The Arena is a direct-to-video film from producer Roger Corman on the subject of female gladiators. It is a remake of the 1974 The Arena with Pam Grier. It was shot in Russia by Kazakh director Timur Bekmambetov with a Russian crew and it featured Playboy playmates Karen McDougal and Lisa Dergan, in their feature film debut, playing the roles of Amazon slaves forced to be gladiators in a Roman Arena.
The film, initially titled Gladiatrix, was deemed[by whom?] to be a knockoff of Gladiator.[citation needed] Although the film was not well received, it has turned into a lesser known cult film.
