message: The comment about the rich women being intelligence agents is ridiculous. 
* Even if they were all employed as spies on their mates, the likelihood that they would need weapons training is non-sensical. Remember, their domestic partners are pampered business executives, not James Bond nor Red Grant. Plenty of corporate espionage can happen without any physical violence. 
* If they were all spies with such training, why would multiple agents blow their cover at the party?  
Much simpler explanations of the scene:
* a bored and perverse society that needs violence and destruction to stay entertained (already stated in the article). 
* pleasure unit women venting out their sublimated anger over their imposed roles in this heartless society. 
For either reason, the scene would have been much less effective if all of the pistol shots hit the ground.  Dyl 01:21, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I have looked but couldn't find a listing of small parts in Rollerball.  Look at the first game's referee. I am pretty sure that is John Travolta.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.213.224.36 (talk) 06:28, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  John Travolta cameo? 

message: I've seen this (rather lousy) picture, which thow is somekind of a story unlike the new version by John Mc Tierman - my subjective point of view. But this is discussion, not article. To the probably young man who wants mor verifications on this film - how should it be possible to verify even more then the article wrighters already have done ? It's an unknowm shit movie 35 years old ! But the article is OK thow. There is no more things to verify but watching the shit. Please do remove the 
"suggestion" to add more verifications. The film is described as it is, and from an objective point of view. (By the way I saw it in a cinema with 800 seats - and 20 people watching. But I do remember my first x-rated movies very well. (i'm 46 today)

thread_title: About verifications (on films older then the www)

message: To begin with, the IP(s) adding the link were blocked for a few months back in 2012, and haven't stopped editing, so the block is still in effect.  I'm not sure that corporate-run society is a appropriate link, as opposed to an WP:EGG.  If appropriate, it should be up in the lead, probably instead of in the body.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 08:55, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

message: The link to the article "The Evolution of Rollerball" is broken, but attempts to relink it from my end have failed. The game site where the article originally appeared folded, so it was republished elsewhere. Feel free to update it or not.
