Leave your thoughts about The Blood of Heroes.
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanUnlike Rollerball or Death Race 2000, it serves up the carnage with Biblical solemnity. |
| VarietyVariety StaffPlot development is slim. Much of running time is given over to the game itself, which seems to have no rules except that the winning team places the skull of a dog atop a pointed stick. |
| Sci-Fi Movie PageJames O'EhleyThere is much worse sci-fi stuff gathering dust on your video shelves, but that is really no recommendation at all. |
| User ReviewKirk BNot many movies hold up so well. Great premise, especially compared to all the absolute trash that was coming out when this movie did. Rutger is great as always, but Joan chen steals the show. The premise is intriguing, unique and subdued. It is very character driven and never over the top. I watched it again today, and appreciate it even more, now. |
| User ReviewPrivate UBest movie ever made. End of story. Hollywood can just pack up and go home now. |
| User ReviewSNUFFY12the ultimate post h-bomb movie ever created |
| User ReviewKeirran MBrilliant movie. Never get sick of seeing it aagain. |
| User ReviewMads GThis is by far the best "B" movie ever i can watch this over and over again, thinking about the budget of this film its very well put together, i have been hungering for a sequel to be honest, but it would just ruin it. |
| User ReviewEuan SRemembered liking this when i was a kid and got a hold of a copy for nostalgia's sake - and it's quite brilliant, bearing in mind its low budget. A great cast led by the fantastic Rutger Hauer, turning in a great performance as ever, and served particularly well by support featuring Joan Chen (should have been a star, what happened to her?), Delroy Lindo and Vincent D'Onofrio. As with many other low-budget post apocalyptic movies it shares much with the Mad Max films, but makes no explanation of why the world is like this, it simply is. Also in many ways resembles any number of sports movies, so provides a familiarity to the story which allows you to sympathise with the characters. The dialogue is reasonable, and decently played, the action scenes are brutal and entertaining. All in all i would recommend this to any lovers of low-budget fare, as it has surprisingly few flaws, is directed and acted more than competently, and has an engaging plot which has you rooting for Hauer's team much in the same way as you rooted for Rocky. |
| User ReviewRyan LRutger Hauer's Best Movie. THis film makes you want to play post apocalyptic sports, Big Time. |
