Campy, cheesy - and totally hilarious! This was KISS in their "Super-KISS" phase and, although musically they were finished being relevant, the movie was a laugh riot! It was worth the price of admission just to hear Ace's "Ack" and laugh, and see Paul and Gene try to be so very serious about their acting (dis)abilities! It's still funny to watch, even today!

Does anybody know how I can contact Gene Simmons? Because I have written a 6 page letter listing all the reasons that KISS needs it's damn movie. This thing is... a golden turd I guess, but the original concept for the movie was a cross between A Hard Day's Night, and Star Wars! How can we F*** up an idea like that today? We have amazing special effects, the loyalty of the entire KISS Army, and the physical need for a GOOD superhero movie besides Batman!!!
Whats not to understand? I don't know if you are old enough to remember, but at the time(1978) Kiss was at its peak and at the height of their popularity, everyone had to jump on the Kiss bandwagon, for example. lunchboxes, posters, comic books, dolls, pinball machines, everyone was trying to "cash in" on kiss fame at that time. It made sense, why not do a movie. I admit, it was a corny movie, but remember, this was the 70's, so anything goes. I still liked it!!
@mgkkelly1983 I, too, LOVE this movie!! The ORIGINAL KISS is my FAVORITE band! I can't tell you how many (other) bands I'd rather ignore in favor of the original KISS!
What a way of meeting people and get to see their talent. At first was reluctant being on youtube, but getting to do this has brought me into the houses of some very special people. You are one of them. Life; isn't it wonderful!
Keep up the good work. Hope You Are Having A Splendid Day!
remember the sunday night this came on like it was yesterday, suffice it to say every kid on the block was in the house by 8 to catch this oscar winner.
@MultiTiger5000 It's... a guilty pleasure. How much you enjoy it is going to depend. Are you a KISS fan? And do you enjoy campy superheroic with stiff dialogue and bad fxs? If so, then this movie will entertain you to no end. It's very much a So Bad It's Good movie.
I used to be obsessed with this film when I was a teenager. What I wouldn't have given for youtube and iPods back then instead of stalking the local music shop who showed this on a tv.
@nightshadow73 Imagine waking up saturday morning, turning on the T.V. for some cartoons, and, finding instead, four individuals in make-up and halloween/mardi-gras-like costumes "trying to stay alive" in an amusement park!
@tawoolley In America, it was on TV. Overseas, it was released theatrically and re-titled Kiss: Attack Of The Phantoms. The international theatrical cut is the one released on the Kissology collection.
The boys made this because Gene, [ for who he is, would sell his own piss if he thought it would turn a buck], obviously wanted to catch some of the Star Wars fever going around.
But with the horribly cheesy effects, cringe-out acting and jumbled story line, the only thing this movie managed to produce was a really severe case of diarhea.
You know, every one [including KISS] bashes this movie for one reason or another. The fact is, for me, I would probably not have become a KISS fan if not for this movie. I was 13 yrs. old and it was the first time that I'd seen KISS. I was blown away. They were superheroes and I was a big comic book, sci fi and horror movie fan, It all just worked for me. I've been a huge KISS fan every since. And, I'll always be one. This movie holds great memories for me. For that I'll always love it.
@regtoyz me too. This blew me away at 7 years old and made me a fan but years later catching it as a re-run made me cringe. This was their then manager's idea Bill Aucoin. The problem is this was produced by Hanna-Barbera and they had no idea what to do with the group and turned this into a live action version of "The Banana Splits". Ace had a black stunt double in white face. WTF? LOL! But I did love it as a kid and that awesome memory is actually better than the movie.
First, I love where you said " That awesome memory is actually better than the movie". You are 100% right. Also, why was a company that made Saturday morning cartoons involved with KISS. Now that I think about it you could replace KISS with the Scooby Doo Gang [without super powers] and have the exact same movie. Hell, it may have been more successful if Hanna-Barbera /KISS and Aucoin had simply done this movie as a cartoon. Imagine the possibilities.
@regtoyz I was 7 years old when this came out and I would have eaten up a KISS Saturday morning cartoon. I don't know why that never happened other than that maybe KISS themselves did not want to go down the kiddie show route. In fact in a documentary on VH1 it said if I remember correctly that KISS was troubled by how young the new fan base was getting at their live shows because they were singing adult oriented songs.
Yeah, I remember them saying that as well. That was then and this is now. We were a part of that young fan base then. Well, look at us now. Still KISS fans. Young fans are not always a bad thing. We do grow-up. And, fortunatey for KISS, a great many of us take them with us on that journey into adulthood. So, again, imagine the possibilities of a KISS [pg13] direct to video movie produced by a major comic book or video game studio. If done right, as KISS fans, we'd eat it up. JUST IMAGINE!
Well KISS' "Music from The Elder" was supposed to follow a sword and sorcery storyline for a rock opera concept album. It could be a CGI animated movie - direct to DVD and a video game or something along those lines.
I think KISS is considering pulling a Menudo where we we will get a next generation of KISS made up of unknowns who write their own new songs as well as sing the classics with Gene and Paul behind the scenes. If you remember, no one knew their real appearance without make up. People forget how big a deal that was - like a super-hero's secret identity. Imagine - if done right - the excitement of wondering who the new KISS was and what they looked like, etc.
THAT WOULD BE SO COOL!!!! Bring back the excitement and magic of what it was like for us as KISS fans. I think that would be a great idea. I can imagine what it would be like and I'd be right there eating it up like a new fan. They'd be the superhero rock warriors that we grew-up with once again. I also like what you said about "Music from the Elder". I personally like that album. It lends itself perfectly to fantasy adventure. It's time for KISS to see what we see.
Ace was kind of pissed off when they made this. He never wanted to byt Simmons/Stanley made him.. Peter didn't even bother to show up to the voiceover/looping sessions.. hahaha!
Actually they ALL hated this movie! I watched an interview on MTV before it went down hill and the interviewer asked Gene 'So Gene, on the topic of Movies,where do you put KISS Meets The Phantom of the Park?' and his reply was 'It's a Video that sits on my shelf of embarrassing things I'll NEVER do again!'
senorp i agree it seems gene and paul said lets squeeze this kiss thing dry before the bottom started falling but the reason why kiss went down was the merchandise no one wanted to respect the heavy music they did anymore because of the destroyer type songs the appealing to young kids and later dynasty and unmasked etc yoo bad they didnt do more songs like aces snowblind
I third that. Fuck $tanley and $immons. Without Ace and Peter, Kiss is a Disney show. I love Kiss, but they're finished now. Finally destroyed by the greed that began consuming them in 1978/79.
@oioirock I agree! In my opinion, KISS WITHOUT Ace and Peter is like someone trying to drive a vehical with two flat tires! In my opinion, Gene and Paul should do a FINAL TOUR WITH Ace and Peter and then "CALL IT QUITS!" In my opinion, Gene and Paul aren't doing the fans any favors by recording and touring with Tommy and Eric!
@villeppi I agree. I was like 7 when this came out and was blown away by how awesome it was and everyone in school played KISS in the school yard the next day. It was like super heroes were now rock stars. Years later I catch it on a re-run as a teenager and was shocked at how bad it was! LOL!
don't blame Ace and Peter! they didn't want to do it and this was the time they both wanted to quit! its not even Peters voice and Ace has a black guy as a fill in for part of the movie! Its ALL Gene Simmons!!!!!! Greedy sob
my sister had this on tape in the mid 80s when i was about 4 or 5 and i must say it had a lot to do with me being a kiss fan. what can i say? i was a little kid
Me too! I used to have all of their original market albums when they were with Casablanca Records. Their albums always came with so many extras like full sized posters, stickers, cool order forms for KISS merchandise!
The 80's this movie was broadcast on TV in 1978, I remember waiting for it to show on ABC right in Oct. 1978. The 70's clothing is still here and I wish it go away, the 80's fashion will come back, please!!!
Not true. Kiss did this BECAUSE they're lame. You Kissarmy fucktards don't even realize how gay you are, because your so fucking dumb, when you wipe your ass you think it's a meal due to it's color. I think the whole lot of you should be culled and gassed into oblivion. Fuck you.
We're the dumb ones? You're the one who is looking up videos of a band you hate so much. Go find something to do with your life other than dissing KISS fans.
Me and about 4 billion other people look up shit like this unintentionally pathetic tripe for laughs. Sue me. Writing that paragraph took me about 2 minutes, I did plenty else with my remaining waking hours. Forgive me if I think hordes of incredibly stupid people in worship make up would be better off at the bottom of the ocean. If you are really 20 years old, I'll bet you got this raped into your system by some dipshit alky uncle. Knock yourself out, 3rd gen moron!
I'm sorry. I really don't care about your opinion on a band I love. I've been a fan for 10 years, and I always will be. Hearing someone say they don't like KISS, or KISS fans really doesn't benefit my life in any way. So please stop showing your lack of intelligence by commenting, when no one cares.
What's really funny is that you're writing LMAO just to get a rise, and replying because I bothered YOU. I'm not LMAO. I'm just shaking my head at your feeble attempt.
ooh you sure told me. you sound like a super villain with the whole 'feeble attempt' thing. I think they're waiting for you to criticize the Monkees movie on another page dude have a nice day! LMFAO
Again, you're not laughing your ass off, so why write it? You can keep showing how mad at me you are by replying further, or you can just leave it. But we both know you won't do that. You're to anxious to write LMFAO again, because you think of yourself as the "in the loop" type.
@conquerlord1 from your comments here and from your youtube profile, you come off like a character in a lame "gen x" movie. you would probably be played by Jason Lee. you call everybody that "sweats" over their YT bio "nobodies" yet you also took the time to create a YT profile. people who really don't care wouldn't bother. you are an attention whore. go back to Starbucks with your wool beenie on (during the summer) and listen to the Meat Puppets or whatever boring crap you like.
And you're some fact fuck on a couch in a flyover state that only gets a couple of visits a decade from your heroes. I don't listen to Meat Puppets, I listen to everything. In fact, Kiss is my second favorite band. Unfortunately for them, my most favorite band is EVERYONE ELSE. People like you should be culled and thrown into a meat grinder, because you have no imagination, that's why you rely on KISS to entertain you, because it's easy to entertain a moron.
@conquerlord1 actually, I'm Los Angeles born and raised. as for Kiss, I could care less if they come to town or not. you, on the other hand, sound like you are obsessed with Kiss! you took the time to seek out and watch them on youtube - and then in a desperate attempt to be "cool" you bash them and their fans. damn that's sad. sad and pathetic. go wash down your prozac with some starbucks, pull your little wool beanie over your eyes and go back to dreaming about a handjob from Curt Cobain
Nope.You're not from LA. And your pop psychology shit you learned from Mommy isn't working. You WANT me to like Nirvana because you're in your comfort zone calling it out. I don't even listen to Nirvana. You're obviously hurt from all those times the hipsters ranked you down(they were right to do so, you're kinda dumb) Try to keep up with current events retard, I believe Kobain has been dead for some time and KISS still plays occasionally, for dumbshits like you.
@conquerlord1 I'm not from Los Angeles? if you say so. I don't WANT you to like ANYTHING. what I want is for you to realize that you are a sad little person that needs to slam others on youtube because is somehow makes you feel like more of a man. you are searching for attention, good or bad, and the only way you can get it is through being an annoyance to others on the internet. perhaps if you tried to cultivate a personality people wouldn't consider you a waste of air.
Oh shit!Like you're trying to pretend you're from LA? That's an olllllld YT scam.We can tell when you're trying too hard. That's what you're doing. Go ahead, lie. If you were from LA, you wouldn't even reply. you'd just abstain in shame, like a good moron. Instead you shout from Nebraska like a good little Okie. Just shut up and let nature take it's course. You're abunch of cunts, and you know it. Don't pretend to be anything else. You're an ass. At least take ownership.
@conquerlord1 wow, you are really getting desperate now and it shows! you really have nothing to say so you lash out. its pathetic. the truth is, everything that I have said about you is correct and it KILLS you. you are a sad, pathetic, little boy who didn't get enough attention from mommy and daddy, so now you try to get it by flamming people on youtube. it must suck being such an easy read.
and why would anybody lie about being from Los Angeles? its nothing special.
@conquerlord1 dude your such a fag, look at what your actually saying you sound like a freaking retard, if you hate kiss so much then why did you look for this video?? and if you dont listen to who you claim then how do you possably know about them? and since when is it your place to decide where people are from and why dose it even matter? judging by your poor knoledge id expect your in 7th grade, you think you know everything, go kill yourself, i bet your mom and 7th grade class will be happy
you unintentionally look for pathetic tripe for laughs? with a name like conquerlord, you should be intentially looking for a girlfriend,,,,if you never got KISS,,you never will,,,
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yeah. I should be looking for a girlfriend, while you're replying to a 6 month old post. I think you're the one who can't get any because you paint your face like a good sheep.There's nothing to "get" with kiss. Thinking that they're that deep shows your IQ level. Another dumbshit entranced by meaningless pyrotechnics. Hey, come up with another irrelevant dig at my manhood. It will make you feel better about yours, which is wanting.
I know its corny but kiss is still the best band alive and that will never change

Imagine - if done right - the excitement of wondering who the new KISS was and what they looked like, etc.

THAT WOULD BE SO COOL!!!! Bring back the excitement and magic of what it was like for us as KISS fans. I think that would be a great idea. I can imagine what it would be like and I'd be right there eating it up like a new fan. They'd be the superhero rock warriors that we grew-up with once again. I also like what you said about "Music from the Elder". I personally like that album. It lends itself perfectly to fantasy adventure. It's time for KISS to see what we see.

Ace was kind of pissed off when they made this. He never wanted to byt Simmons/Stanley made him.. Peter didn't even bother to show up to the voiceover/looping sessions.. hahaha!

Actually they ALL hated this movie! I watched an interview on MTV before it went down hill and the interviewer asked Gene 'So Gene, on the topic of Movies,where do you put KISS Meets The Phantom of the Park?' and his reply was 'It's a Video that sits on my shelf of embarrassing things I'll NEVER do again!'

senorp i agree it seems gene and paul said lets squeeze this kiss thing dry before the bottom started falling but the reason why kiss went down was the merchandise no one wanted to respect the heavy music they did anymore because of the destroyer type songs the appealing to young kids and later dynasty and unmasked etc yoo bad they didnt do more songs like aces snowblind

Exactly!! I would rep this post 100 times if i could. Fuck Gene and Paul.

I third that. Fuck $tanley and $immons. Without Ace and Peter, Kiss is a Disney show. I love Kiss, but they're finished now. Finally destroyed by the greed that began consuming them in 1978/79.

ustolminame 1 year ago
@oioirock I agree! In my opinion, KISS WITHOUT Ace and Peter is like someone trying to drive a vehical with two flat tires! In my opinion, Gene and Paul should do a FINAL TOUR WITH Ace and Peter and then "CALL IT QUITS!" In my opinion, Gene and Paul aren't doing the fans any favors by recording and touring with Tommy and Eric!

@villeppi I agree. I was like 7 when this came out and was blown away by how awesome it was and everyone in school played KISS in the school yard the next day. It was like super heroes were now rock stars. Years later I catch it on a re-run as a teenager and was shocked at how bad it was! LOL!

I'm sorry. I really don't care about your opinion on a band I love. I've been a fan for 10 years, and I always will be.

Again, you're not laughing your ass off, so why write it? You can keep showing how mad at me you are by replying further, or you can just leave it. But we both know you won't do that. You're to anxious to write LMFAO again, because you think of yourself as the "in the loop" type.

@conquerlord1 from your comments here and from your youtube profile, you come off like a character in a lame "gen x" movie. you would probably be played by Jason Lee. you call everybody that "sweats" over their YT bio "nobodies" yet you also took the time to create a YT profile. people who really don't care wouldn't bother. you are an attention whore. go back to Starbucks with your wool beenie on (during the summer) and listen to the Meat Puppets or whatever boring crap you like.
Plasticsoul 1 year ago
And you're some fact fuck on a couch in a flyover state that only gets a couple of visits a decade from your heroes. I don't listen to Meat Puppets, I listen to everything. In fact, Kiss is my second favorite band. Unfortunately for them, my most favorite band is EVERYONE ELSE. People like you should be culled and thrown into a meat grinder, because you have no imagination, that's why you rely on KISS to entertain you, because it's easy to entertain a moron.
conquerlord1 1 year ago
@conquerlord1 actually, I'm Los Angeles born and raised. as for Kiss, I could care less if they come to town or not. you, on the other hand, sound like you are obsessed with Kiss! you took the time to seek out and watch them on youtube - and then in a desperate attempt to be "cool" you bash them and their fans. damn that's sad. sad and pathetic. go wash down your prozac with some starbucks, pull your little wool beanie over your eyes and go back to dreaming about a handjob from Curt Cobain
Plasticsoul 1 year ago
Nope.You're not from LA. And your pop psychology shit you learned from Mommy isn't working. You WANT me to like Nirvana because you're in your comfort zone calling it out. I don't even listen to Nirvana. You're obviously hurt from all those times the hipsters ranked you down(they were right to do so, you're kinda dumb) Try to keep up with current events retard, I believe Kobain has been dead for some time and KISS still plays occasionally, for dumbshits like you.
conquerlord1 1 year ago
@conquerlord1 I'm not from Los Angeles? if you say so. I don't WANT you to like ANYTHING. what I want is for you to realize that you are a sad little person that needs to slam others on youtube because is somehow makes you feel like more of a man. you are searching for attention, good or bad, and the only way you can get it is through being an annoyance to others on the internet. perhaps if you tried to cultivate a personality people wouldn't consider you a waste of air.
Plasticsoul 1 year ago
Oh shit!Like you're trying to pretend you're from LA? That's an olllllld YT scam.We can tell when you're trying too hard. That's what you're doing. Go ahead, lie. If you were from LA, you wouldn't even reply. you'd just abstain in shame, like a good moron. Instead you shout from Nebraska like a good little Okie. Just shut up and let nature take it's course. You're abunch of cunts, and you know it. Don't pretend to be anything else. You're an ass. At least take ownership.
conquerlord1 1 year ago
@conquerlord1 wow, you are really getting desperate now and it shows! you really have nothing to say so you lash out. its pathetic. the truth is, everything that I have said about you is correct and it KILLS you. you are a sad, pathetic, little boy who didn't get enough attention from mommy and daddy, so now you try to get it by flamming people on youtube. it must suck being such an easy read.
and why would anybody lie about being from Los Angeles? its nothing special.
Plasticsoul 1 year ago 2
@conquerlord1 dude your such a fag, look at what your actually saying you sound like a freaking retard, if you hate kiss so much then why did you look for this video?? and if you dont listen to who you claim then how do you possably know about them? and since when is it your place to decide where people are from and why dose it even matter? judging by your poor knoledge id expect your in 7th grade, you think you know everything, go kill yourself, i bet your mom and 7th grade class will be happy

yeah. I should be looking for a girlfriend, while you're replying to a 6 month old post. I think you're the one who can't get any because you paint your face like a good sheep.There's nothing to "get" with kiss. Thinking that they're that deep shows your IQ level. Another dumbshit entranced by meaningless pyrotechnics. Hey, come up with another irrelevant dig at my manhood. It will make you feel better about yours, which is wanting.
