Heavy Metal (1981)
Director: Gerald Potterton
Starring: John Candy, Joe Flaherty, Harold Ramis, Eugene Levy, John Vernon
More Info: IMDB
Tagline: A Step Beyond Science Fiction
Plot: A glowing orb terrorizes a young girl with a collection of stories of dark fantasy, eroticism and horror.
My Rating: 5/10
Would I watch it again? Nope
I can't believe that I've lived this long without seeing this movie. Now I can believe that if I live to be 1,000 I will never see this movie again. It's great if you're ten years old. It's an anthology with only one decent story (the last one, if I remember right). Everything else is just OK. Nothing special.
If there's one thing I learned about outer space from this film it's that there are no women with less than a healthy D-cup, a tiny waist and curvaceous hips.
Good score by Elmer Bernstein, though.
One good thing that came out of this is that a lot of the cab driver story ended up in THE FIFTH ELEMENT (1997).
