  Thank You Derek! Mr. Joe Nardone, listen to yourself, lets see you do a better job. And who says your facts are correct. However even if they are, like Derek said if every movie played out word for word from what we have documented, then movies would suck. Besides who gives a f**k what you think about the movie anyway. You are not stopping anyone from enjoying the movie because you think your smartass facts make a difference in what has already been produced. Do you really think that someone who loved the movie will suddenly think "oh wait, some dude just said those facts were wrong, well now I hate the movie.", mo I didn't think so. How about next time, you just leave the movie making to the professionals and your own personal attacks on what others enjoy to yourself. I will say as politely as possible, shut the f**k up and just watch the movie. And if need to go complain about something, find something worthy of having facts put out there to make a point. Try to at least use your "smarts" to make a difference and leave us fans in peace will you. Leave your hate at home sir. Thank You

  The Narrator didn't say that Roller Derby "became" a full contact sport in 1960, he said that "by" 1960 Roller Derby "evolves" into a full contact sport WITH a scoring system and bone rattling hits. And saying that "Roller Derby rolls into the history books" is just a dramatic way of saying that popularity and interest in the sport pretty much disappeared. It doesn't literally mean that every single person in the world stopped participating in, or even spectating at, the sport. If people made movies that read like History books then most people wouldn't watch them. There is no reason to be critical of a move when they haven't done anything wrong.

  PLEASE GET THE FACTS STRAIGHT! In this documentary, the narrator says, "by 1960 Roller Derby evolves into a full contact sport with a scoring system and bone rattling hits." (FACT - blocking and contact was added around 1938!!) Then he continues, "The 70's bring an economic downturn for the Old US of A and Roller Derby takes a hit and hard. Interest in the sport wanes and by the mid 70's Roller Derby rolls into the history books." FACT - yes, interest waned but the sport NEVER actually ended. It's been active (part-time mostly) in the SF area for years. Bill Griffiths kept Roller Games going in the LA area from the mid-70's right up until Rock 'N Roller Games and slightly later (i.e. 1991). He even took Roller Games on the road for some successful tours. Let's also not forget that the IRSL lasted from 1976-1987! This is another reason that so many Old School fans dismiss the modern version of flat track/banked track Roller Derby. Some WFTDA folks will have you believe they actually invented the sport! Like I said, GET THE FACTS STRAIGHT!

  This is one cool documentary! You feel like a fly on the wall while these crazy ladies re-invent the Roller derby world. I had the privilege of seeing this Great movie at it's SXSW premiere and was blown away by how in depth it felt. Nothing is better than seeing hot tattooed girls duke it out on and off the track. Highly recommended for anyone who has ever asked the question "What if women ruled the world". Answer: They'd claw each others eyes out...

  WONDERFUL! is about time that roller derby is back, where never should have left, in the forefront. Roller derby is a very fast pace energetic and exciting sport. I used to work at Madison Square Garden for Harry M. Stevens and most of the time when we had Roller Derby I would be watching instead of working. These girls deserve our support... PEACE AND LOVE JOSE L Rodriguez
