With a framing story about a glowing greenorb claiming to be the embodiment of all evil, the film shuttlesthrough eight episodic tales of sci-fi adventure, each fueled by someof the most wretched rock music to emerge from the 1980s. The mostconsistent trademark is an abundance of blood-splattering violence andwet-dream sex, the latter involving a succession of huge-breasted babeswho shed their clothes at the drop of a G-string. It's all quite fun inits rampantly brainless desire to fuel the young male libido, and forall its incoherence Heavy Metal remains impressive for theambitious artistry of its individual segments.
