Anecdotes

The Unholy Rollers is a 1972 American action comedy film directed by Vernon Zimmerman and starring Claudia Jennings.

Production

The film was made to cash in on publicity from MGM's roller derby film, Kansas City Bomber. Roger Corman agreed to produce the film for AIP, even though he had established his own studio, New World Pictures. This was one of the last times Corman collaborated with AIP.

There were several other competing roller derby films announced in early 1972. They included Jam produced by Al Ruddy starring Mama Cass and George Hamilton and directed by Steve Ihnat, and Wipeout with Lois Nettleton and Ina Balin. The Corman project was known as Leader of the Pack. However Jam and Wipeout where never made.

The movie was the first screenplay credit for Howard R. Cohen who went on to have a long association with Corman.
