This listing is for the standard edition Blu-ray. The limited edition slipcover (designed by Earl Kessler Jr.) was limited to 6,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the slipcover.
A group of aliens in a guitar shaped spaceship are on the hunt to find the true source of Rock n’ Roll. After spotting teenage DeeDee and her boyfriend Frankie, each of whom are vying to become the top rocker in the small town of Speelburgh, the aliens land, only to set off of an increasingly strange series of events and musical mayhem that threatens the very existence of the town itself!
Starring the legendary actress and singer Pia Zadora (Butterfly, Hairspray) in what might be the wildest and wackiest role of her career, James Fargo’s (Every Which Way But Loose) VOYAGE OF THE ROCK ALIENS is a nearly unclassifiable smorgasbord made up of one part rock musical, one part sci-fi insanity, and one part 50s kitsch through an 80s glam lens. Never given an authorized disc release in the US, Vinegar Syndrome presents this seminal slice of premium cable nostalgia in its ultimate home video edition, featuring a gorgeous and brand new 2K restoration and jam packed with comprehensive and newly produced extras.

"Vinegar Syndrome released a limited-edition Blu-ray of the wacky 1984 sci-fi rock musical Voyage of the Rock Aliens in July 2022. The Region-Free release features a brand-new 2K restoration scanned from the 35mm interpositive, alongside a jam-packed selection of newly produced making-of featurettes and documentaries."
"Well, at least now I know where that Zadora/Jackson song was used for. Everything is clearly meant to be taken with a wink, with great dance choreography and goofy characters and even more zany humor. Acting is what it is for this kind of thing and at times it resembles a '50s movie, what with the warderobe used. Not exactly the kind of film one would expect to come from VS (maybe that's just why it's a perfect fit). The technical qualities are great again, with a couple of insightful extra's."
"Fun 80s flick I’m not crazy about musicals but this one was fun nice making of documentary on the extras"
"The 80’s were something, man. Goofy as hell, and nothing in this movie makes sense. Campy and earnest and badly edited. It’s quite a sight to behold. I laughed intentionally and non-intentionally several times. VS put together some nice extras on this."
"The plot of this sounds like a crazy fun time. Picked this up on sale and need to still watch. Quality artwork as normal."
"Voyage of the Rock Aliens is an unapologetically bonkers mashup of glam rock, sci-fi, teen comedy, and musical mayhem that somehow works through sheer commitment to its outrageous premise. Pia Zadora, Michael Berryman, catchy songs, and nonstop camp make this a joyful slice of premium cable nostalgia. Vinegar Syndrome's gorgeous restoration and extensive extras finally give this gloriously weird cult classic the first-rate release it's always deserved."
"I miss movies that weren't affraid to get super crazy with their plotlines and characters. I was supprised to see that Michael Berryman was in this!"
"This was recommended to me by a friend. It wass somewhat entertaining tough i didn't like most of the songs. The slipcover looks nice tough."
"So confused by the first 10 minutes of this film but don't worry, there's a special feature to explain it! Really fun and campy"
"So kitch and tacky that becomes hypnotizing."
