THE ARENA 1974 (SHOUT FACTORY)

This is included in the Lethal Ladies 2 set along with Fly Me and Cover Girl Models. Pam Grier and Margaret Markov star as two women forced into slavery in the Roman empire, and then made to fight in the arena after the crowds become bored with only men fighting.
Roger Corman and actor Mark Damon produced this film and it is a very entertaining one at that. Other sin the cast include Rosalba Neri (Sara Bay) and Lucretia Love.
Highly recommended for Corman fans and exploitation fans in general. Loads of fun and there is also a making of feature which interviews Corman, Damon, Markov and others.
