City to Portland she allows a sleazy team owner to make some moves on her and then she plays innocent when her teammates blame her for every move the owner makes that they don't like. She gets in a rivalry with the former star of the team who is an alcoholic and she befriends a big dumb jock who is the team villain. They show how everything is planned ahead before the matches and it's all just to get the crowd and the TV audience emotionally connected to the team. This movie was made just before the Disco era in the 1970's and polyester outfits where the latest thing. The only reason to watch the movie is to watch the skating that is OK when the stunt women are doing it, but kind of slow when Raquel and the other actresses are on screen. You can tell when it's the stunt women because their hair is over their faces while they are fighting or skating. It's also pretty good when the real Roller Derby skaters are allowed to do their thing. Roller Derby didn't last long. There was a TV sitcom for one season in the late 1970's based on this movie but then in the 1980's Professional Wrestling took off on cable TV and the audience for fake sports left Roller Derby behind. There have been some recent attempts to revive it by with amateur skaters but there's no money behind it. I couldn't tell if this movie was making fun of the working class people who followed Roller Derby or if they were trying to appeal to them. It looked like they used real Roller Derby fans for the crowd scenes but they seemed to like to use shots of the most red necked stupid looking fans to zoom in on. They even had a scene where the fans threw pop and food at a skater they didn't like. |
| User ReviewDana MCertainly a lot better than I was expecting. Raquel Welch is actually decent. Helena Kalianotes is good as well in a supporting role. Not overlong, moves at a good pace.The use of doubles though is painfully obvious. |
| User ReviewBill TCurious timepiece about the oh so 70's 'sport' of Roller Derby. Raquel plays KC, a derbyer (/?) who is trying to eke out a living while crazy politics happen all around her. Being traded, having people traded around her, being a pawn, playing a pawn, in outer words, just like any other sport. I suppose the story is ok, but the real focus in on the derby itself which is appropiate considering the time period. It just seems a bit much now... |
| User ReviewMichael GOne of Rocky's better films. But take her away and you get a very sketchy film. |
