"Prayer of the Rollerboys," released in 1990 and directed by Rick King, is a dystopian sci-fi film set in a future America ravaged by economic collapse and social unrest. The film is notable for its unique blend of rollerblading action and futuristic themes, and stars Corey Haim.
The story is set in a grim, post-apocalyptic Los Angeles where society is divided and crime is rampant. The Rollerboys, a gang of rollerblading thugs, have taken control of the streets with their aggressive tactics and drug distribution. They are led by a charismatic and ruthless leader, played by actor Patrick Muldoon.
Corey Haim plays a young man named Brad, who is a former rollerblading champion and a member of the Rollerboys. As the film progresses, Brad becomes disillusioned with the gang’s violent ways and their involvement in a sinister drug scheme. He begins to question his loyalties and faces moral dilemmas as he tries to navigate the dangerous world around him.
"Prayer of the Rollerboys" combines elements of action, drama, and science fiction. The film features high-octane rollerblading sequences, which were relatively novel at the time, and uses them as a backdrop for its exploration of themes like corruption, redemption, and the impact of societal decay. The rollerblading scenes are both a visual spectacle and a metaphor for the characters' turbulent lives.
While "Prayer of the Rollerboys" received mixed reviews upon release, it has since garnered a niche following for its distinctive style and imaginative premise. Its portrayal of a dystopian future, combined with its action-packed rollerblading scenes, gives it a unique place in the early '90s sci-fi genre.
