WTF Films: Rock n Roll Crazy Night

with 50 comments

 wtf films logo

Years ago, in a time known as “The 80s”, humanity was enlightened and entertained by a new subgenre of film. These Canadian cinematic offerings were set apart by their heavy-handed moralistic tone, actors who had no business acting, directors who had no business directing, epic heavy metal soundtracks and, usually, John Mikl Thor.

Now, to carry on the lineage of Rock ‘n’ Roll Nightmare, Shock ‘Em Dead, and Black Roses, comes Michael Keeves’ and Josh Clark’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Crazy Night - an 80s-centric short about evil rocker Cain, whose nefarious plan is to brainwash the town of Rock Haven’s youths into becoming his long-haired, sleeveless t-shirt-wearing minions. It is up to a group of high-school friends and their wise public school-employed janitor to stop the evil plot.

Will the ragtag team be able to defeat the powers of darkness and high-gain guitar amplification? Will you be man (or woman) enough to withstand the righteous heavy metal soundtrack from slapstick rockers The Skate Party and Metal Blade recording artists Destroy Destroy Destroy (who appear in the film as Cain’s band)? The only way to find out is to watch. (Better get an extra shirt, just in case your sleeves don’t make it through.)

 

Wondering what inspired the wacky title? Watch the following…and wonder no more! \m/

  1. OMG Soy! You finally worked Loudness (pronounced Roudness, fyi) into a post!

  2. I learned two very important lessons:

    1. Don’t trust people who wear underwear.

    2. You can do anything as long as you have the rock in you.

  3. Just goes to show that not everyone can be David Cronenberg or Bob Clark or Alan Thicke.

    And in Alan Thicke’s case, that’s a good thing.

  4. “Ripped Apart by the Juggernaut of Fornication.” Now there’s a turn of phrase, eh?

  5. Ripped Apart by the Juggernaut of Fornication
    by Destroy Destroy Destroy
    lyrics:

    Feel the hands of a monster wrap around
    your skin, rib cage, and chest cavity. Will
    lay on the ground as your innards spread
    the word of a lifeless hole you were spawned out of.

    Ripped appart by the juggernaut of fornication
    Your flesh will tear

    Fell the cold moisture under his fingernails.
    Will scratch away your scalp. As he grips
    around the back of your neck and rips out
    you spin from the tailbone to the skull

    Ripped apart by the juggernaut of fornication
    Your flesh will tear

  6. Who needs hairy Rockstars when you got ultra-sexy Real Life Superheroes like me and Terrifica? Grow up, Rationers. Duran Duran, Madonna and Cinderella are done. Let those silly worn out posters drop from your walls. (wink).

  7. That was the stupidest gathering of more than two people that I have ever seen.

  8. Soy likes these guys. He’s posted their films before.

    I know it’s supposed to be campy, but bad acting (even intentional bad acting) makes me uncomfortable.

  9. @ Entomo: Who’s to say you can’t appreciate real life heroes and have musical tastes?

    @ Micky: Do I go down to where you work and knock the shrimp deveiner out of your hands?

    @ FFE: There’s no more room for more than one David Cronenberg. Believe it or not, that band and song are real!!

    @ Bagel: You should really watch it again…

  10. Hey, dont anyone get upset !
    I watched the whole thing.
    So Soy, if you didnt like the shrimp, how come you ate it all ?

  11. Ha! This is great. We had a hell of a lot of fun making the movie… so it’s nice to see it getting any sort of reaction.

    Hit me up if you want a copy. We even added commentary and deleted goodies.

    Thanks so much, Soylent Ape. You rock.

  12. Kind of gives one a ‘Rush,’ eh?

  13. @ Micky: Nobody’s getting upset, here! I’m just a joker. Hey, we all have out own tastes…and that’s fine by me. I don’t eat shrimp, or crab, or lobster. I know, it’s my loss.

    @ FFE: Yes, it’s a real “Triumph”!

    @ Josh: I’d love to have a copy wi/ commentary, etc… Being a fan of those early movies, I totally dug the film, plus, I’m a big Destroy Destroy Destroy fan. The Skate Party songs were great, too! I’ll catch you on MySpace.

    P.S: Don’t pay attention to Bagel. To give you an idea of how skewed her sense of comedy is, she thinks Seinfeld and The (British) Office are the most annoying sitcoms ever made.

  14. After that miracle of life posting a while back, I probably wouldn’t eat lobster either . . . .

  15. Micky: We’re simple country folks, and were taught to not waste food… and our definition of ‘food’ is very broad.

    Josh: Soy does rock. That’s why bitches love him.

    Soy, you eat crab rangoon.

    FFE: Sometimes I make it with real crab, but don’t tell Soy.

  16. @ Bagel: Chinese restaurants don’t use real crab in their rangoon. Otherwise, you’d have to pay extra for them.

  17. Yea, they use that articial imitation crab flavored stringy shit with the pink dye.
    All you need is a bucket of crab juice and you can make a condo taste like crab

  18. I find it fucking hilarious when they call it “genuine imitation crab meat”. It strikes me as a tad bit Orwellian.

  20. I meant the homemade kind, silly boys.
    I make badass crab rangoon.

  21. Wow! I am truly honored that you would cover our ridiculous little movie. Thank you, Soylent Ape!

    And yes, this could possibly be the most idiotic gathering of more than two people ever, but keep in mind that Adam Sandler has made multiple movies.

  22. P.S. Did anyone ever figure out what “M-Z-A” means in the “Crazy Night” video? I mean, I took a little Japanese in college and I’m completely baffled.

  25. Japanese people are weird Shorty. In Hawaii they come here on vacation and take pictures of fire hydrants and wear T shirts bought in japan that say the stupidest shit ,as long as its in English it doesnt matter.

    ” Car and Donkey !”

    “Drink Soda”

    MZA is probably ” My zit acne”

  26. Actually, micky, it’s probably more along the lines of Masturbate. Zebras, Alright!

  28. It’s always been amusing to see Japanese tourists taking pictures of weird shit. I guess they immediately recognize these things as being somewhat different. For instance, when they see our vending machines, they probably think, “Where are the ones for beer and used panties?”. When they see one of our uniformed police officers, they think, “Wow! That fucker could shoot me dead!” If you’re really lucky, you might come across a Nipponese tourist trying to convince a cop to show off his sidearm–like it’s the most natural and least life-threatening thing they could do.

    Minoru Niihara (Loudness’ Vocalist) once said that M-Z-A had no particular significance, it just fit nicely after the chorus and sounded “tough”.

  32. Ha ha!!! Where do I get one of these “Car and donkey!” t-shirts? (though that sounds like something you could see live down in Tijuana)

    The Kraken

  33. Kraken,
    You could probably find one in Japan. In the 80s when Japanese tourism took of here in Hawaii they were coming over in herds. And all there T shirts had to say something english on them. But they could never get it right. I believe they were under the assunption that Americans could say anything and make it cool. But they didnt quite have the low down on our culture and the subtle intricasies we use in our language.
    As a result the Tshirts were the dumbest ones I’ve ever seen.
    “Hot Chick !” would instead be ” Chick Hot !”
    They fucked up every American slang or metaphor they touched.
    Its like they just went through the dictionary and pulled any two or three words and put them on a shirt.
    I had a shirt that said ” Fuck you , you fuckin fuck !”
    Some Japanese tourist asked me where I got it. I sold it to him right there on the spot just so I could watch him walk down the street in it. He was happier than a pig in shit.

  35. Or you could fire up MS Paint and make your own with CafePress.com

  36. Yeah, there are entire websites devoted to the engrish. Funny shit, really it is.

    keywork.

  37. In the big Pan-Asian supermarket where we live, they stock a Japanese soft drink called “My Sweat“! I haven’t really had the desire to try it yet.

    Soylent Ape

    21 Feb 08 at 1:16 am

  38. Can you read the ingrediants ?
    It might be some famous Japanese chicks sweat.
    It might be meant to say “My sweet”

    I’ve seen Saimin packages that say” Will make a happy feeling in your mouth”

    21 Feb 08 at 1:21 am

  39. You live in an ethnic supermarket?

  40. What can I say…Times are hard.

    24 Feb 08 at 11:37 pm

  41. @ MIckey: Yeah, it is a Japanese product isn’t it? I’m wondering which celebrity’s sweat is in the formula. Maybe it’s wrung from the used panties they seem to sell all over Japan.

    Soylent Ape

    24 Feb 08 at 11:40 pm

  42. No way dude.
    Used dirty panties ? Are they selling them at sex shops or dollar stores, or yen, fuck, whatever.

    micky2

    25 Feb 08 at 11:15 am

  43. Micky: They do, seriously. In vending machines.

    Here lookie: http://i31.tinypic.com/122g204.jpg

  44. Used panties are largely seen as an everyday commodity, just like mens’ magazines, cigarettes and beer.

    25 Feb 08 at 8:49 pm

  45. They sell beer on the street in vending machines as well, don’t they?

    There should be a machine that sells all 3. Oh hell, there prolly is. Those crazy japanese!

  46. hey !
    Does America still sell that soda called “Squirt ?”
    Ya gotta wonder.

    micky2

    25 Feb 08 at 10:00 pm

  47. Theres a dairy farm in Norwalk L.A. that sells buds for 50 cents.
    That was a while back. But whenever the DTs started kicking in I knew where I could get a beer. I used to sit in front of a thousand cows and get straight at 3 in the morning.

    micky2

    25 Feb 08 at 10:03 pm

  48. When I first visited North Carolina, and saw the vending machines for a local cherry flavor soda called Cheerwine, I thought ‘damn, they sell wine on the street?’

  49. I’m sorry, the dairy farm buds were sold out of a soda machine. I guess if I said that earlier it would of helped.
    Yea Bagel, I bought some Near Beer when I was a kid. Thought I was getting real lucky. My dad even asked me later that day why I smelled like beer. I was scared shitless cuz I thought I’d been drinking real beer.
    Next time I drank some beer it was real beer. Since the Near Beer never did nothing to me I figured Beer was no big deal I drank a whole six pack in like 1/2 an hour and got plowed off my ass. Had to sit in a drainage ditch for a few hours till I could even come out.

    25 Feb 08 at 11:41 pm

  50. Yeah, they sell beer from vending machines on the street in Japan. For that matter, from vending machines in many European countries like Germany, Spain and Belgium. They’re a little more discriminate about where they place them than the Japanese, though: usually around nightclubs and such. In Japan, they have beer vendors everywhere: train stations, airports, supermarkets, parking buildings, etc…

    Youtube don’t have no videos of them there Japanese used panty machines, but it does have this nifty video of a used panty boutique in Osaka.
