Heavy Metal (1981)

On August 7, 1981, the animated film "Heavy Metal" was released. In contrast to many other countries, it was part of a small list of animated movies made for adults in America. The anthology movie, only loosely tied together, was based on the mature illustrated magazine "Heavy Metal", which was the English translated version of the French "Metal Hurlant", pieces from "National Lampoon", and fiction. Due to issues with releases for the music, it took 15 years for the movie to be released on home video. The movie segments were "Soft Landing", "Grimaldi", "Harry Canyon", "Den", "Captain Sterrn", "Neverwhere Land" "B-17", "So Beautiful & So Dangerous", "Taarna", and the "Epilogue".
