Once again, we take another step closer to playing Deathball!
If you didn't realize it from that article Sean and I wrote way back when for Pyramid, I really like the movie "Blood of Heroes" aka "Salute to the Juggers." Sean Punch introduced it to me. It has some of my favorite things in it - Rutger Hauer, post-apocalyptic sports, Joan Chen, weird death sports, and more (like Vincent D'Onofrio and Delroy Lindo.) Is it a shock in a world with calcio fiorentino that people play the sport of the Juggers?
Special thanks to Tom Pluck for finding this and sending it to me.
Back in my SCA days there was a group in Arkansas who did a Blood of Heroes tournament every year. Only time I ever hit someone so hard they puked. (Thought they could juke past my (padded) speartip and run up on me. Were wrong.)
ReplyDeleteHow did your games compare to what's up there on video?
