The individuals in this film were the best of the best in those early years. New Gladiators (1973) was financed by Elvis Presley, and it was found, restored and released 30 years later. Music in the film was scored by David Crosby and Graham Nash. New Gladiators (1973) is a film in the tradition of surfing’s Endless Summer, where a group of the top karate fighters from the USA travel the country and globe in search of the perfect tournament and the best opponents. New Gladiators (1973) features Ed Parker, Benny Urquidez, Roy Kurban, John Natividad, Steve (Sanders) Muhammad, Emil Farkas, England’s Ticky Donovan, Belgium’s Geert Lemmens and many, many more fighting stars of the Golden Era of Karate in America in the mid 1970’s.
