The Blood of Heroes

The Blood of Heroes (1989) is a post-apocalyptic action film you can watch online on iFILM. Writer-director David Webb Peoples — the same man who scripted Blade Runner and Unforgiven — built a scorched future where the only sport left is jugger: armored teams chasing a dog skull on a stake, beating each other half to death in the dirt. No crowds, no prizes. Just the next village and the next fight.

Veteran player Sallow (Rutger Hauer) has been wandering the wastelands since being expelled from the underground Cities, but a fierce young peasant named Kidda (Joan Chen) gives his ragged crew one last shot at the top Leagues. Delroy Lindo and a very young Vincent D'Onofrio round out the team. Shot across Australia and the US, the film runs 90 minutes and never wastes a minute on sentiment.
