    I love this movie, it got to my heart from the start. I have to begin by saying that Raquel Welch looked absolutely stunning in this film. She plays this hot to trot player in the dangerous and fast paced game of roller derby. It's a great watch if you love way back play backs!!!

    Kansas City Bomber is both a gritty realistic action film. Aside from the obvious plot drama Kansas City Bomber is probably the first movie to reveal the life of second rate athletes. This movie takes some chances with showing the skaters as they were in the 70s mostly middle age...( read more)d and lonely people who travel from city to city in buses hanging out together in cheap bars and getting no other joy from their lives except while signing their fans autographs.
