4.0 out of 5 stars A BRILLIANT SECOND RATE MOVIE 3 May 2003
By Stephen Hacker
Format:VHS Tape
Rutger Hauer at his moody best. Very much in the vein of the later Mad Max movies, or more appropriately the Don Johnson pre-cursor to all these, "A boy and his dog", the post-apocalypse world. All this, meets Rollerball or Deathrace 2000.

A film of harsh violence but a film with a heart.

It is not a great film, but if you watch this without pre-conceptions and with your cynisim in check, it is an enjoyable one to watch.

I was probably one of the handfull of people who actually saw this at the cinema, and I really enjoyed it.

I can heartily recomend this film, from someone rarely satisfied.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rutger Hauer at his best! 14 May 2003
By MR C J GREGORY
Format:VHS Tape
The film is compulsive viewing. The story is based upon a band of renegade 'juggers' on walkabout, welcoming any challenge eventually fighting their way to the top and in a quest to achieve their own personal goals.

A Jugger is a participant in this future game which is a cross between American football and the fictious sport featured in the film rollerball. The film is set in the future, with the five combatents being all having a part to play though the focus is on Rutgers' character and the female lead played by Joan Chen ( who was the pretty chinese women in Firewalk with me ).

The combat/sport scenes are very realistic and slightly graphically violent but hey, thats what the film is about but the linking scenes inbetween the showpiece 'games' tell a story of ambition, sturbborness and also suggest a certain sadness.

Excellent film, enjoyable on many levels, highly recommended as an action film and also very meaningful.

In my personal opinion Rutger was an excellent lead ( ref, Blade Runner, The Hitcher, Flesh and Blood ) and I don't know why he hasn't been more successful. I would have thought he would have made a perfect Magneto in the X-men series.

Seriously, rent it, buy it but watch it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Memorable and moving far future picture 27 Jun 2003
By Martin Turner HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:VHS Tape|Amazon Verified Purchase
Salute of the Jugger is a memorable and moving far future picture, set in a desert world that could very well be five hundred years after Mad Max.
Rutger Hauer is the leader of a sports team in the only game that the future world knows, called simply 'the game'. It's like a combination of rugby, roller ball and tag wrestling.
Joan Chen is a village girl whose ambition is to be a Jugger like Hauer, taking the place of the 'Quick' when Hauer's own team mate is injured.
Although Hauer's team play on the surface, the real game is played in the League, underground in the five cities. But Hauer has been exiled both from the League and from the Cities because of a misdemenour in his youth.
The powerful finale is reminiscent of the best sports movies you've ever seen — even better than Mean Machine.

This is an unusual, even unique film, which avoids almost all the cliches of science-fiction and creates its own territory. One to own and treasure.
