Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe movie was intended as the starting point for a "Son of Bond"-type film series. It not only bombed at the box-office, but was shunned by its own co-star, Gene Simmons. Years later, when a fan recognized him as "Velvet Von Ragnar", Simmons exclaimed "Don't tell me you SAW that thing!"
- GoofsWhen Ragnar hurls young Stargrove over the top rail of the dam, one can see the attached safety cable keeping the stunt double from plummeting to his death.
- Quotes
Velvet Von Ragnar: I've figured out how to access their computers to re-channel radioactive waste so it goes from Diablo Canyon... into their *drinking water*.
[Ragnar's henchmen look at each other in confusion]
Velvet Von Ragnar: Poison the water supply!
[shouts]
Velvet Von Ragnar: I'm gonna poison their water supply! For gold! For ransom! For jewels! For money!
[laughs maniacally]

Playin' your own game Do it your own way Keepin' your own sound That you found Goin' down Playin' like you play
Who knows what you'll find You might like it, or not But all that you find, boy Is all that you got
(Stargrove!) Flying like you've never flown (Stargrove!) Runnin' through a danger zone (Stargrove!) Are you gonna stand alone? Stargrove! Stargrove!
You feel like takin' The world on your shoulders You're just a Robin Hood Makin' good Where you could You're one of the soldiers
Faster than lightning Nothing can strike you You got the good stuff Tough enough Stayin' rough There's no one like you
Who knows what you'll find You might like it, or not But all that you find, boy Is all that you got
(Stargrove!) Flying like you've never flown (Stargrove!) Runnin' through a danger zone (Stargrove!) Are you gonna stand alone? Stargrove! Stargrove!
This should have been released as a single. It should have been #1 on Billboard's charts for months! Absolute perfection.
And Gene L. Simmons should have won the Oscar for best performance in '86. Absolute genius.
I haven't seen this movie in over ten years but it still sticks in my mind. Gene sticking his middle finger on Vanity's chest and maniacally shouting out, "STARGROVE!!!!" The gay dance sequences. The unrequieted love of poor Cliff for his mondo studdly friend and hero, Lance. Gene's performance of "It takes a man like me to be a woman like me" (some of the lyrics of which were so good, incidentally, that Gene recycled and used in the song 'Spit' on the album 'Revenge') This whole movie rocks. I can't believe it is out of print, and I can't believe it isn't available in digital format yet. You can't go wrong with this movie.
