Arlis Fuson The Lone Rangers (all 3 of them) are hard up to get a record deal, they try everything. After the lead singer/guitarist gets kicked out of his girlfriends apt. he knows he must make it happen. The three of them burst into a radio station begging for their demo to be played. When their demands aren't met they hold the station up with fake guns and go on air and get all the rockers in the city involved. The band learns many lessons, the DJ learns of how dirty his boss is, and the cops learn they have their work cut out for them on this wild rock and roll hostage comedy.This movie came out in 94 when things like Waynes World was still in everyones mind. Rock and Roll was still breathing and hair metal had all but died, but MTV was still playing videos and keeping it popular enough for this movie to work.I have seen this a few times and it never did much for me, it has some okay music including Motorhead and White Zombie, but it also has a lot of crappy music that is now very dated. It isn't very funny, but it's worth a watch.Brendon Frasure did okay in his early movies and I can say that here too. Steve Buscemi is always great, but he seemed much more vibrant and youthful here, which was a different side of him as he usually plays a boring serious sarcastic character. Adam Sandler was at the height of his SNL stardom and he is a horrible actor, always has been. Other great performances can be seen by people like Ernie Hudson as a cop, Harold Ramis, Ernies Ghostbuster partner can be seen here in a small role, Chris Farley playing the silly fat guy as he done so well, Michael McKean as a yuppie radio station owner, Joe Mantegna as a long haired DJ, David Arquette also as a crazy surfer dude working at the station and Michael Richards playing a crazy employee of the station who spends the entire movie hiding in the air ducts. Judd Nelson plays an uptight record studio president, the same company name used in Waynes World. Lemmy from Motorhead has a cameo here and white zombie play live in a bar, even MTV'S dinosaur VJ Kurt Loder makes a cameo.My problem with it was that it just wasn't rock and roll enough for me. Why does the fender on Brendans motorcycle say "fag"? Also I hated that Beavis and Butthead called in at the radio station, that was stupid...4/10 stars, worth a watch, but nothing great...not a true rock and roll movie.
dobbin-4 Adam Sandler, Brendon Frazer and Steve Buscemi star in this hilarious comedy that proves that movies that take risks pay off. The film is about 3 not so smart striving rock stars who after they get blown off on a radio show with an obnoxious boss and stuck up radio leader. Well from then they end up holding up the place and there leads to an hilarious movie. This movie is a very funny one Adam Sandler did very well in not to say the other 2 main character did not as even the cameos and co stars did a good job in this film. Overall the movie is extremely funny and I think is the funniest Adam Sandler movie that he does not star outrightly in. I rate this movie a fair 73% for keeping me laughing the whole way
samcracc I saw that movie and it was Hilarius. Brendan Fraser as Chester 'Chazz' Darvey is Hilarius and his scared when they try to run out of here. Steve Buscemi as Rex is funny. Adam Sandler as Pip is hysterical. Chris Farley as Officer Wilson was perfect. Michael McKean as Milo Jackson is brilliant. Amy Locane as Kayla is not very that nice to Chazz in Airheads. Nina Siemaszko as Suzzi is cute. The music is excellent and when The Lone Rangers play tonight outside. This story is when Chazz to breaks in the Radio Station and then never has Kayla any more because Chazz musics are worthless. This movie is Hilarius you will like the cast and also the movie except some nonsense.
Faisal_Flamingo 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.
