	DVD Review - Heavy Metal
		Combining flashy imagery with a lot of violence and gratuitous sex, the film was the animated version of the comic book series of the same name and an easy to digest feast for pubescent boys with rock music influences and heroic dreams about a glorified adulthood filled with raunchy sex, drugs and rock and roll.
		The film completely captured and epitomized all the stereotypes of the generation and is now brought to DVD as a special edition by Columbia TriStar Home Video.
		"Heavy Metal" is presented in a widescreen aspect ratio that seems to be 1.78:1 on this release from Columbia TriStar Home Video, in a transfer that is 16x9 enhanced.

	Modamag.com \| Heavy Metal : Superbit (Movie Review)
		Over the years, the cult for “Heavy Metal” has grown, resulting in years of midnight movie screenings and a failed attempt at a sequel in 2000 that didn’t even come close in capturing the spirit of the first film.
		“Heavy Metal” is an acquired taste, but it is an original, thus deserving of at least one viewing for the uninitiated.
		Sony, after releasing an extensive special edition of this film three years ago, has decided to return to the title, and add it to their prestigious “Superbit” dvd line of releases.

	Heavy Metal Parking Lot
		Film Baby is a haven for independent filmmakers and those that love independent film.
		HEAVY METAL PARKING LOT is considered one of the greatest rock and roll movies of all time, although it's actually a hilarious documentary tribute to rock and roll's GREATEST FANS.
		Filmed in 1986 at a Maryland concert arena parking lot before a heavy metal show, HMPL is an unvarnished anthropological study of American metalheads in their mid-'80s glory.

	RITUALISTIC \|\| Articles
		The game was going to coincide with the theatrical release of the movie, titled Heavy Metal 2000 in North America, feeding off its hype and becoming a huge multi-platform release that would reach a variety of audiences and give Eidos’ Indiana-Jones-With-Boobs a run for her scant shillings.
		Initially, there were all different kinds of plans for the Heavy Metal game, but the final design did not come about until 1999, when the team of just ten switched to the Quake 3 engine and both began and finished development of a new game in essentially less then a year.
		Heavy Metal was a loud and violent, but also rich and vibrant, universe, which fitted Ritual just like a glove.

	DVDFILE.COM: Heavy Metal review
		Heavy Metal was a groundbreaking film when it was released in 1981.
		Rock music plays an important role in the feel of the film, and some of the sequences presented don't have a real narrative to follow, but rather are there just to accompany the music.
		Also of interest in Heavy Metal is the use of many wildly varying styles of animation, with some sequences drawn in a more traditional manner while other sequences present a much grittier look.

	Heavy metal music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Heavy metal themes are typically more grave than the generally airy pop from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s—focusing on war, nuclear annihilation, environmental issues, and political or religious propaganda.
		He states that "...it [heavy metal] was a term originated in a New York Times article reviewing a Jimi Hendrix performance," and claims the author described the Jimi Hendrix Experience "...like listening to heavy metal falling from the sky." The precise source of this claim, however, has not been found and its accuracy is disputed.
		The most popular subgenre of heavy metal emerged in the United States, coming from glam metal bands of the 1980s the epicentre for this explosion was mostly in the Sunset Strip from Los Angeles, California.

	Filmmaker Magazine \| Summer 2004: HEAVY METAL THERAPY
		The latter films inspired the formation of the West Memphis Three organization, a public advocacy group that has fought to overturn the death sentence of Damien Echols, whose was convicted of murder despite questionable evidence.
		Berlinger: As the film was unfolding and James went away for his nine-month absence, we decided to keep filming, and the record label agreed.
		Then, when the film might have been turned into a reality TV show, the band stepped in and said, “We don’t want it to go down that road.” Elektra was gracious enough to allow Metallica to buy the property back.

	Heavy Metal: Superbit (1981)
		Maybe, but all I know is that the cult classic appellation can be dangerous, since the films involved usually are backed with a great level of passion from their fans; the neophyte may receive some serious flack if he or she does not agree with that cult opinion.
		Heavy Metal appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		The audio of Heavy Metal largely appeared to remain the same, but that was a good thing, as the old DVD presented a fine auditory experience.

	Heavy Metal 2000 film review
		The original movie was at its time a unique phenomenon in film animation history with its cutting-edge heavy metal music soundtrack and animation of stories the like of which had never been placed on film before.
		The film was notorious at the time it was made for its animated sex scenes and unflinching violence and gore.
		While the original film effectively set out to portray an animation style as that of the artist in the original stories that were featured in Heavy Metal magazine, resulting in six very different but very highly stylized stories throughout the film, the style of this film fell flat.

	Techtite DVD Reviews
		The film concludes with the infamous "Taarna," the female swordsman who rides atop a giant alien bird of prey, and who is also the character on all the posters for the film (and this DVD case as well).
		Regardless of deserved age restrictions, Heavy Metal is an excellent salute to the magazine of the same name, which was first published in April of 1977, and is still sold to this very day.
		In addition, every single Heavy Metal magazine cover, from as far back as the premiere issue, is forevermore preserved on the DVD, making the DVD a definite must-have for any fan of the magazine.

	Mutant Reviewers from Hell do "Heavy Metal 2000"
		Heavy Metal 2000 is not so much the sequel of Heavy Metal as another animated movie in the same vein.
		With the hard metal soundtrack and flagrant naughty phrases spewed left and right, Heavy Metal 2000 tries so hard (and fails) to be an edgy, rebellious underground flick.
		Heavy Metal 2K is based upon the graphic novel The Melting Pot by Kevin Eastman, Simon Bisley, and Eric Talbot.

	Heavy Metal
		With its provocative animation sequences, Heavy Metal pioneered the introduction in the West of what has come to be known as "Japanimation": an innovative, imaginative style, beyond erotica to exotica and always staggeringly beautiful that was introduced by Japanese artists/animators starting in the late 70’s.
		The rough cut of Heavy Metal also features a commentary from Hacek, and this one appears to be in the traditional form; Hacek seems to speak semi-extemporaneously as he watches the film.
		Heavy Metal - The Illustrated Fantasy Magazine--"Before Star Wars changed the face of movie industry, and Close Encounters blew the doors off the box office, Heavy Metal magazine poised to destroy the old perception that 'comics are for kids!' The future had arrived."

	Hour.ca - Film - Heavy Metal Parking Lot: The films of Jeff Krulik
		If there's one film genre that truly benefits from the DVD format it's the documentary because here it is key to having the director's commentary on what he's filming and why.
		If you missed "Heavy Metal Parking Lot: The Films of Jeff Krulik" the first time around now is the perfect chance to see what you missed.
		I'm sure there is a huge group of 40 year olds out there who have fond memories of their mullets, tight jeans and hairspray, but at the same time hope they aren't the ones caught on Krulik's camera.

	AfterElton.com - Heavy Metal Becoming More Gay-Friendly?
		Demystified by his erroneous assumption, I began reminiscing with him about the many metal bands, Metalica, Motley Crue, Guns N Roses, that served as soundtrack to my youth, all the shows I had seen and how I’d dressed as Guns N Roses frontman Axel Rose last Halloween.
		As we proceeded to trade metal memories over beers, he even announced that he would be heading to Sacramento in the next couple of days to catch the Crue show.
		Heavier than hard rock, the genre's screaming vocals, aggressive, driving rhythms, highly amplified guitars, sexist lyrics and dark obsessions have for the most part never appealed to a gay audience in the same way that disco, RandB and handbag house have.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Heavy Metal 2000
		But the prototype for Strain's stacked assets has been lying around within the pages of Heavy Metal, the groundbreaking adult comic lifer, since it started showing up on the magazine racks in 1977, which also happened to be the year Star Wars reopened the sci-fi market for good.
		Heavy Metal was a guilty pleasure for every straight adolescent male growing up in the following decades, as well as one of the first major comics to successfully mix sex, gore, and sci-fi for an aging audience quickly tiring of the bland Archie mold.
		The first film, released in 1978, was a moderate success until copyright issues forced it into a legal morass (ironic, considering the soundtrack, starring lightweight '70s AOR staples like Sammy Hagar, Journey, Don Felder, and Blue Oyster Cult, is the very thing about the film that hasn't stood the test of time).

	Heavy Metal
		Heavy Metal should obviously be seen on the big screen with a great sound system since it is basically a series of animated graphic fantasies set to hard rock music.
		No doubt much gets lost in the translation to video, but the film is worthwhile seeing even if it is only for the sequences featuring the New York cabby (later on pilfered by The Fifth Element) and the boy whose macho fantasies comes true.
		Heavy Metal was followed by a largely pointless and inferior sequel 19 years later which eschewed the fragmentary approach of telling several stories and settled for only one instead.

		Heavy Metal is one of the classic underground cult films, and one of the most popular in Columbia/TriStar's video collection.

		Each of the stories has a reference to the green orb, and the orb is telling each story to a young girl.
		The best thing on this disc, is the ability to watch the film in its work print stage.

	HEAVY METAL 2000 \| Frederic Talgorn @ Cinemusic Online (Site not responding. Last check: )
		An initial, superficial listen of Frederic Talgorn's HEAVY METAL 2000 album might lead to the conclusion that it's merely another space opera that owes it's very existence to John Williams' STAR WARS.
		What HEAVY METAL 2000 lacks in outrageous personality it makes up for in fully-fleshed-out symphonic orchestration and plenty of epic passages.
		While the film HEAVY METAL 2000 was a critical and financial disaster, one that was laden with rock songs it's amazing that Talgorn's score is so excellent.

	Heavy Metal (magazine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Heavy Metal is an American science fiction and fantasy comics magazine, known primarily for its blend of dark fantasy/science fiction and erotica.
		This direct-to-video release was not based on stories from the magazine, but instead was based on The Melting Pot, a graphic novel written by Kevin Eastman and drawn by artist Simon Bisley, who based the appearance of the female protagonist after pornographic model and B-movie actress, Julie Strain, the wife of Kevin Eastman.
		Some critics feel Heavy Metal's style and content is too violent and pornographic and argue for protectively banning its sale to minors.

		A recent issue of the Zentertainment e-mailer indicates that former wrestler Rena Mero (formerly known as Sable) is considering a starring in a TV show that would spin off from the first Heavy Metal movie.
