DVD Reviews of Heavy Metal Parking Lot
DVD Review: Absolutely Hilarious
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is hilarious. My only complaint is that they only attend 1 Judas Priest concert and only capture about 20 minutes (however, the footage is priceless). There are some other great features on the DVD (my favorite being "Neil Diamond Parking Lot") and it's definitely worth the buy if you're into mocking the dregs of civilization. DVD Review: Hilarious Short Doc With Tons Of Bonus Material
Summary: 4 Stars
As someone who came of age during the 80's, I can definitely say this is an accurate depiction of metal fans during that time. These kids remind me of the redneck stoners at my high school who used to cut class to get high and listen to bands like Priest and Iron Maiden. Highlights include the infamous "Zebraman" and the various female fans rambling on about how they want to "jump the bones" of Rob Halford (who was still in the closet)and his band mates. This film is hilarious but also impressive in the way it is able to capture a certain place and time (ie) the American metal scene circa 1986.
Before purchasing customers should be aware that the doucumentary itself is only a mere 16 minutes long. What fills out the rest of the DVD is other similar short docs, such as "Neil Diamond Parking Lot" and "Harry Potter Sidewalk", outtakes, updates on the Priest fans as adults, and a lengthy segment where a dedicated metalhead shows off his massive record collection. None of this is quite as funny or entertaining as the original documentary. But most of it is worth a look.
DVD Review: Heavy Metal Parking lot
Summary: 4 Stars
I have seen this a couple times before. I finally had to purchase it and add it to my collection. It was such a flashback but so true of the time. That could have been any Heavy Metal lot at any venue across America at that time. My only complaint is it could have been longer. I'm sure there could have been an hour or better footage. Al in all i would recommend it to everyone..DVD Review: 20 Minute Joke Film: Expanded!
Summary: 3 Stars
It is amazing that the makers of the film were able to fill a DVD with extras for a 20 minute film, but it is very entertaining.
The film itself is classic and shows the stupidity of youth. But the extras really add a more complete experience. Favorites include:
-"Neil Diamond Parking Lot" is a perfect juxtaposition of the battiness of age VS. the stupidity of youth, just silly interviews with old folks at a Neil Diamond concert.
-The follow-up segment with the "Stars" of Heavy Metal Parking Lot is a satisfying experience as well. The disbelief and transformation of "Zebra-Man" is the best part.
-"Harry Potter Parking Lot" shows the modern day hysteria and the Naivete of childhood VS. the stupidity of youth VS. the battiness of age.
A fun DVD overall.
DVD Review: I mistakenly got the VHS when I wanted the DVD. my bad.
Summary: 1 Stars
I don't have a VHS and I don't know anyone who does. don't make the same mistake I did.
Description of Heavy Metal Parking Lot
Studio: Wea-des Moines Video Release Date: 10/30/2007Dude. Or let's put it another way: Duuuuuuuude!!!! The much-dubbed VHS sensation Heavy Metal Parking Lot has made it to DVD. In 1986 indie filmmakers John Heyn and Jeff Krulik wandered around a Maryland sports arena parking lot with a video camera, seeking to capture footage of Judas Priest fans in their native habitat. Among their muscle cars and between sips of Budweiser (in a just world, Anheuser Busch would have underwritten this documentary), the feather-haired followers of Priest put on a show rivaling any entertainment occurring inside the stadium that night. Bellowing and proselytizing their enthusiasm for all things related to leather-clad men with guitars, these fans are easy to laugh at for their drunken cluelessness, but are equally endearing for the way they represent rabid fandom in general. The DVD comes with spin-off parking lot documentaries featuring equally enthusiastic fans--of Neil Diamond and Harry Potter--and a "dub-o-vision" cut of the documentary replicating the experience of watching a 10th generation VHS copy. How metal is that? --Ryan Boudinot
