    • Quotes

      Gary Lee: [opening narration, which also turns out to be a PATTON-esque Rollerboy-recruiting commercial] Before many of you were born, our parents caused the Great Crash. They were consumed with greed. They ignored repeated warnings, and borrowed more money than they could ever repay. They lost our farms, lost our factories, lost our homes. Alien races foreclosed on our nation while we... We were locked in homeless camps. Now America belongs to the enemy. Forget your parents. They didn't care about us. We are the New Generation, and we are the Remedy. You need a new family, a family that cares. The Rollerboys care. Join with us. Let us be your Strength. Let us be your Warriors. Help the White Army win back our homeland. The Day of the Rope is coming.

    How? Why?
    Take "BAD" and multiply it by the number of stars in the universe and you might come close to describing this movie. It almost has to be seen to be believed. As I watched "Rollerboys," I kept thinking: "How, how, how do movies like this ever get made?" In that sense, this movie grabs you. It spirals down into the depths of "awful" and "cheesy" and you just can't pull your eyes away. Haim should've taken the money and ran. He could have gone to college and become a doctor instead of a complete embarrassment.
