As the green orb is destroyed along with the present Defender, the young woman becomes the latest in the line of Defenders against evil.Īlthough the vignettes are uneven, each has its own animation style (although sometimes the work appears hurried and choppy). In the closing tale, the little girl is found to be a descendent of a warrior race known as 'Defenders'. Through vignettes, the orb demonstrates its power. The story is quite simple: a green globe claiming to be the 'sum of all evil' shows a young woman how futile it is to stop it. Combining a one-two punch of imagination and masturbation, the movie is basically a set of tales tied together by a thin framework. Released in 1981, Heavy Metal quickly became the principal feature at midnight movie screenings. Reitman cast several 'Second City' comedians in voice roles: talent included John Candy, Harold Ramis, and Eugene Levy. Produced by Ivan Reitman ( Stripes, Ghostbusters), Heavy Metal is not so much about the music genre (even though the soundtrack features metal bands) as it is about the magazine (inspired by the French publication Metal Hurlant), which during the 1970s featured creators such as Berni Wrightson, Richard Corben and Chris Achilleos.
