Trivia
The movie was filmed on location in Spain, a country selected for its abundant desert landscape. Ironically, production was held up for several weeks due to--of all things--rain. It was also selected for its lower production costs - lower taxes, non-union crew, etc. - at the time.

Goofs
Metron's skates disappear as he pole-vaults over the fence to get into the Aqua Bunker, then they re-appear as he lands

Quotes
Gavial: [making improper advances] Terra? I like the sweat.
Terra: Get out, you creature of filth!
Gavial: Hey, I just wanna talk. Maybe a little HANDS-ON PARLEY?
Terra: [hits him with her shovel] Now I'm listening.
Gavial: [backs off] Next time.

Alternate versions
When originally released theatrically in the UK, the BBFC made cuts to secure a 'PG' rating. All cuts were waived in 1987 when the film was granted a '15' certificate for home video, later re-rated to a '12' certificate in 2016.

The nostalgia goggles, they do nothing!

After about 20 years of having little more than vague memories of this movie rollerskating about in my head, I finally broke down and re-watched Solarbabies.

All I can say is, well, bless them for trying. It really isn't a BAD movie... it does manage to be entertaining even though it occasionally drags. The only problem is that it borrows a lot from other movies and never seems to decide on a style of its own.

Overall I didn't feel as drawn in to the story as I'd hoped, but despite the somewhat vague plot and generic characters, it was still good fun. And if nothing else, it teaches us that all we really need to set things right in the world are friendship and roller skating. And maybe a magic ball from outer space.
