To me, his greatest movie is Rollerball. From a short story in 1973, his adaptation (1975) foretold of the future we currently live in. In the movie Rollerball, they describe a dystopian future that identifies 6 corporations that rule the world. Sounds about right doesn't it. A must see. Rest in peace Norman.
I will be adding key events like these in the time-line. This is from -The Wichita Beacon 26 Apr 1974, Fri · Page 52
James Caan passed away on the July the 6th. Part of my childhood died too.
Very sad day for those who love James Caan and Rollerball.
This site it for entertainment purposes only. What I’d like to accomplish it 2 fold. 1) Have this site as a repository of as much information on Rollerball as possible and 2) perhaps start a dialog where we get a real remake or build enough interest to start a league. WRBL. (Ok I couldn’t resist.)
When you see this photo in full size you will see 2 number 6 and 9 as well. I'm sure there were a few Jonathan E.
I know it's hard to see in this picture, standing behind New York Biker #1 (AKA Tuffy if you didn't know) stands Bob Minor who not only was a biker for Houston #3 he also skated and burned up at the end in a stunt that went wrong. According to Eddie Kubo the Captain of the Tokyo team he said "...Tony Brubaker actually broke his leg in this stunt when his motorcycle hit the wall to straight on !!! Sorry Tony." So in the end of the sequence it's not Blue that is burning on the track it is Bob Minor.
