If ever there was a movie to be openly mocked, "Voyage of the Rock Aliens" is IT. Produced by Curb Records as a showcase for their artists (most of whom were dropped from the label LONG before the movie was released) with a cast that includes Jermaine Jackson (in a music video which was incoherently inserted into the film), Pia Zadora ("Santa Claus Conquers the Martians"), Craig Sheffer ("Nightbreed"), Michael Barryman ("The Hills Have Eyes") and Ruth Gordon ("Rosemary's Baby") and take-offs of everything from "Beach Party" to "Halloween," this flick is guaranteed to have any and ALL viewers scratching their heads and asking "WTF?!" Although it epitomizes the '80s in a way that makes those who remember the era squeal with delight (or sheer agony depending upon one's perspective), the movie remains largely unknown in the USA... but it was a hit in Germany, where there's a 2-disc Blu-Ray special edition.
A Rifftrax commentary would probably do for "Rock Aliens" what MST3K did for "Manos." It's THAT memorably bizarre and practically as obscure.
