REVIEW: Raging Angels – Choosen by Ant

Plot overview:

A pair of teenage rock musicians in Los Angeles face more than the usual obstacles when they break up and one of them falls under the control of a supernatural force. Dreams of success can be costly.

Review:

The film opens with a set of poodle perm homo erotic time travelling sub aero smith toss bags singing a pathetic pile of Poison style shit, transported from the 1980’s to the 1990’s. Sean Patrick flannery plays a Jim Bean snorting looser who is ejected from the above band instantly due to lack of perm. The rest of the story would be considered poor even next to a really shit episode of the Man from Uncle. Part way through the film after a couple of horrendous sex scenes and a bunch of puke inducing solo singing shite a bunch of CGI devils appear and kill Flan daddy’s grandma. Sensible then??!?!? He starts on the Jim Bean which seems to change his acting from being bad to REALLY bad and sends him on a one way trip to TV destruction forcing his bird to walk out on him. A bit of yank tank driving then ensues and during this a wank electric thing appears and then another CGi devil, but this time only a head, Really classic stuff. Paré plays some evil nutter and is brilliant as always, there is also some god loving woman that is about as convincing as Gerry Adams promoting an orange march. The film basically transforms into some good vs. evil nonsense with some of the worst demon effects since Specters. This review also caused me to add the words ‘shite’, ‘wank’ and ‘nutter’ to the spell check dictionary.
For the concert finale Nu Image really pushed the boat out. The first band to perform is Captain Crushed Velvet and the One minute men. Next up is Paré fronting his own band the Space Furies performing a song about having the “munchies” called Hunger. Paré wears a sparkly silver stretch top which is considered a capital offence by the Devil who administers death by dire special effect. The Devil doesn’t get it all his own way though as a CGI winged poodle perm cock rock angel comes to the rescue. In what could have only been described as some footage nicked from the computer game Tekken. This review probably makes little sense if you haven’t watched this top 10 classic – all the more reason to watch it then, so you can gain the full wisdom of our words.
