Tagline(s): There can be only one winner
Suggested replacement tagline: It’s hard to find a yank tank in a scrap yard

Plot synopsis:

Terror stalks the highways of Los Angeles, a maniac known only as 'The Skull' is attacking innocent motorists with a terrifying car, custom-built for destruction. One man vows to end the madman's reign of fear.....'The Gladiator'.

Review:

As this is a TV movie be prepared for some awful NTSC imagery. Be prepared also for the absence of Russell Crowe.
The Gladiator is a very worthy tale of a mechanic who’s brother is killed due to the careless driving of one of his co-stars. He becomes a vigilante, we become bored. He learns some harsh lessons in life, we learn the harsh lesson not to watch TV movies.

Overall percentage: 27%
