Steel Arena is a very middle-of-the-road grindhouse picture that might be worth a watch for fans of the genre.

I recently watched Steel Arena (1973) on Tubi. The storyline follows a demolition derby and stunt car driver looking for his next big stunt to catch his big break and escape the sideshow circuit. He keeps pushing the limits, hoping to be discovered-but will he take it too far?This film is written and directed by Mark L. Lester (Commando) and stars Gene Drew (Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw), Dusty Russell, Buddy Love, and Laura Brooks.Essentially, this is a movie about demolition derbies and the stunts that come with them. The acting and costumes are unintentionally hilarious, especially the main character. While the demolition derby scenes are entertaining, they're not strong enough to carry the film, and most of it ends up feeling pretty cheesy.Overall, Steel Arena is a very middle-of-the-road grindhouse picture that might be worth a watch for fans of the genre. I'd rate it a 5/10.

Can someone help me??

If there is anyone out there that saw this movie, please let me know...I am trying to figure out a movie I saw at the Drive-In around 1973 or so, about a guy who did 'jumps' over cars....he had a girlfriend that begged him not to keep living this dangerous lifestyle...In one scene, some guy goes, "Lets get some beer"...I don't know why I remember that line, but I just do. I believe he made bigger and longer jumps as time went on...and near the end, he made a jump over some cars and was killed. The last scene shows the girlfriend flying back home in silent thought....I have spent years trying to figure out what movie this is...and I think 'Steel Arena' may be it!!!!
