It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This adult animated sci-fi/fantasy movie is an anthology of stories adapted from the magazine of the same name and original stories in the same spirit. It's full of violence and nudity and accompanied by the music of great rock and metal names of its time, including Sammy Hagar, Blue Öyster Cult, Cheap Trick, Don Felder, Nazareth, Journey, Stevie Nicks and legendary Black Sabbath. I think it gained cult status more because of its name, awesome music and naked women, than its objective quality, but although it's now outdated, those who grew up in eighties and nineties will understand its greatness, even if they're watching it now for the first time.8/10

The hand drawn animation is nearly Disney quality at parts in this sci fi fantasy adult animated shorts film based on a classic teen magazine. I thought I was slogging through a gratuitious display of sex and gore, but it features a surprisingly strong female character and a surprisingly tied together and upbeat ending.

Yeah I know well that the legend John Candy is in this but, I think this movie isn't one of his bests. There doesn't seem to be a really good plot to actually get glued into and the characters just aren't that interesting. I would've rather to have seen more action and take the story seriously! I still don't understand why this movie deserved four awards like, I feel that it doesn't deserve anything! I feel like it deserves absolutely nothing! Bad story line but boring and dull also. Don't watch it as it can be a waste of your time!

First realization is surprising by its precarious and quirky side but quickly mesmerizes (hypnotized), then the type of design with big features, of dubious (doubtful) entertainment and a little trash of the first story is not to all tastes. But we quickly forget this prejudice as the history and background captivates us. We must put this cartoon U.S. in its time (1981 release) and suddenly found some quality and undeniable artistic cachet; Japanese animation , in the same period was to Goldorak and Harlock 78 when its design. This achievement is even amazing on certain sequences like the B 17 which is turned around, or even more than during the flight of the Taarna's bird.The film is completely shifted (quirky) but the story, at least the storieS are exciting and captivating. Indeed, the history includes several stories, like the "Tales from the Crypt" or "Creepshow" or "quicksilver highway" (1997, by Mick Garris),…, here with a common factor: "the evil" incarnate by a green ball. This representation of evil reminds us of the movie "The Fifth Element" by Luc Besson (1997) with the taxi and unexpected girl passenger in distress. As heavy metal music and atmosphere and the presence of John Candy reminds us some scenes of "Spaceballs" by Mel Brooks (1987).The soundtrack is a reference here, as the heavy metal parts and the high quality philharmonic.This is a high quality film! It is true that there are already talents in this production as Ivan Reitman or Harold Ramis, John Candy , ...
