zardoz12 Review of Heavy Metal Parking Lot

Heavy Metal Parking Lot (1986 Video)

Drunk goobs with a camera crew (SPOILERS!)

[12 July 2002]

Shot on video somewhere in West Virginia, "Heavy Metal Parking Lot" is a pointless look at the massive tailgate party that precedes a "Judas Priest" concert. The concertgoers live up to every stereotype of mid-1980s metal fans in their dress, automobiles, and behavior. Drunk rambling is the order of the day while making the "satanic hand sign" whenever anybody mentions one of the idiotic "big hair" bands of that decade. An interminable 30-minute parade of spandex-clad women, hairy men boasting "Kill Them All" T-shirts, and one Camarro after another. I got to see this film because Chris Smith's "Home Movie" was not long enough for Landmark Theatres' to charge $8 per showing.
