Airheads
The Lone Rangers have heavy-metal dreams and a single demo tape they can't get anyone to play. The solution: Hijack an FM rock radio station and hold the deejays hostage until they agree to broadcast the band's tape.
Critics Sentiment
The band destroys fake instruments refusing to lip sync on rooftop
The reel to reel player malfunctions and destroys the demo tape
The film recovers strongly from the frustrating tape destruction to the beloved metalhead gathering sequence
Airheads delivers consistent entertainment value throughout its runtime, with particular strength in its authentic rock culture knowledge and anti-establishment themes. The film peaks during its rebellious finale where the band refuses to compromise their artistic integrity, while its lowest point comes when the central plot device of the demo tape is destroyed early on.
