"So Beautiful & So Dangerous" again showcased Cheap Trick ("I Must Be Dreamin'"), as well as Grand Funk Railroad ("Queen Bee"), Nazareth ("Crazy? ") and Sammy Hagar (with another song titled "Heavy Metal"). Blue Oyster Cult wrote and recorded another original for the film titled "Vengeance (The Pact)," but the producers felt it too closely summarized the movie's "Taarna" chapter.Ĭheap Trick's "Reach Out" was also included on the " Captain Sternn" vignette, while "B-17" – with a zombie-fied script by Dan O'Bannon, who wrote 1979's Alien – featured Felder's "Heavy Metal (Takin' a Ride)," an Eagles reunion of sorts that just missed the Top 40. Potterton actually had plenty of takers: The "Harry Canyon" segment, based on an Moebius item from the magazine titled "The Long Tomorrow," features songs by Blue Oyster Cult ("Veteran of the Psychic Wars"), Stevie Nicks ("Blue Lamp"), Donald Fagen ("True Companion") and Journey ("Open Arms"). I figured it would either be a huge hit or a huge flop, but I'll roll the dice."

It was, I initially thought, this bizarre, animated adult movie aimed at stoners. "The director called me in to take a look at the film first," Felder later told the Tribune News Service. In keeping, the R-rated film pushed boundaries well past anything the typical Disney fan could possibly accept – or maybe even imagine. The idea was to create an animated film for an older audience." They were different from anything I had ever seen. I do like science fiction, and I loved the illustrations and some of the stories. "I'm mostly a comedy buff," Reitman told the Los Angeles Times in 1996, "but I thought there would be a good film in it. The soundtrack was also dotted with huge stars, including Black Sabbath, former Eagles guitarist Don Felder, Blue Oyster Cult, Cheap Trick and others. Reitman assembled a team of smart up-and-coming voice talent, including SCTV castmates Harold Ramis, John Candy, Joe Flaherty and Eugene Levy.
I really liked the idea of, like, five or six stories, different stuff, just like in the magazine. I loved that stuff, but I couldn't see doing a 90-minute film just in one style. A lot of it was crap, but there was some good drawing. "I liked the drawings – some of the stuff. "When the producer Ivan Reitman and I first met, I knew about the Heavy Metal magazine," Potterton told Animation World Network in 2015.
