Title: KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park
Post by: Andrew on May 21, 2012, 08:27:25 AM
The best way to describe "KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park" is to say that it is a "Scooby-Doo" episode, but starring KISS instead of a bunch of meddling kids and a talking dog.  Yes, that really is KISS, and they really are investigating a mystery in an amusement park.  No, they don't have a talking dog.

What, no Abe Lincoln robot?  They missed a big opportunity there.

I'm a KISS fanboy and I love bad movies, so KISS Meets the Phantom is manna from heaven for me. I have lost count of how many times I've seen it. "ACK!"

That movie was amazing when i first saw this has a kid, but sadly when i saw it has an adult it was hilarously bad.

I remember seeing this on network TV when I was 12 years old.  My brother bought a long time ago and I inherited it.  I love this movie.  It is funny seeing the cheesy affects.  Gene does not talk much, ACE makes noises a lot, Peter is silent a lot and Paul loves to be the cool guy. 


A must see for any B movie fan or a fan of KISS.

Later,

John

I'm waiting for a proper DVD release of the NBC cut, which I have on VHS. The version of the film on the Kissology DVD set is the theatrical cut for Europe and some of the funnier lines are cut. Much of the incidental music is replaced with Kiss songs (which is a lot better than that "Starsky and Hutch wah wah music), but I still prefer the NBC version.

I tried for years to find a copy becuase for me, this was an absolute must-see movie. Sadly, upon my first viewing I could not make it through the entire run-time and I am a die-hard KISS maniac! The same thing then occurred on my second viewing......and my third.....

My best friend is possibly the biggest KISS fan that I have ever known and he owns 2 versions of this film: the original American television cut and the extended international cut where it was actually released theatrically. We watched the extended cut not too long ago actually and the additional footage managed to make the movie make even less sense if that's even possible!

I've always felt kinda sorry for the overseas KISS fans who had to pay good money to see this travesty in a theatre. At least here in the U.S. we got to watch it on TV for nothin'.  :teddyr:

Two things I love about this movie...

1.) Ace is replaced by a black guy

and

2.) I believe it was Peter who had his lines dubbed over because he was too drunk during filming and slurred everything.

I wish I knew the name of the guy that dubbed Peter's voice, he sounds like Duke from "G.I. Joe" and Zan (male Wonder Twin) from "Super Friends." You can tell this is a Hanna Barberra project, the whole thing reeks of Scooby Doo. It was probably a leftover Scooby script.

I met Peter Criss  at the 1994 KISS Expo in New Jersey and someone asked him about the "Phantom" looping. He said "I heard it was the same guy who did Barney Rubble's voice" but he didn't know if that was true or not.

He did confirm that the reason his voice was overdubbed was because his speech was so slurred throughout filming from alcohol/drugs. The only time his "actual" voice is in the movie is when he sings "Beth."

I also heard he wouldn't show up when they needed to loop the dialogue. I don't think it's the guy who did Barney Rubble. Barney was done by Mel Blanc who did most of the Looney Tunes characters.

I've never heard of an "extended" theatrical cut, as "Attack of the Phantoms" is actually about 15 minutes or so shorter than the US television cut.  I like it for what it is, but there was definitely room for improvement.

Boring???  I laughed a lot.  The cheese is over the top.  CC I think that being a KISS fan you must suffer for their art.  Also have some of these:   :drink: :cheers:
