The inimitable schlockmeister Larry Buchanan must have really poured his heart and soul into this broccoli-fart...it's far more polished than any of the other pictures I've seen by him. That said, it is also possibly the worst film about rock and roll ever made, and paroxysmal laughter is one-hundred percent guaranteed.
This is an intellectually-challenged conspiracy feature which brings to light the shocking "truth" about the wild lives and untimely deaths of three rock legends-- Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, and Janis Joplin. As you will see...they did NOT die from drug overdoses, as claimed the headlines...nope. The startling fact is that they were murdered by an elite group of assassins because they were subversive counterculture mavericks leading a massive youth rebellion during the Vietnam war! One of them may have been spared...but why spoil a novel "twist" ending?
You know you're in for a really stinky treat when the cover of a video about these long-dead rock legends boasts that there are "12 original songs", but frankly, a better than expected job was done making them sound authentic. In fact, the ersatz Doors pieces are frighteningly believable. Less believable, however, are the performances by the leads...they should thank God that they never became famous, because there's no way in all hell they'd ever be able to live this one down.
Big cheers for the MC5 poster, gratuitous groupie boobs, and one of the famed penis immortalizers hauling her plaster-casting gear around in the same vintage Carousel wig box my mom had back in the day.
Seven and one half stars(of ten), for all the wrong reasons.
