Stunt Rock 1978

Maki’s review:
Part documentary, part concert film, part action movie (sort of), Stunt Rock presents stunts and rock in their most undiluted form. Grant Page will be your new idol and Sorcery will be your new favorite band. Everything in this movie screams awesome, but don't expect any story. What exists is there simply to give Page a chance to say "I remember that..." before showing another montage of awesome stunts. The stunts are only topped by the performances of Sorcery, with The King Of Wizards fighting The Prince Of Darkness with illusions and magic while guitar solos wail. Yes, this is as awesome as it sounds. Just watch this movie.
It is. It really is. DVD appears to be out of print but there's apparently a re-release coming soon and it also shows on Turner Classic Movies occasionally, so there is hope for seeing this slice of awesomeness.
I watched the trailer and I'm pretty sure that wizard cast the "Orgasm" spell. Can you say "Magic Missle?"
Okay, enough dirty wizard jokes. That movie looks fucking awesome and I've been dying to see it since I saw Not Quite Hollywood. Sorcery's website is amazing enough as it is.
