With a fellow IMDber having recently done a great thread about Rock movies on IMDbs Classic Film board,I was pleased to discover that a family friend had recently got hold of girl band Sci-Fi flick!,which led to me getting ready to find out how vicious their lips could be.
The plot:
Hired to be the new singer after the original one has died, Judy Jetson finds herself playing in burnt-out Rock clubs with her Punk band.Trying to get the band to hit the big team,the groups manager is pleased to reveal that they have been invited to perform a huge gig,but there is a catch,which is that the venue is on a different planet.
View on the film:
Made as Hair Metal was just reaching its peak,writer/director Albert Pyun & cinematographer Tim Suhrstedt turn their spaces travels into glitz covered music video,with smoked covered corridors,flashing lights and huge hair giving the title a delightfully kitsch atmosphere.Whilst he gives the movie some catchy songs and is surrounded by great looking girls,the screenplay by Pyun fails to grab the glitter on screen,due to Pyun sticking the group in a spaceship for most of the film,where the music is left behind which leads to the spaceship plodding along to its destination,in a movie which has no vicious lips at all.
