Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - With rollerskates and a prayer....
In "Prayer of the Rollerboys", Corey Haim stars as a teenaged boy whose younger brother is addicted to drugs, thanks to roller-skating white supremacists. This is Roller Derby, but it's about fighting for the future! Haim constantly gives his brother the "just say no to drugs" lecture (it was the '80s). In the meantime, he finds out the evil rollerboys (who wear white suits&are accompanied by cheesy synth music) are collaborating with some Japanese dudes,and are planning on the "Day of the Rope." ...

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - One of those "so bad it's almost good" movies
I bought this movie because I loved "Firstborn" from 1984, which also
starred Christopher Collett and Corey Haim. A user review from that film
tipped me off. I noticed the reviews of "Prayer..." were terrible and
so I wasn't expecting much. This movie is absolutely awful. But it is
rather fun and entertaining. Unfortunately, I am getting too old to
waste 85 minutes on junk, but despite an awful script, terrible effects
for a futuristic sci-fi, and amateurish direction ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A great flim
This is another great film with Corey Haim as the lead actor. This film didn't get enough attention when it came out. I love this movie because it deals with what could happen at any time in America as well as some home turf terrorism and the drug problem.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Another solid early 90's flick
I GIVE THIS MOVIE 3 STARS.THE MOVIE IS GOOD , IT'S LIKE A WHITE VERSION OF A BLACK GANGSTER MOVIE.BUT THE WHITE GUYS ARE A GANG OF ROLLER BLADER'S LIKE 30-80 DEEP IN MEMBERS.
I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS MOVIE SINCE LIKE 1996 AND I CAN'T REMEMBER IF THERE WAS LAME PARTS OR CORNY ,BUT I'M SURE THERE IS IT'S 1991 FILM MAKING.

IF IT COMES OUT ON DVD IT SHOULD BE A 10 DOLLAR MOVIE , ALONG WITH GLEAMING THE CUBE.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It's Not Meant To Be A Rollerblading Movie...
...As I said this movie really isn't about rollerbladeing; that was just a tie-in to entice us. Remember when rollerblading was really popular during the early Nineties? Anyways, "Prayer of The Rollerboys" is about Neo-Naziism,(at least if you watch really closely) if not; then it really is just a rollerblading movie. If you pay attention very carefully you'll notice that every 'Rollerboy' is let's say white(I'm not kidding; watch for yourself). Also if you pay attention to all of Gary Lee's associates; you'll ...
