The in-character commentary is amazing. Almost as funny as the film imo.

"Look how young we are" sticks out from memory.

I watched the Quiet Riot documentary currently airing on Showtime, and there's a scene where the drummer is going through all the line-up changes. At one point he mentions that at one time one of their lead singers was in the film, as part of Howard Hesseman's band.

Sequel in the works
This must have been why the four of them sued Vivendi a while back. Interesting that Reiner’s Castle Rock got a huge influx of cash to develop new feature films; none of his films from the last 20+ years have performed well at all.

I suppose there's plenty of material to mine about aging rockers
