Film Classic Grindhouse: Stunt Rock!

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on Mon, Nov 19 at 9:31 AM

By all accounts the Grindhouse Film Fest at the Hollywood Theater this weekend was a pants-wetting success. But for those who missed it, our good friend Dan from the HT sends us this trailer for the 1978 film STUNT ROCK which made the audience go ba-zonkers! Sez Dan…

Watching it this way doesn’t come close to seeing it on 35mm with a packed house. I had to keep cranking up the audio over the thunderous audience reaction. The movie that it’s for is a big letdown, there’s no way they could live up to what this trailer delivers.

NO WAY INDEED. Get ready for two-and-a-half minutes of some of the most awesome rock (provided by 70’s glam group SORCERY) you’ve ever seen, plus bizarro stunts (including dog attacks) and a completely superfluous wizard. I have no idea what this is about… but I love it!

"like a death wish at 120 decibels"

I don't even know what that means, but I was one of the fools cheering for it. Heh, heh, StuntRock.
