Prayer of the Rollerboys Movie Review 1991

Violent, futuristic, funky action as Haim infiltrates a criminal gang of syncopated roller-blading neo-nazi youth with plans for nationwide domination. Though routinely plotted and predictable, it's got great skating stunts and a wry vision of tomorrow's shattered USA--broke, drug-soaked, homeless, foreign-owned; even sharper when you realize this is a Japanese-American co-production.
