Ray A @icjacoach3 2d A guilty pleasure. While I hate that most say this depicts Roller Derby (it does not, it depicts Roller Games), I still appreciate the skating talent of those who entertained us. Raquel was great here, and Helena even better. See more CodyZamboni @CodyZamboni 08/23/2023 The stunning Raquel Welch is the whole show, in a nicely understated, appealing performance. Movie gets demerits for a slight plot, lots of shaky hand held camera work for the underwhelming roller derby scenes, featuring obvious stunt doubles wearing terrible wigs. See more 05/03/2021 I first saw this picture at an all-night movie marathon of B-pictures. I liked it then (40 years ago). Love it now. It has all sorts of problems associated with poorly budgeted films, but it's early pro-feminist storyline should be celebrated. Watch it and consider all the tribulations the Raquel Welch character goes through and you'll find her character to be truly inspiring. See more dave s 03/26/2021 Kansas City Bomber may have had a fighting chance at success had it not tried to pawn roller derby off as a legitimate sport and simply tried to delve into the subculture, like Aronofsky's The Wrestler. As it stands, it is simply scene after repetitive scene of implausible action, periodically interrupted by meaningless dramatic scenes away from the roller rink that don't seem to advance the plot (whatever plot there is) or do much of anything else. The acting is uniformly mediocre, at best, the sound in muffled to the point of being inaudible at times, and the end of the final match race features the worst editing imaginable. Much like the ‘sport' it depicts, Kansas City Bomber goes around in circles but doesn't really go anywhere. See more 08/13/2020 good film about the old roller derby events which i remember from way back. the action sequences were well played and the ongoing story was interesting. i've heard this sport called "pro wrestling on skates", and i agree; it's obviously staged but who cares, it was always fun to watch the skaters roughhousing antics.
