Great Moments In Cinema...

And TV - Part 33

Did you figure out my oh-so-subtle clues I gave you in "The Musical Interlude..." then?

Let's examine the evidence...

Liam Lynch? Amazingly, he directed this film...
Foo Fighters? Dave Grohl had a starring role (reprising a character he'd played before) in the film... although you maybe wouldn't have recognised him, since he looked a "hornier" than he usually does (impossible as it may seem)...

Yep, it is (of course) the mighty "Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny"... and here's the opening song - "Kickapoo", featuring Meat Loaf and Dio - and the little kid playing JB is amazing!

Why should you watch this film?: Cause it's a bad-ass, laugh-a-minute, rocking riot! I just watched it today, and I about wet myself laughing!

Oh, and as a special treat (one that doesn't appear anywhere on the DVD... gutted)... Here is the mighty "Tribute" video, starring some of the familiar faces from the film...

And for those of you who aren't easily offended, and have a sense of humour, here's a link to the video for "Fuck Her Gently"... www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvNPKeJ4ZUo
