In the best thing to come out of 70’s media, a lost gem called Rock and Rule, with Lou as the jaggeresque rockstar/despot Mok, and featuring Debbie Harry and all of Cheap Trick as Our Intrepid Heroes.
Great flick, near impossible to find- but there are great clips on YouTube.
‘Course, Heavy Metal left me flat. But I was younger, and it has been many years… I might need to see HM again to be certain, but I think R &R was better in a lot of ways.

You can sing or you can SCREAM!!!
It is so sad to think that there is a whole generation that has missed this gem.
I have a bad copy taped from Night Flight 20 odd years ago – that and Wizards and Forbidden Zone…
Thank you for sharing, it made my morning.
