Detroit Rock City. (1999)

[Mr. Vengeance]

I thought it was a pretty good movie, and when I think back to my young days, that was pretty much my friends and I when it came to KISS. People who didn't live in that era, might not appreciate just how huge a phenomenon KISS was in the 1970s. Unlike the bands that KISS took a lot from (Alice Cooper, Zappa, Bowie), KISS was really very visible to the public. Where Alice was considered dangerous and bizarre, he was not really a fixture on TV and such (until he went solo). KISS was on network tv (remember the Paul Lynde Halloween Special?) on lunchboxes, cartoons, EVERYWHERE! So parents actually got to see a lot of them and it caused two sets of reaction- they're harmless characters or they're dangerous degenerates.

I think I loved all the over the top scenes with the mother and her anti-KISS group best, because that shit actually happened. I remember our priest, as a kid, telling parents not to let us listen to KISS.

Mr. vengence...thank you for the trip back in time! even though I was like 8 when KISS was at the top believe it or not i do remember how popular they were back then. To be honest they scared the shit out of me. Eiether way KISS was pretty cool back then. Then again I've always been obsessed with the 70's! That's coming from a kid who grew up in the 80's...go figure!

I don't even know why they named the movie Detroit Rock City, WHEN IT WASN'T EVEN FILMED THERE!!!! It should have been renamed Toronto Rock City.

News flash dude...not every movie based on a location is filmed in the location. That's why it's called a movie...anyway..

A lot of movies are shot in Toronto, under the guise of being an American city. I'm not aware that all that much of the movie was shot in Toronto. The concert stuff was shot at Copps Colliseum, in Hamilton, Ontario.

I think the only 2 movies I've ever seen in which Toronto is itself in a movie (as opposed to being NYC) is "Canadian Bacon" and "Strange Brew"

There are tons of Canadian movies that are set in Toronto, which never got much play in the USA, of course. One of the best is Goin' Down the Road. A great movie and Canadian cult classic.

I loved the Stretch Armstrong bit in the convenience store.
Basically I thought the Tripp character was a Jay from Jay and Silent Bob ripoff. The movie had some funny parts though.

Both with SCTV alums, Candy, Moranis, Thomas. Great flicks!

hate the band, minus a few catchy songs, love the movie, minus a few blah moments.

Gene Simmons is an ugly fucker with a big mouth. Nuff.
