Synopsis

"Battle Ball" is the new hot thing in the world of underground sports gambling. Motocross teams armed with metal claws and body armor fight their way to a caged car used as a moving goal. Led by corrupt bookmakers who want to up the blood and death to attract more people, one man decides to take a stand the only way he can: he takes the sport by storm and begins on a path of carnage and blood that can only bring the league down.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
