Salute of the Jugger (aka The Blood of Heroes) (1989)

Why It's in the Collection

This is the movie that began the need for the Superion Collection. It’s weird, it’s post apocalyptic, its a sports movie for Jimmy’s sake. It’s also Rutger Hauer, Delroy Lindo, Anna Katarina, and Vincent D’onofrio, playing with pugil sticks and chains, while wearing tires for protection, all while Joan Chen gets violent. The stunts, choreography, and the physicality of this movie are beyond impressive. As are the one liners.

If you haven’t seen this, you owe it to yourself to do so. Especially with the recent release of a 4k widescreen release from Umbrella Entertainment.
