Rock and Rule Ending

[yamiookamibrittany]

red heads, hell yea :)

[airmaster123]

@yamiookamibrittany hell no im sorry but all red heads i know are all pricks

[MrNadaname]

@airmaster123 Red heads aren't "hell yeah" or "hell no", they're just like the rest of the humanity, some cool, some not..

[yamiookamibrittany]

@airmaster123 aww I'm sorry :( Not all red heads are like that, I promise

[Johnlindsey289]

Awesome movie, i remembered when i was 12 18 years ago thanks to reading my city's local TV guide to see what will come on friday/saturday nights and knew i had to watch this on a friday night, loved it. I also loved and watched Heavy Metal, Vampire Hunter D, Robot Carnival and American Pop, they ruled my world. I even made taped uncensored copies of VHD, this movie and RC on video when i was 13, bought HM when i was 15 and AP when i was 17. Who remembers those?

[gachoobieka]

Does anyone know what Mok is shouting right before Toad creeps up behind him?

[DementedDimension12]

@gachoobieka "HAIL BEELZEBUB! HAIL SATAN!! HAIL BEELZEBUB!" But it seems that this clip is the cleaned up version that was probably released in America. Now the words have been garbled to protect the sensitivities of the wussy-brained and braun-tongued.

[LonerGalore]

@DementedDimension12 No.. this is the Canadian one. The original. The echo when she sings is only in the Canadian.

[Johnlindsey289]

@DementedDimension12

It's similar to what happened with Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind when it came out in the US from New World Pictures in 1985 under the title Warriors of the Wind, they changed the story to americanized it including the names of the characters and heavily cut it from 117 minutes to 86 minutes.

[NYG4LIFE123]

I so want Nostalgia Critic to review this movie. 

[crazyman8472]

Love how Mylar gets his 2 cents in at the end. ;) Overall, totally awesome.

[SamusDrake]

I hope they put this on DVD again, as I wished I had got it on the first release.

Friggin awesome movie!

[crazyman8472]

@SamusDrake You can find the DVD on eBay, and it's not too expensive. ;)

[Scoonertuna]

On September 28, 2010, a Blu-Ray version of Rock & Rule will be released by Unearthed through their new distributor, Breaking Glass Pictures

[CriticCafeteria]

there is no ONE, but two. one song, one heart.

[narukofan2]

This movie kicks ass. It sucks that this movie flopped at the box office, sadly most people don't know a really good movie even if it bit them in the ass.

Rock And Rule Forever

[eddystone333]

@narukofan2 Blame the management at MGM. They took over at United Artists, the original distributor, and proceeded to make ridiculous demands (re-dubbing, story changes), then lose interest in the project altogether.

If it had been released properly, I'm sure it could have found an audience. The fact that anyone cares about it almost 30 years after it was made testifies to its quality.

[Scoonertuna]

@eddystone333 There are some fans there who pay homage to this film in other works. Did you know the Nelvaans in Star Wars: Clone Wars, the 2003 series, were based off of Angel and Omar?

[eddystone333]

@Scoonertuna I had heard about that. More importantly Nelvana, the animation company, went onto bigger things and is still around today.

[Scoonertuna]

@narukofan2 This movie deserves a remake. I thought it was awesome! It's like Don Blueth meets Ralph Bakashi.

[eddystone333]

@Scoonertuna The comparison to Bluth is appropriate, as it was made around the same time as 'The Secret of NIMH'. Ironically, it also premiered the same year as Ralph Bakshi's last notable picture, 'Fire and Ice'. In a way, it does serve as a bridge between the Adult Cartoons of the '70s and the Animation Renaissance in the '80s.

[Scoonertuna]

@eddystone333 I miss Don Bluth films. The Land Before Time, An American Tale, and All Dogs Go To Heaven were some of my favorite childhood films.

[willow368]

in a weird way i have this awfully annoying crush on Omar. HHEELLPP!!

[BardandQueen]

i love how they added the devil and daniel mouse on the second dvd of this two dvd set i squealed lol great movie and excellent surprise!

[EmperorofCartoons]

@BardandQueen Yeah that movie pretty much inspired this one.

[KristinVincent]

Once I hear this song, it stays in my head for DAYS... I freaking LOVE it.

[borsdy]

smeared cow brains

[ShellyBelly123456789]

I watch this film every week. I just don't understand how the hell it flopped.

[kiaralime]

Gawd I would have killed to get this as a soundtrack

[bazzjedimaster]

for those who feel bad about the dead of Zip, in the Canadian extended version he appears alive during the ending meaning that he actually survived, MGM edited probably so the movie looked more serious 

[NicoleRag]

Thats beautiful...

[ElleRoni]

fffffffuck yessssss

[MWolfL]

I really like Dizzy, he's a great friend. :)

[TrickyTolles64]

Debbie Harry & Robin Zander!! What a duet....incredible~!

[drunkenmasterPhillip]

i wish i can get this for my ipod

[junque21]

Cheap Trick and Blondie are playing the IL state fair together... no chance of it happening, but how cool would this duet be??

i wish they would have done this in the studio...

[JMFabianoRPL]

@junque21 If anyone going to this show is reading this, at an opportune moment, you MUST call out requesting Send Love Through or just reference R&R. I'd love to see how they'd react.

[JMFabianoRPL]

I LOVE Mok's fit when he sees his plans go down the toilet.

[darkartiste78]

yes yes! Thank you for sharing this! Gotta get the DVD re-release of this!

[CarlosCnote]

i loved watching this with my grandma as a kid

[pandemicmonster]

the harmony in this song is AMAZING.

[darkartiste78]

Wow. Seeing this again always gives me goosebumps. So glad they re-released this on DVD a few years ago.

[ANorthernSong]

The forces of Evil, again defeated by the awesome power of... DUETS!!!

[CCRockit]

@ANorthernSong

and the power of music!........

BEWARE of CORNEYNESS

[mestgcspparka7x]

they should make this a live action movie

[Shindai]

That would either seriously rule, or really suck :S Can't be any worse than what's coming out these days though so I say yes, they should :)

What's this song called?

[mestgcspparka7x]

blondie kind of redid it. it think it's called, "maybe for sure"

[truearea53]

I kindof like the song that Angel and uh whatever that guys name is singing.

[KittyKatt382]

You know, my boyfriend bought this movie and introduced it to me...I love it. Even though the animation is old, the old ones are the best. I love the small lovey stuff the movie has ^__^

Mok Is like..Iggy pop and David bowies love child...XD

[talamarthraydin]

I would Kill to have this Duet in good quality.. too bad never was a sound track =(

[jamesonredbreast]

I've got an ok quality mp3 of it.

[talamarthraydin]

well Debbie Harry redid her version of it.. It's Called Maybe just Be sure.. is good just wish this one had been redone.. This was amazing considering neither of them Cheap trick or debbie harry had heard the other persons half of the song.. came out amazing...

[anime0illusion]

SEND ME????? PLEASE i've been searching for too long

[draggardevir]

@talamarthraydin There is a good audio version.

[talamarthraydin]

@draggardevir Where? they never released a ST for this movie =(

[draggardevir]

@talamarthraydin Some of the songs were released. Born to Raise Hell (the first song the band played) was an actual Cheap Trick song from the album "Sex, America". I've found what sounds like a studio recording of "Ohm Sweet Ohm" (Robin Zander, Cheap Trick, or Ohmar and the Daycares). The other songs I've been able to find with some creative Googling - most are from the movie but some are pretty good quality. Hopefully with the BR version there will be demand for the soundtrack. :)

[talamarthraydin]

@draggardevir Yea I Know alot of the songs are on each groups album.. and Blondie even redid Angels song calling it Maybe Just for sure. but I would love to get the Duet with Debbie Harry and Cheap Trick.. and is so hard to find a good one =(.. And I agree with ya they should have made a Soundtrack!

[MistressVixen]

I FUCKING LOVE this movie... I have a burned copy... D:

[snaplesugar]

How come no one ever knows this movie! They're missing out!

[jinxiejae]

god i want the soundtrack to this!!!!! any one know where i can score?

[NymphetamineOrchid]

This is great, but the characters remind me of Goof Troop rejects lol! Interesting note from Wikipedia "According to the commentary on the DVD release, the effects for the demon in the movie's final sequence were produced by smearing cow brains over one plane of a multiplane camera." Much like the cover art for Metalica's "Load" and "Reload"

[catband]

Rock & Rule was probably the best 80's animation film.I still prefer it over Heavy Metal any day of the week,to bad it got such poor rating's ;(

[rpsanders26]

WAY better than Heavy Metal.

[SatansMullet]

@rpsanders26 Fuck you dude, Heavy Metal was my CHILDHOOD! lol.. i mean i love this movie too but the music isnt even a quarter as good as Heavy Metal! still, this movie is WAY worth buying on blue ray if some stupid corporate douches figures out people WANT to buy it on BR.. cant we all just enjoy what we enjoy without putting other masterpieces down?

[TheAltair4]

@SatansMullet You tell him dude! Even though Rock'n'Rule is totally kickass and was just as much a part of my own childhood as Heavy Metal was, i still think that Heavy Metal is a superior film in many ways.

[meeces13]

@rpsanders26 NOT even WORTH comparing. theyre as good as they are different than each other. dont be a knob

[Johnlindsey289]

@rpsanders26

I thought both were cool. Did you ever see this movie with HM on TBS back in the early 90's with Vampire Hunter D, American Pop and Robot Carnival? i did when i was 12 17 years ago.

[mpolobehr]

"If I can sing it up, I can sing it back" I think is the quote. Awesome movie, I have it on VHS tape somewhere. I love this last song. Thanks for posting this.

[Ataru2407]

what's the song ?

I love this movie, i saw it when i was a kid and i still like it =D

[barcode2bones]

its called send love through

[charleskusiak12]

Hard to believe that this was from the SAME company that did a chop-job on Capdcaptor Sakura in the 1990s.

[TheBerzerker1]

Oh man so many memories when I watch this, I think the first time I've watched this was when I was either still in Elementary or Starting off in Middle School. I'm gonna have to go on a hunt for it tomorrow and hope I can find the DVD if not, then I'll look online.

[princesspowerful]

They have it on DVD! I rented it from Hollywood Video! Unfortunately I can't find the soundtrack. :( I'm sure a couple of weird record stores have it on 8 track or something.

[MrTantraMan]

This movie made the Canadian animation industry in a boom for many many years. This is one of the best movies I have ever seen to this day and still captivates me to this day.

This ending only proves that evil can loose its fgrip and good will come out kicking its ass royally.

[MaoriMufasa]

God this movie is insanely awesome. I <3 the fuckin ending man, shivers down my spine. Memories are great. I might go watch it if I can't find the old video tape. Lol.

[BirkirFMC]

it's a re-dub??

fuck!

[BigOldJimmy]

Geez, I hate the American re-dub. Gotta find the original Canadian version where Omar doesn't sound like Curly from the 3 Stooges.

[bellagunn]

they released the original dub in the special edition boxed set so you can get it but is copied off a vhs copy the master reels were destroyed in a fire, the quality is passable but not great, unfortunately, I like the original dub for omar much better, at least shell out a little xtra for the special adition it's got a suprising amount of documentary and production footage

[abaddon40k]

I freakin love this movie! Brings back some asome mems. cant wait to buy this weekend!

[Silverwaterlady]

This is such a wonderful song, I wish i could get just the song (and it was a little longer :D)

[SmileOnADog]

I haven't seen this in like 20 years. Does anyone know if you can get it on DVD?

[Silverwaterlady]

Yes you can get it on DVD now but I dont know anymore than that.

[TempleOfSin]

Witness the beginning of teh furries.

[jebes909090]

I fucking love this ending. The idea that the singing was so powerful it sent the demon back was so fucking cool when i was a kid......plus the girl was hot ;)

[nakedchucho]

you too huh? lol,

[mari12rock]

I remember taping it when it came to one of those movie channels way back when. My brother and I watched over and over until the tape got totally worn out. A true cult classic icon. Thanks for the best part! I have got to get this DVD.

[JackDaddyMLKS67104]

Awesome . I love this stuff. When I was at collage I had a lil' punk band called The 781s (187 in reverse califas police code for 'murder'") We used to cover Angle's Song as well as My Name Is Mok. Our guitarist was a chick so she and I did Angle's Song as a duet. I always had to shout "hit it" instead of "girls" before the chorous on My Name Is Mok because the band was mostly guys and "girls" just didnt fit.

[JackDaddyMLKS67104]

Angel's*

[DonnaPoe]

ohhhhhh God! Just awesome Zander and Blondie

[chuuzetsu]

Brings me to tears everytime.

[mattjasy]

debbie harry!!

[destinoproductions]

one of the greatest movies ever. i used to watch it as a child. what great nostalgia.

[JackDaddyMLKS67104]

Hell yeah dude. Back in those days there were alot of PG movies that really kicked ass. Nowadays even the "gritty" R rated stuff is unimaginitive fluff.

[MissRabie]

It's nice because at that time there weren't specific "adult' or "pg" movies. Sure this stuff was moralizing at times, but it had darker themes, too; it was real.

[X56dcapinebox56X]

na im america it got a PG rating at least thats what it was when it came on HBO or Showtime.

[emogarg]

Ahh I love that movie. ^_^

[ChibiSailorUsagi]

This is AWESOME! :D Thanks for posting it.

[PotrancaFina]

It's Debbie Harry AND Robin Zander (of Cheap Trick)

[nightraven]

Mog is stuped he couldnt figure it out that a Dule song could send it back

[peposo7]

Yeah, that's Blondie...

[Malada3232322]

I DID IT FOR UNCLE MIKEY!!!!

[khatmandont]

oh man love movies where they fight with music

"must...rock...HARDER!!"

[Scarrrlett]

im buying it on dvd im really kinda excited

[zipdownhs]

oh man i love this movie i wasnt to ask can you up the part where she conjures up the demon that part is my favorite.

[shatteredeve]

I just put that up.

[antimuppet]

Cerbulon - it's available on DVD now - and the cut is in fantastic shape.

[cerebulon]

I didn't know!  Thank you!

[cerebulon]

I had this entire movie... and my sister taped dirty dancing over it. Grrrr....Aargh.

[noqa]

Yeah, that's the worst thing to happen to any of us guys. Good thing it's out on DVD now, so all is well.

[YingDarkness]

awesome!!!! Do you think its possible to post the entire movie. I've always wanted to see this!
