"K. C. Carr" (Raquel Welch) is a jammer for the Kansas City Ramblers roller derby team and has just been traded to the Portland Loggers. The problem is Portland already has a jammer named "Jackie Burdette" (Helena Kallianiotes) who has been there 6 years and is the captain of the team and she has no intention of surrendering her position. The owner, "Burt Henry" (Kevin McCarthy) believes that K.C. is the future but at the same time doesn't mind a heated rivalry because it sells tickets. What he doesn't quite realize is just how serious the rivalry will become. Be that as it may, while the drama and some of the acting is a bit heavy, this film still delivers enough thrills and spills to be entertaining. Likewise, the presence of two attractive actresses like Racquel Welch and Helena Kallianiotes certainly doesn't hurt either. One thing I will say, however, is that this film is somewhat dated and it could probably use a modern remake. But other than that I found it enjoyable and rate it as slightly above average.
