If you loved Hands of Steel, try Arena
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Action / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hands of Steel, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Arena is
You're a short-order cook on a space station catering to alien prizefighters. But you enter the ring, beating the odds. A local gangster puts a target on your back. Manoogian's low-budget sets recall Roger Corman, as does the underdog story.
