If you ever need to write a thesis for film class on the idea of the "Token Black Dude," you can easily use Roller Boogie has one of your foot notes. This is an outstanding example of a movie that showcased the ignorant bliss of the late 1970's. The drugs, the parties, the freedom and the fun. Linda Blair is pure eye candy as she rolls her way in and out of your hearts in this cult classic movie about roller skating and falling in love on and off the skating ring. A lot of stupid moments followed by more stupid moments. Still, this is a fun ride if you want to sit back and laugh at how easy going the late 1970's were. Did I mention that Linda Blair never looked better. Still coming down from her Exorcist fame, Linda is starting to blossom as a full figured woman. From here, her career has been down hill. Keep your eye on the "token black dude". He keeps jumping in and out of the movie with no real meaning besides agreeing with what all the "white" people have to say. Funny!
