The Arena (1974)


The Arena follows the adventures of a bevy of slave girls who, upon finding themselves thrust into the gladiator ring, mount a vicious rebellion to fight their way to freedom.

This film has all you could want from a sword and sandals exploitation movie; Poor acting, worse dubbing, a ridiculous plot that takes itself too seriously, a more frequent implementation than the twenty minute rule for tits yet scantily clad women throughout anyway, unnecessary violence, camped up rape scenes, terrible dialogue and general low quality, it even has Pam Grier in it. How the fuck is this not in any lists of the greatest films of all time?
