Heavy Metal (1981)

Heavy Metal is George Lucas meets Frank Frazzetta to a Sammy Hagar soundtrack. Amazing animation, script, and action across six linked storylines. Seminal stuff! I first saw it in the movie gallery at a sci-fi convention 25 years ago. From the opening scenes of an astronaut riding a car through reentry to the Earth's surface to the end, this is pure '70s animated sci-fi enjoyment. Voice talent includes John Candy and Eugene Levy. Only Titan AE and Animatrix are better. Advisory: Decapitation and other gruesome deaths, curvaceous female anatomy, nudity, and some sex. 4 stars.
