Rollerball Is The Worst Movie I've Ever Seen, But The Original Starring James Caan Is Still A '70s Gem

James Caan wearing a helmet with his arm raised in Rollerball.

What is the very worst movie you’ve ever seen in your entire life? I’m not just talking bad, I’m talking, “WOW. That was 100% booty cheeks.” Well, for me, it has to be 2002’s Rollerball, which is unquestionably the worst thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

This especially stings since it’s a TERRIBLE remake of one of the more interesting films of the ‘70s, 1975’s Rollerball, starring James Caan. Directed by Norman Jewison (the same man who directed one of Sidney Poitier’s best movies, In the Heat of the Night), Rollerball is a dystopian nightmare that is based on a short story titled “Roller Ball Murder,” written by the movie’s screenwriter, William Harrison.
