DVD Synopsis

Blood of Heroes features a sport that you're not likely to see on ESPN. It's called "juggers", and Rutger Hauer is the champion jugger in the post-apocalyptic world; he goes from village to village with his entourage, brutishly taking on all comers. The action culminates in the bloody "league championship." Joan Chen costars as Hauer's apprentice in the film, which was released in Australia as Salute of the Jugger. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Not another Mad Max ripoff, this movie is worth seeing. Well-shot (especially the battlegames), good music, and atmospheric. The plot is character-driven, but a single-track ride, and achieves near-elegance in its simplicity. The filmmakers took the material seriously, and it comes off unpretentious and earnest.
