harrison r Elitist film students make fun of people sincerely enjoying something wonderful. Not really sure why anyone should watch this. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review david f An amusing series of interviews taking place in the parking lot of the venue before a Judas Priest concert in 1986. I can see why this has become a cult film with its mix of public access cable show production values and teenage headbangers drinking and smoking. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A mini documentary capturing the enthusiasm of Judas Priest fans in the US. Really simple and the soundtrack is only some of the band's radio friendly hits with the more american sound. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't understand why this movie is so talked about. It just moves from one drunk, drugged out person to another, and then it ends. I feel that movies about niche arts/activities should kindle some sort of curiosity or interest in outsiders, but this did nothing of the kind for me. On the contrary I was revolted and put off by the people in the video. You don't get the sense from this that metal fans may come in different shapes and sizes - this short seems to suggest that they are all the same. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Heavy Metal Parking Lot is a brilliant short film about a group of fans tailgating outside a stadium before a Judas Priest concert.

This is a humorous look at the world of metal fans, and watching the film, it's like stepping back in time and experiencing the feel of the genre back in its heyday. For sheer, entertainment value, Heavy Metal Parking Lot is a great film to watch, although it's a short, it will definitely appeal to fans of the music. Watching this, you realize why this has become such a cult hit among musicians and fans alike. If you're looking for a perfect short documentary that chronicles head bangers the way they were back in the day, this is that film to watch. The film has the vibe, the humor, the diehard dedication of Judas Priest fans, and if you're looking for the definitive portrait of heavy metal and, Heavy Metal Parking Lot is a great documentary, one that relies on its nostalgia factor to really make it entertaining. I am a diehard metalhead, and the metal attitude that most fans possess nowadays is so far from what it used to be. Watching this, you realize how much fun fans of the music had, and how everything else seemed trivial. 80's metalheads were having fun, and it was about the music. Nowadays, the scene seems a bit divided and it's kind of sad. Nonetheless, Heavy Metal Parking Lot is a brilliant portrait of what the scene used to be.
