The Arena (1974) is a movie in my DVD collection that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows the Romans needing some new entertainment. Some female slaves are purchased and set-up to fight each other to the death. Two slaves form a bond to try and find a way to set things up to eventually escape and earn their freedom but their owner has other plans.
This movie was directed by Steve Carver (Lone Wolf McQuade) and stars Pam Grier (Coffy), Margaret Markov (Black Mama White Mama), Daniele Vargas (Invincible Masker Rider), Maria Pia Conte (Day of Violence) and Lucretia Love (Love Angels).
The women in this movie are smoking hot...all of them. The attire and depiction of this era is very well done and the girl fights are solid. There's some great nudity and well executed rape scenes as well. The ending battle is unpredictable and sets up a worthwhile conclusion.
This movie has a lot going for it and is better than you may anticipate. I would score this a 7/10 and strongly recommend it.
