The beefers are hitting the pavement and the skulls of our fellow man in this one.  We cover three films where skaters are young, old and possibly in peril.  When pretty boy skater Brian’s brother is murdered, it’s up this punk to defy corporate stooges, one fiery cop and California traffic to save the world from Vietnamese freedom fighters.  All this and The Bones Brigade in Gleaming The Cube. Next, when the world is dry and teens are beautiful there is only one way to roll.  By saving the wasteland from propaganda videos, rubber traders and killer robots. All that and stereotypical beat boxing with sentient orbs in Solarbabies. Finally, when the public are bored for the same old ultraviolence, it’s up to Jonathon E to entertain and lay out the competition and the executives that control everything. All that and anatomy lessons with Moonpie in Rollerball.
