Heavy Metal	comment	If you were looking for the music genre, go to Heavy Metal.The 1981 Canadian-animated film anthology of stories from the magazine of the same name. Laden with sex, violence, profanity, decent animation, and a rippin' soundtrack.The framing story for each short concerns the Loc-Nar (Percy Rodriguez), "the sum of all evil," a sentient, floating green orb that kills people by painfully melting them into goo or turning them into monsters (and a plot device that figures into each short), showing a young girl (Caroline Semple) its influence across space and time (after killing her astronaut father (Don Francks), who had just brought it back to Earth, de-orbiting in a classic Corvette convertible). Harry Canyon (Richard Romanus), a New York taxi driver in the distant future, gets caught up in a fight between a gang and an archaeologist's daughter over the Loc-Nar. She screws him more than once. Den, originally a skinny, nerdy kid named Dan (voiced by John Candy), gets sucked into Neverwhere, becomes a bald, naked, musclebound hunk (still voiced by John Candy) that every woman in the story (equally naked and buxom) apparently throws herself at, and finds himself in the middle of a deadly rivalry between an evil queen and an unkillable dandy to save the girl he encountered upon arrival. One of the better received stories, thanks in part to Candy's narration giving the macho fantasy a refreshingly lighthearted humourous touch that takes away none of the eroticism. Due to the fairly consistent female nudity, this segment is generally excised from TV prints of the movie altogether. (Incidentally, this is one of the few segments of the movie to have no songs—Elmer Bernstein's score is front and centre here.) Is also the Trope Namer for Normally, I Would Be Dead Now, spoken by Den while swimming a LONG way underwater). Captain Sternn (Eugene Levy), on trial for multiple crimes (including a moving violation), gets more than he bargained for when Hanover Fiste (Rodger Bumpass), the man he paid to act as his character witness, goes berserk under the Loc-Nar's influence. B-17 tells the story of a WWII bomber, whose crew after sustaining heavy losses during a night raid, encounter the Loc-Nar and are transformed into fearsome, undead creatures. The scariest part of the film. Among critics of the movie, also regarded as the strongest segment, and rarely spoken of in anything but a positive light. So Beautiful, So Dangerous: Aliens abduct a buxom Pentagon secretary, and the robot leader takes a shine to her. The pilots ingest a massive amount of plutonium nyborg and fly home utterly stoned, while the robot gets into the secretary's knickers. The Breather Episode after B-17, and seems to be playing things for laughs. Taarna, the last Taarakian, is called to defend a peaceful civilization from Loc-Nar-mutated barbarians. She arrives too late, and she turns to vengeance to fulfill her pact.At the climax, Taarna's defeat of the Loc-Nar echoes, and the orb menacing the girl is destroyed. A purple bird of the same kind that Taarna flew arrives at her side, and she flies off, her hair turning white and the Taarakian crest appearing on her neck.Once noted for Keep Circulating the Tapes because music rights kept it from being released on home video. Bootleg tapes of it would routinely turn up, some taped off airings on pay cable channels. Now legally available as well.The film is adapted from a number of stories in the Heavy Metal magazine, an American version of the French comic MÃ©tal Hurlant founded by MÅ“bius and Philippe Druillet. A number of other adaptations have also been made, including the film Heavy Metal 2000 and the Third-Person Shooter Heavy Metal F.A.K.K.Â² (which was based upon Heavy Metal 2000). Somewhat strangely, the film Heavy Metal 2000 is also sometimes seen under the title Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K.2. Another adaptation is the TV series Metal Hurlant Chronicles, as was Love, Death & Robots during its origins.Plans for a new version of the film began to take shape in 2008, with lots of big names floated around to direct segments. However, the project fell into Development Hell, since nobody was interested in investing in it. However, in August 2011, Robert Rodriguez acquired the rights for a Heavy Metal movie and started the project over from scratch at his newly created company, Quick Draw Studios. This, too, would fall to the wayside as Rodriguez began focusing more on his own television channel.In 2018-19, Heavy Metal publishing released a four-issue Taarna comic-book scripted by Alex de Campi, with art by Esau and Isaac Escorza. More comics starring Taarna by other writers and artists continued to follow.At the 2022 San Diego Comic-Con, the Heavy Metal publications unveiled the creation of their own production company, with plans to produce a slate of various series and films, both live-action and animated. Among the projects revealed to be in the works is a live-action Taarna, of which a test-reel was released.

(Of course, the archaeologist's daughter was trying to manipulate Harry, which makes her behavior to that point make sense. And as for Gloria... even the most sensible of us will panic and babble about random things while in shockâ€”although, admittedly, that only explains her going off about her check-up, not jumping in bed with the robot.)

Heavy Metal / int_430e15e1	comment	Stripperific Taarna, as visible in the poster (although her battle gear doesn't cover much either, and sports Combat Stilettos). Although, there were real life warrior cultures where going to war wearing little or nothing was both an actual practice and a sign of being a total badass who wasn't afraid to fight without armor. Plus, it allows for better movement and everything in Taarna's story takes place on a desert planet. Exploited when the Barbarian Leader slashes Taarna across the stomach. Another reason not to expose your skin in combat.

Originally there was going to be a lot more overlap between the stories (e.g. Hanover Fiste is seen traveling on the same ship as the stoner aliens and declares that Sternn WILL go free). However this became impossible due to the filming of each segment being handled by different studios, with collaboration between them being incredibly difficult.

Heavy Metal / int_863fa679	type	What Happened to the Mouse?
Heavy Metal / int_863fa679	comment	What Happened to the Mouse? "Harry Canyon." After taking the girl to his apartment (where they have sex), Harry is woken up the next morning by two cops demanding to know where she was, "or you're dead!" While it's not unreasonable for the villain to have corrupt cops working for him, this is never hinted at, and the villain just sends two thugs after Harry. "Den." After Norl splits up with Den during the attempt to steal the Loc-Nar from the Queen, he is never seen again. Since his master Ard ends up with the Loc-Nar, Norl presumably acquired it and returned it to him. However, he doesn't appear during the final battle between the Queen and Ard. (This differs from the comic, where Norl dies fighting the guards.) "So Beautiful, So Dangerous" starts out with government officials discussing mysterious human mutations, and Dr. Anrak seems to be part of a cover-up that is later implied to involve Zeke, Edsel, and the robot. Except the mutation story is completely and utterly forgotten when said aliens abduct Dr. Anrak and Gloria. The behind-the-scenes material on disc implies that this story was heavily edited from the original treatment - apparently to the point where it just stops arbitrarily instead of ending. In fact, much that went wrong with this film (particularly the inconsistent animation style, some poor writing in places, and sections that just stop or don't really make sense or were entirely left out like an intended link between Captain Sternn and B-17) can be seen as a combination of inexperience, poor planning, and just plain not enough time and money being spent on the project.

Heavy Metal / int_c0fda9f6	comment	All Amazons Want Hercules: In 'the "Den" story, Den is a 98-pound weakling voiced by John Candy. Sent to an alternate dimension, he transforms into a bald, muscle-bound, loin-cloth-wearing Action Hero, "with his dork hanging out." He rescues a Damsel in Distress, Kath, and when they have a moment to talk in peace (expanded upon in a deleted scene), Kath explains that she brought into that world as well and changed to her delight into a naked Ms. Fanservice ideal and would love to offer her attentions to her hero, and he accepts eagerly. Later, Den is forced to join a small raid against an evil queen's palace only to blunder into the queen in the dark. When the lights come on, he is clearly grabbing her (very much uncovered) breasts. The queen doesn't mind; a few seconds of animated sex later, she proclaims Den her messiah. About par for female characters in that movie.

Heavy Metal / int_fb7bc4a8	comment	Never Trust a Title: This movie really does not focus on heavy metal music. The soundtrack is subdued enough that most of the music is barely audible in the background, there are long gaps between songs, and by today's standards most of the songs would not really be considered heavy metal. The name comes from the magazine the stories were taken from rather than the music. As far as the soundtrack album goes, only the Sammy Hagar, Riggs, Nazareth, and Black Sabbath songs were considered "metal" (or hard rock, at best). The Donald Fagen and Stevie Nicks songs were soft rock, the Journey song was a power ballad, the Devo song was New Wave, and everything else was regular rock. Indeed, as much as half the music heard in the film is a well-regarded symphonic score, composed by Elmer Bernstein. This is more an example of a misunderstood title. The title of the film comes from the American version of the incredibly influential French graphic/comic book anthology "MÃ©tal hurlant", in which the Metal refers not to music but to the application of a Metal attitude to graphic novels, just as Punk literature does not have to involve Punk music.
