Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaHarland Sanders: According to director Herschell Gordon Lewis, the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, Colonel Harland Sanders, whose company supplied Lewis' production company and advertising firm with fried chicken during the filming of this and other movies, insisted on appearing in a cameo at a KFC restaurant located in Wilmette, Illinois. Lewis recalled that Colonel Sanders was very difficult to work with because Sanders made several unreasonable and self-serving demands for, among many things, multiple rehearsals, top-billing, and wanting to direct the scene himself. With Sanders costing time and money, Lewis and his film crew decided to shoot a rehearsal of the scene without telling Sanders that the camera was on at the time. After the filmed rehearsal was finished, Lewis told Sanders that they had to leave to be somewhere to film another scene and lied by claiming they would return to the KFC tomorrow to film, in which finally Sanders left. The entire scenes with Sanders were secretly filmed rehearsals which Lewis noted that they worked OK in the final released film.

Thinking there really dumb he goes about booking gigs for them, changing their image with tacky looking suits that would make you want to puke. Soon they get fed up with it and demand more money, so what does the greaseball do, he sets them up on a planned "dope" bust. He hires a goon to pretend to be a cop to snare them, and then blackmail them to work for the weasel promoter for free. Whats even more crazy is he hires young awesome looking lasses to disrupt the gigs to create hype for the band. What a con!!
This film is filled with great gigs of the band jamming, lots of cool pot parties with groupies. This movie is by far the best from the 60's about rock 'n roll bands trying to make it in the big black world.
