Oh, to think that "Xanadu" could've been a bigger success if they had only skated down the path of righteousness!! (and had some topless bimbos in a hot tub!!)
This was directed by my very good friend, the late, Donald G. Jackson - director of other classics such as I Hurt People and Hell Comes To Frogtown.
Donald died in 2003. He was the kindest and most generous person I've had the pleasure of being friends with in Hollywood and I miss him dearly.
I can tell you a great story. One day, after lunch at Chili Johns (one of Don's favorites), he pulled up side next to me and my buddy in the car on the way home and pointed to some kids on Razor Scooter.
"We should make a movie about those, but with samurai swords!" he yelled.
I said, "okay, let's write a script for it."
He replied, "who needs a script?" and he drove off.
Wonderful man and very much understood his place in the history of bizarre cinema. He would have loved to have seen his work put here alongside all the other great VHS treasures.
This one is different... terrible, to be sure... but putting nuns on roller skates and arming them with knives is fucking inspired. This is the work of some crippled mutant genius.
I've seen Hell Comes to Frogtown. This one looks even better. I read in Psychotronic Mag. that Jackson was infamous for working without a script. I think I remember he saw himself as something of an experimental filmmaker. Certainly would take this gem over late Godard!
pJ, he sounds awesome. We laugh at movies like this (as well we should), but that's a hell of a lot more entertaining, to me, than something like 300. (For one thing, it has naked females instead of naked males, ha!)

Just think: This is someone's masterpiece. Someone made this believing it would be a success.
Can that magic butterfly knife heal the damage this clip has done to my brain?
So if I cast healing spells, a smiley face pops up if I do it right? I never knew that.
Videos like this is what makes me keep coming back to EIT on a regular basis.

Saw this at the Silent Movie Theatre a couple months ago. It's like if Saban made a Troma movie.
ummm, I'm pretty sure those are roller skates
Post-apocalyptic roller-skating hot tub vixens with aloe vera knives I can swallow, but Barbara Walters as Mother Superior? Bit of a stretch.

Alrighty then!
Thanks D3.
It's stuff like this that whittles away my bank account on Amazon.
see ya in NY :)
For some reason, one of the chicks in the hot tub looked like Geena Davis.
Ranks right up there with the bingo cards as one of the most bizzare submissions
@batgirl - Get it... Roller... BLADE? I know, it's covered in layers of epic depth.

What...a-thefuck...wasthat?

Wow this reminds me of another amazing insane good/bad/good film, "Vegas in Space." Which is to say, modern art.
Well at least it didn't have Cher's "Hell on Wheels" as part of the soundtrack...
:|
This is the first time I can remember wanting so desperately to see the entire movie. Well done, EIT.
is this a Scientology training video?
I couldn't stop laughing at the damn nuns holding hands and skating around in circles.
I've been following this site for a little over a year now - and yet, something as terrible as this never gets old.
I can't believe this exists.
EIT educates me in ways I never thought possible.
I think I know... BUT I HAVE NO IDEA
I have this on VHS. Incredible film.
This. I have to have this.
The Rollerblader's a Spy!
Does anyone know of a source for "Blade Sisters" on DVD or for download? I'd love to have a copy.
This rules in every way possible.
After this I officially have converted to lesbian. I want to join the Rollerblade nunnery and bathe athletic hot chicks.
Word Verification: Sister
(It's a sign.)
Just when I thought EIT was getting old and boring, this comes up. You guys are always outdoing yourselves!
"The Rollerblader's a Spy!" LOL at a TF2 reference. Also, I love how that dog kept popping up randomly.
LULZ
Check out my video. I modified my E300 razor electric video. Now I get pushed around by this device while I am using rollerblades:

wat
omigosh i died when I saw the dog! the dog@ hahahaha
I still can't get over the fact that a film like this actually exists.
This seriously blows my mind.
P.S. Nice ass ;)

o_o Each blow is an invitation to heal...this video made my life with the epic absurdity. xD
Because nothing communicates "sexy" and "healing" like a conical hat.
