Storyline
| Plot Summary |
George Burns is back as God - and also as Satan. A young rock star is ready to sell his soul to Satan, and Satan is all too happy to oblige. But it seems that when this fellow was a baby, he was watched over by God, so now the Almighty and his nemesis must duke it out over his soul.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The crowd that was shown in Buffalo outside the War Memorial Auditorium in this film was actually waiting to see the Van Halen 1984 tour stop there. Concert officials kept the doors closed in order to allow the crowd to build. Weezer drummer Patrick Wilson was within this outside crowd and credits this concert as his inspiration to begin taking drum lessons. Rick James was also in attendance at the show, and Wilson often recalls to friends the sight of James and his entourage passing closely by on the floor. See more » |
| Goofs | In Bobby Shelton's, as Billy Wayne, first concert in Buffalo, the venue changes from an amphitheater to an arena from shot to shot of the crowd. See more » |
