About this product

Product Information

Director Alan Rudolph directed this obscure cult concert comedy while still relatively unknown, and it's quite a rip-roarin' ride for viewers with a fondness for late-1970s nostalgia. Rocker Meat Loaf stars as Travis W. Redfish, a farm boy with a genius for electric engineering that he eventually parlays into the title of World's Greatest Roadie. En route, he falls for groupie Lola Bouilliabase (Kaki Hunter) and helps pursue her dream of meeting rock idol Alice Cooper (playing himself). Their pursuit of Alice leads them on a wild chase across the country, replete with 1970s road movie staples such as barroom brawls, car chases, and burly truckers. Blondie, Roy Orbison, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, and Hank Williams Jr. all make appearances, and Art Carney has a nice bit as Travis's father. There's surprisingly good performances all around, particularly Mr. Loaf's, in his first starring role. Rudolph reveals trademarks of his future films in this early feature--a celebration of American eccentricity and quirk-laden romance, which, along with the plethora of time-capsule perfect music, makes this rockin' cult entertainment.

  • R&R Roadie Film

    Out of all the things involving Meatloaf that I can find from the past(that I can consider even remotely satisfying, as I find the man a bit of a twit),This Film and "Bat out of Hell" are the 2 most enduring. This movie in particular is a hoot, and a great bit of 70s/80s nostalgia. Great appearances by Art Carney, Alice Cooper and More! If you like 70s rock and zany Beer Based humor,then this will be right up your alley. Plenty of surprise cameos as well. Much like Rocky Horror,it's in a class all it's own! Took a while to track this down but once I did I was pleased.
