    It's just a good movie.

    I'd like to start off by saying that most people who submit comments or reviews should not take this movie so seriously. It's not Schindler's List or Chicago. I'm pretty sure when the film makers made this they wasn't trying to win an Oscar or anything. They was just trying to make a funny movie and they succeeded. This is a hilarious movie. It's one of those movies that if I'm flipping though the channels and I catch this on, I have to watch it. I heard when it came out that it bombed. I don't see how (What do critics know?). If you're one of those people who take their comedies too seriously, go read Dickens. But if you want to see a funny movie, rent this. Everyone in this is good. The plot is good. The acting is good. It's just a good movie.

    What a cool movie

    We've got Brendan Frazier before he dissappered, Adam Sandler before he had to make movies for himself, Kramer, David St Hubbins, two ghostbusters,a fun and funny story, and lastly a brief cameo from Galactic Cowboys.

    Sons of Thunder aka Galactic Cowboys was a nice surprise, however brief. If you like the era of music that is promoted in this movie, give Galactic Cowboys a try. They're a nice little band from Texas that never got as known as they deserve, but always seem to be having fun making rockin' music.

    Airheads doesn't break any ground, but it is a good time from start to finish. The story is over the top and unlikely, but it can be taken as inspiring.

    It has a School of Rock vibe to it, although it came out quite a bit earlier than School of Rock, and it doesn't have much of a grounded underlying theme as School of Rock does. But both movies are true to the art they are portraying.

    There's not much I have to offer cinematically here. Just enjoy the ride and the rock.

    Not given enough credit

    This is a great movie that simply doesn't get alot of credit. An amatuer band known as the Lone Rangers (Fraser, Buscemi, Sandler) sneak into a recording studio to have their demo tape played on the air. When refused, things get out of hand and they hold the place hostage.

    This movie has an original plot line with good humour and good acting. Keep in mind that this movie comes very early on in the careers of all three title characters. Personally I find the calibre of acting that Fraser and Sandler have in this movie better than some that came afterwards.

    When you start watching this movie, you'll want to finish it. Perfect example, my room mate who came in the room looking for something ended up staying for the whole movie.

    Give this baby a chance. If you don't like it, you've lost the price of a rental.

    Airheads is an hilarious movie.

    Adam Sandler, Brendon Frazer and Steve Buscemi star in this hilarious comedy that proves that movies that take risks pay off. The film is about 3 not so smart striving rock stars who after they get blown off on a radio show with an obnoxious boss and stuck up radio leader. Well from then they end up holding up the place and there leads to an hilarious movie. This movie is a very funny one Adam Sandler did very well in not to say the other 2 main character did not as even the cameos and co stars did a good job in this film. Overall the movie is extremely funny and I think is the funniest Adam Sandler movie that he does not star outrightly in. I rate this movie a fair 73% for keeping me laughing the whole way

    One of the Great 1990s Comedies

    Three band members hoping for a big break head to a radio station to play their demo tape and wind up holding everyone hostage with plastic guns when the head DJ is unable to play them.

    To say this film is a good one from a critical standpoint is a lie, as it is pretty bad in a multitude of ways. But as far as 1990s comedies go, or films connected to "Saturday Night Live" (this one very loosely), this ranks up there in entertainment value.

    If nothing else, the cast sells this -- David Arquette and Michael Richards before their prime. Adam Sandler at his peak. Brendan Fraser in a transition from Pauly Shore to "real" films... and Steve Buscemi? This is just loaded with talent.

    The music will not appeal to everyone. Even as a fan of metal, I have to say a lot of the music is not as top-notch as it probably should be.

    • Trivia
      The Lone Rangers' hit single "Degenerated" is actually a song by 1980s punk group Reagan Youth.
    • Goofs
      When Rex suggests that the tape should be played on the air, Chazz replies it can't be done because the mixing console is busted. All radio stations, especially high profile ones (and even regional ones) have more than one broadcast booth, in most cases two (some with a third as a backup), so it would just be a matter of switching booths.
    • Quotes

      [Chazz and Rex are testing Chris]

      Chazz: Who'd win in a wrestling match, Lemmy or God?

      Chris Moore: Lemmy.

      [Rex imitates a game show buzzer]

      Chris Moore: ... God?

      Rex: Wrong, dickhead, trick question. Lemmy *IS* God.

    • Alternate versions
      Aside from editing some language, the TV version changes one of the last scenes: when Rex is pelvic-thrusting and Chazz gestures "no no no", instead of a shot of a pair of prisoners grinning laciviously, the TV edit uses a shot of two prisoners staring confused at Rex.
