REVIEWS

The Serious Comedy Site - The Roller Derby Chronicles

"The Roller Derby Chronicles DVD set is going to bring pleasant memories to anyone who has ever followed this sport. The 3 DVD set includes 2 documentaries about roller derby on disc 1: Rolling Thunder (2009) and Derby (1971). DVD 2 and 3 features games from 1960, 1974, 1973, and 1977 and incomplete footage from a game in 1952 and 1959. The insert for Roller Derby Chronicles is a reprint of a 1969 Sports Illustrated article that does a very good job of telling the story until then. This is a really cool box set and a must for roller derby fans.

Roller Derby is simple. 2 players wearing marked helmets have to lap all the other players. Their team gets one point for each opponent lapped. The other players wrestle and take spectacular falls. There are two referees and both went to the seeing eye dog school."

The Roller Derby Chronicles - DVD Talk

"You just knew I was going to like this one. VSC has released The Roller Derby Chronicles, a highly entertaining three-disc set devoted to the history of this wholly American sport. Featuring Rolling Thunder, an all-new documentary on the game's evolution, 1971's celebrated cinema verite documentary, Derby, and hours and hours of vintage game films and tapes from matches spanning the 1950s through the 1970s, the sum total of The Roller Derby Chronicles set is the most thorough examination of the sport I've encountered on disc (it may be the only one, for that matter). So tip the BarcaLounger® back, snag your wooden bowl of Beer Nuts®, crack open a cold brown bottle of Schlitz®, and settle in for some high-powered skating and some head-bustin' jamming."

"The Roller Derby Chronicles set is anchored by the brand new hour-long documentary Rolling Thunder Rolling Thunder Inc., established in 1987, is a veterans advocacy organization that works for the return of prisoners of war and missing in action from all of the conflicts of the United States. . The documentary takes viewers on a nostalgic journey that begins in the early days of television, through the halcyon days in the early 1960s, culminating in the great skating seasons of the 1970s. The film includes interviews with the stars of Roller Derby and examines the history of the sport, highlighting the most prominent skaters with rare action clips, including Mike Gammon, Charlie O'Connell and Gwen "Skinny Mini" Miller. The surviving stars interviewed skated from the early 1950s through the end of the 1970s. It is framed by coverage of the resurgence of the San Francisco Bay Bombers at the storied Kezar Pavilion in San Francisco, which was the home arena and broadcast center in the glory days of the Derby."
