Head down to LA’s New Beverly Cinema at midnight tonight (Friday, December 4th) for a very special screening of a brand new 35mm print of Brian Trenchard-Smith’s amazing STUNT ROCK! Not only will we have a beautiful new print of the film, never before screened, but we will also have some very special guests introducing the film and doing a Q&A afterwards. Currently scheduled are: Director Brian Trenchard-Smith; Dick Blackburn, who plays Monique van de Ven’s agent (and who’s best known as the director of the Rainbeaux Smith film LEMORA); and Sorcery members Perry Morris (drums) and Richie King (bass).
Take the thrill of insane stuntwork, the excitement of rock’n’roll, fuse them together and you get STUNT ROCK! The madness starts when real-life Australian stuntman Grant Page (MAD MAX, PATRICK, MAD DOG MORGAN) goes to Los Angeles to work on a TV show and meets up with a theatrical rock band called Sorcery. Page impresses the rockers so much with his daredevil antics that they hire him as well. While his first stunt lands him in the hospital, the reckless Page defies doctors orders and escapes out of the ward’s fifth floor window to get back into the action. Page also finds himself the focus of the ladies, attracting both a newspaper reporter (Margaret Gerard) and the star of the television program he was hired to do stunts for (Monique van de Ven)… much to the annoyance of her manager (Dick Blackburn).
Featuring non-stop action, a killer late-70’s hard rock soundtrack, and pedal-to-the-metal direction by Brian Trenchard-Smith (ESCAPE 2000, THE MAN FROM HONG KONG), STUNT ROCK is 92 minutes of adrenaline-fueled thrills that will blow your mind. A true cult film, STUNT ROCK is the perfect way to end a booze and chemicals fueled Friday night in LA. Grab a seat in the front row, fasten your seatbelt, and prepare to be under the spell of mind-boggling action and music pushed to the danger zone!
It’s a deathwish at 120 decibels!
It’s superhuman, super music, super magic and super amazing!
It’s….. STUNT ROCK!!!!!!
