LEGEND OF THE ROLLER BLADE SEVEN:
It is essential to note that the filmmakers: Scott Shaw and Donald G. Jackson, in no way endorse the version of the film, LEGEND OF THE ROLLER BLADE SEVEN.
LEGEND OF THE ROLLER BLADE SEVEN is a film made up of footage taken from THE ROLLER BLADE SEVEN and RETURN OF THE ROLLER BLADE SEVEN, reedited and released, breaking all contracts with the filmmakers, and ultimately destroying their creative vision for these two films. Plus, there was some bad narration added to this version of the film.

RE-RETURN OF THE ROLLER BLADE SEVEN
This is a RARE, Never-Released, Re-Mastered, Screener Copy of a film titled, RETURN OF THE ROLLER BLADE SEVEN. This is not, however, the Director's Cut or the version of the film RETURN OF THE ROLLER BLADE SEVEN created by the filmmakers: Donald G. Jackson and Scott Shaw. Thus, it has been Re-Tilted, RE-RETURN OF THE ROLLER BLADE SEVEN. This version of the film was created under the supervision of the Executive Producer. It is predominately made up of edited footage taken, re-cut, and placed in a different sequence from the Director's Cuts of the films: THE ROLLER BLADE SEVEN and RETURN OF THE ROLLER BLADE SEVEN. This edit makes the film much more mainstream and less chaotic from the Director's Cut and it is interesting to view another production team’s interpretation of the footage.
