Movie Reviews of Heavy Metal (Collector's Edition)

Movie Review: Super 80's!
Summary: 3 Stars

Wow! It's been so long since I've seen this. Most of it doesn't stand the test of time. The nudity is so gratuitous that it had me laughing after a while every time it'd come on screen. Even though there is a loose plot throughout the entire movie, it's basically a bunch of shorts:

"Soft Landing/Grimaldi"- The opening sequence definitely sets the tone of the movie with the 80's rock blaring while we watch an astronaut navigate a car in space towards Earth. Then we get the loose thread through all the stories which is the dreaded green glowing Loc-Nar- the sum of all evils!

"Harry Canyon"- This is one of my favorites. The animation's a little crude but I think it fits the `dirty' world that they're portraying. And I love the old noir detective feel it has as Harry narrates the story. It's got good action, and of course, boobs.

"Den"- I just can't take this one seriously, especially with John Candy narrating, whom I love as a comedian so it just cracks me up the way he narrates it. This truly is every nerd's dream to be whisked away to an alien world, transferred into a perfect body, and making it with hot babes. Who could ask for more?

"Captain Sternn" - The animation kind of lost me with this one and the story isn't that great. Plus the fact that one of the characters literally "Hulk's out" just makes it seem unoriginal. Sorry, but can't really salvage anything from this one.

"B-17" - This is my absolute favorite one out of the whole movie. It's the reason I wanted to go back and check it out. It's like an episode of the Twilight Zone. I love War World II stories so to set a horror idea with that as the backdrop was brilliant. I love the animation here and it still creeped me out after all these years.

"So Beautiful, So Dangerous" - In case you forgot that most of the creators contributing here grew up in the 70's, this one is a goofy reminder. A robot and two aliens capture a hot chick. The robot makes it with the chick while the two aliens get high on an insane amount of cocaine. Did I spoil the story for you? What story!

"Taarna" - This is the epic finale that ties the movie together (loosely) in grand fashion. The Loc-Nar creates an evil army on another world that decimates the local population. Enter Taarna, an elegant, beautiful, tough, and mute warrior who is like Wonder Woman on crack. The music and the animation evoke a fittingly grandiose finish to the project that is...

Heavy Metal!

Definitely check this out if you're a fan of adult animation.

Movie Review: Heavy Metal - A Classic
Summary: 5 Stars

This one classic animation at it's best by any definition of the term. Fond teenage memories of this movie brought me back to buy it, and the soundtrack, many years later.

Movie Review: Sex, Violence, and Rock N' Roll!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This ridiculous combination of sex, violence, and rock n' roll make up a fun late night movie that's not meant to be taken seriously. What you get is a formula that makes up a set of short stories that were done in the old school style of animation. I don't want to give anything away so I'll end this by again saying that this a fun movie that's worth your crave for entertainment.

Movie Review: Heavy Metal
Summary: 5 Stars

This epic combination of short stories based on a french sci-fi mag is a cult classic and a must have for anyone who likes metal creative story writing, and vintage 80's animation. This movie is probably more of a film for the guys, but girls who don't mind quite a bit of cartoon cleavage should be able to enjoy it just the same.
