Airheads (1994)

the audience applauded

Powerful

Just what I expected

A different way of telling a story

The movie is awesome! Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi and Adam Sandler all show great chemistry together. Follow that up with endless cameos from a couple of Ghost Busters, Lemmy, Kramer, Farley, Rob Zombie etc etc, and you've got yourself a great cast. The jokes are well written and unforced. Though childish at some moments,(But aren't we all sometimes) this movie keeps the laughs coming. You can really tell that the actors and the writers loved the music they were writing about. The detail and thought put in to it is very commendable. Right down to some of the lesser known metal band stickers inside the Lone Rangers tour vehicle/pool cleaning van. It may be over 20 years old but the plot is still pretty relevant. Watch this movie if you haven't already.

The Lone Rangers, an unsigned, self-proclaimed "power slop" band, consisting of guitarist Chazz Darby (Fraser), bassist Rex (Buscemi) and drummer Pip (Sandler), takes over a radio station so they can get their demo played on the air, and hopefully get a record contract. The whole thing goes spiraling downhill when their demo is destroyed, and while trying to escape, the boys come to realize that the radio station has become surrounded by the police. The Lone Rangers take the radio station and it's staff hostage with water guns that look like Uzis (filled with hot sauce) and with all their might try to get their demo to get some airplay as a crowd of soon-to-be fans gathers at the station to follow the mayhem.Now, the only reason I wanted to watch 'Airheads' in the first place was because I saw on the TV section of the newspapers that the wonderful Steve Buscemi would be starring in it. I was certainly not expecting it to be as funny as it turned out to be. I've never been a huge fan of Brendan Fraser and I still have a strong dislike for Adam Sandler, but this trio came together in 'Airheads' and created something so funny I laugh out loud whenever I think about some if it's moments, which does earn me the occasional glance in a public bus. Being a big fan of heavy metal myself, I was happily surprised to see White Zombie AND Lemmy himself in cameos, and the movie delivered some hilarious and original dialogue.As with every movie, it does have it's flaws; some of the jokes just don't deliver, and the character of the man hiding in the air ducts was, in my opinion, a bit too dramatic and silly. The big finale on the rooftop of the KPPX building was also a bit too weird for my taste.If you're looking for a simple and funny movie to rock your world, 'Airheads' is the one to go for!

I just got this movie and I really like this film. I was not expecting this to be much, but as usual, I am wrong. This film is about three guys who are in a band and nobody listens to their music. They decide to break in a radio station and take over the place and people as hostages. The acting is excellent and the chemistry is great. Sandler and Buscemi are hilarious. They are the best part of the film. The script and the basic plot line worked well together. I liked the music for the film. I am not a big fan of this kind of music, but somehow Sandler and the gang just made the music work. I recommend this movie for everybody. I rate this film a 9/10.

It is not a favorite movie or something .. I just enjoyed it a little bit and decided to continue watching for Steve Buscemi's sake.I'm not big heavy-metal rock fan .. but I know someone is .. and the movie is kinda reminds me of my heavy-metal rock friend whose character is close to Steve Buscemi character in many ways.The movie started OK .. but ended very terribly, I think.However, it is a little fun to watch some losers' dream .. like if they think they will rock the whole world when their song is been heard by some fans or critics.It is just a little movie .. which will do you no harm to watch it .. maybe it is a waste of time, is it? .. I don't know.
