This is the dog skull. This is the breadwinner.

Salute of the Jugger, the Worst Great Rutger Hauer Movie That Wasn't A Comedy, looks to be coming out on cult label DVD this spring. My current copy is sadly unplayable, as I don't have an ancient cuneiform tablet reader, so I shall be leaping at it.

Jugger's a great film. I will hear nothing said against it, not about its cheesy Road Warrior desert setting, nor former League stars in tux and polished skull-plate, nor the silliness of the game's rules (which we've still never played, you know - but some Germans do).

This movie has a sweaty Joan Chen scrabbling in the dust under a whirling net for a meaty dog skull, while Rutger Hauer gets an eye poked out with a pugel stick. It need do nothing more.
