Description

On May 31, 1986, John Heyn and Jeff Krulik filmed Judas Priest fans in a concert arena parking lot in suburban Maryland. Thirty years later, Heavy Metal Parking Lot is hailed as one the greatest rock documentaries ever. It’s a definitive cultural touchstone for the 1980s metal scene: spandex, big hair, denim, mullets, muscle cars, and beer. Heavy Metal Parking Lot launched a parking lot genre that continues to resonate today with sequels, screenings, concerts, a reality-TV series, and fan-generated films and art inspired by the 1986 original. Welcome to the World of Heavy Metal Parking Lot. Hell Yeah!

This deluxe, limited edition, two-disc set includes Heavy Metal Parking Lot alongside related films Heavy Metal Picnic, Heavy Metal Basement, Neil Diamond Parking Lot and hours of supplements in addition to an assortment of other features from co-director Jeff Krulik.

    The Funniest 17 Minutes You’ll Ever Watch

    I went into this as a blind buy and I’ve probably watched it 20 times and I’m still not tired of it. I show it to all of my friends and we cry from laughing so hard. Also, there’s a bonus Neil Diamond Parking Lot in the special features that is literally just as good. It’s a perfect double feature! BUY THIS!

    Heavy Metal Parking Lot bluray review

    Heavy Metal Parking Lot was recommended by a friend so I picked it up when I noticed stock was getting low.

    This documentary was very well done. The film is very amusing and funny. The film takes place at a Judas Priest concert and the interviews with audience members are great.

    This package comes with a lot of extra features.

    Sadly, this title OOS at Vinegar Syndrome, but I would highly recommend finding a copy for sale and picking it up.

    Bought for the rock but stayed for the Borgnine

    Heavy Metal Parking Lot is interesting as a cultural artifact. It's pretty fun seeing footage of people in a parking lot to see Judas Priest way before people were used to being on camera all the time. It's not an awesome movie but it's not very long and ends before the novelty wears off. I didn't love some of the other films on the disc but I adored Ernest Borgnine on the Bus. It's the most fun film in the package.
