Trivia

The game actually dates back much further than its eventual 2000 release; it was originally a late-generation game for the 3DO console. Little detail was ever released (other than a generic plot about firemen throwing a party while the city burned), and the game never made it to release. In 2003, a long trailer surfaced, featuring many of the game's cameos (including Mark Mothersbaugh and the late Dr. Timothy Leary). Beyond that trailer, very little is known, particularly what kind of gameplay (if any) the 'game' would have featured.

User Reviews

What the hell did I just watch?!

I saw this "film" out of sheer moronic interest in some of it's stars, King Buzzo, Mark from DEVO, Dr. Timothy Leary, The Boredoms, what's not to like? The answer? Most of this excruciatingly stupid excuse for a short film.

The cut of it I saw ran a mere seven minutes, the first time I watched it, I thought it was slightly funny, upon a second, more sober viewing, this became a torment to watch.

Poor sound and picture, choppy editing, mediocre cinematography and directing, not to mention okay-ish acting, a horrid plot and terrible dialog.

There are only two types of people I'd recommend this to, sadomasochists and LSD addicts.

Fans of any cast members will be miserably disappointed, if you wish to see the cast in better form, rent Hoch Zeit, watch a VH1 rockumentary, track down the "Elevator" episode of Space Ghost: Coast To Coast, go to a screening of The Theory Of De-evolution, or just buy a Boredoms/Melvins/Fantomas/DEVO record, you'll be glad you did.
