7/10
DVD of cult classic offers plenty of features and extras
6 July 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Heavy Metal Parking Lot - legendary cult film taken in the Capital Centre parking lot on May 31,1986 before a Judas Priest/Dokken concert.The throng is ready to party and loud-it is a fun time capsule with tons of unintentional comedy and mullets and enthusiasm.I had heard about this movie for years and finally found the DVD.The DVD has the inspired original 15 minute film,7 minutes of outtakes,featurettes about the movie and the Capital Centre and 3 sequels- Monster Truck Parking Lot ,Neil Diamond Parking Lot & Harry Potter Parking Lot - none of the sequels capture the raw gonzo vibe of the 86 short film.Check out "TVs from Outer Space" - it is a video the film-makers shot of a local band-very funny stuff.The DVD also has commentary and an alumni section.A fun time capsule. B-
