The Blood of Heroes! (aka Salute to the Jugger)
Brandon it exists!
Some of you may remember a story shared between Brandon and myself, a shared but seperate story of a movie we both watched years ago during the summer before we began highschool. We both watched this seperately at around 3 or 4 in the morning on TNT. And weve never been able to find it since then, no one knows the name, and no one else saw it. Well I have good news, it is real and the mystery can finally be solved. The Blood of Heroes exists! Now again only shown late at night (2:30 am), this time on HBO Zone. And again, I have no one to watch it with. Brandon is asleep and wont answer my calls, so this time I watch it truly alone.
Combine these to picture this movie. Mad Max, American Gladiators, and Football/Rugby played with a fresh dog skull.
Here is the summary from digital cable.
"Another woman joins a future gladiator's band of "juggers" against fighters of the ruling elite"
And heres from IMDB
"A Mad Max-esque post apocalyptic world provides the backdrop for a brutal, futuristic game resembling football. Rutger Hauer plays a disgraced former star leading a rag tag group of "Juggers" to one of the remaining Nine Cities for glory and redemption."
Heres a quote.
Gonzo: "Lord Vile, I've broken Juggers in half, smashed their bones, left the ground behind me wet with brains. There's nothing I wouldn't do to win. But I never hurt anyone for any reason other than sticking a dog's skull on a stake."
Sounds amazing right? Damn right it is. We need to find a copy of this and hold a mass veiwing, maybe a post apocolypse night.
p.s. im back in town now.
