Watch KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park For Free

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Too much of everything

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

There's no point in trying to deny that Attack of the Phantoms (as the version I watched was called) is cheaply produced, horribly acted, poorly written, badly directed trash designed purely to help capitalise on KISS's popularity at the time: album and T-shirt sales are what this silly TV movie is really all about. But as a member of the KISS Army for over thirty years, and as a lifelong fan of bad movies, I can't help but enjoy this nonsense a little (OK, a lot) more than I probably should.The film takes place at a theme park (actually Six Flags Magic Mountain in California) where malfunctioning rides are threatening to seriously affect profits. In order to bring in the crowds, the park's owner arranges for popular rock band KISS to play several outdoor concerts. But when the park's head engineer, Abner Devereaux (Anthony Zerbe), is given the sack, he plots revenge, sending his robots to cause further trouble.KISS come to the rescue with their superpowers, battling numerous robots in the process (one of the advantages of having stars who wear face-paint is that they're easy to double in action scenes), but the band are eventually captured after their magical talismans are zapped with a laser by Devereaux. Trapped in a laser cage, Gene, Paul, Peter and Ace watch on helplessly as their robot doubles take to the stage and sing Rip and Destroy, a bastardised version of their hit Hotter Than Hell, in order to incite the audience to riot.Combining what little powers they have left, KISS are able to use telekinesis to get back their talismans, recharge themselves, and escape to battle their doppelgangers. Having destroyed the robots, the band proceed to belt out a proper KISS hit—Rock and Roll All Nite—much to the appreciation of their fans, and Devereaux, devastated by his defeat, turns into a catatonic vegetable.Best or worst scene (depending on your point of view): KISS are attacked by a gang of robotic, albino, monkey/werewolf monsters in silver jumpsuits (I kid you not!).7.5 out of 10 for the extreme cheeze factor, bumped all the way up to 10/10 for those great KISS songs (hits on the soundtrack include Beth, Almost Human, Shout It Out Loud, and I Stole Your Love, plus Love In Chains, Back In The New York Groove, That's the Kind of Sugar Papa Likes, and Mr. Make Believe from their solo albums).

Whether or not you like the rock band KISS, it's hard not to admit that they are the biggest whores in the history of music. I am not talking about their sex lives, but their willingness to almost anything for a buck. No, wait...considering that they starred in KISS MEETS THE PHANTOM OF THE PARK, they would do ANYTHING, A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G for a dollar!! You don't believe me? Well check out their official website as well as Gene Simmons' site. There is KISS wine, KISS skateboards, KISS phone skins, KISS comic books and even KISS toys. Heck, sooner or later I almost expect to see KISS home pregnancy kits, toilet paper and suppositories!! If I were in their position, I might, too, succumb to the lure of cash...it's hard to say. But as far as this made for TV movie goes, it's hard to imagine money holds this much power over anyone and this is way beyond the limit for traditional rock and roll whoring! It is, in my opinion, a travesty and KISS owes its fans something to pay them back for making this film--like maybe some free Gene Simmons Java (this is a real product, I swear).To say this is a horrible film is a gross misstatement. Aside from playing a few of their famous songs (such as "Beth" and "Detroit Rock City"), there is nothing about this film that is good in any way. Heck, even the choice of songs is often suspect, as the group definitely had better stuff than many of the forgettable tunes in this film.As I explain the plot, I want you to understand that I am not insane nor am I on drugs--this REALLY is the plot for the film. An amusement park has invited KISS for a series of concerts. However, the mastermind behind creating the park is a loopy guy (Anthony Zerbe--who made a career out of playing evil and slimy villains) and he hates KISS--though you are never exactly sure why. But, because Zerbe does not control the park, he is forced to spend most of his time living underneath the park--perfecting his weird audio-animatronic creations (similar to Disney's but even more evil). But, when Zerbe is fired, he vows revenge and unleashes his army of robot zombies!! Egad! Can anyone help? Is there any hope? Well, sure...as it turns out that KISS is actually made up of superheroes who make the X-Men look like losers. The Star Child (Paul Stanley) can shoot lasers out of his eyes and sing well. The Demon (Gene Simmons) can growl like a lion, shoot fire out of his mouth and sing...not so well (but he makes up for it by singing loudly). The Space Ace (Ace Frehley) can appear and disappear at will (sort of like his career with KISS, actually). And, the Cat...is a guy painted like a cat. So how do they have all these cool powers (that look REALLY bad on film, by the way)? They have a case with magic talismans which enable them to live many lives, play great tunes (sometimes) and shoot things out of their bodies (I'll say no more).So, Zerbe can't get himself a decent hairdo, but he is able to figure out that his next step is to steal these talismans. Unfortunately, they (like most talismans) are protected by a force field and his robot-zombie can't get them--that is until Zerbe creates a cool ray gun which renders the force field inert (by the way, how did he test this to know that it would work?!). In addition, he has created four exact replicas who will take KISS' place after they are kidnapped. Step one (get the talismans) and step two (kidnap KISS) work out great, but considering that Zerbe did not appear to have a step three it's not surprising that it all fell apart at the end. You'd think step three would be global domination or at least getting some hot chicks, but you never hear or see anything that would indicate there is any plan other than to replace KISS with robots (and, judging by this movie, this MIGHT have already been done by some other mad scientist before filming began!).Overall, this is a god-awful mess of a film which happens to have a few good songs, but otherwise it's 100% terrible and ONLY of interest to rapid KISS fans (who STILL might insist this is better than STAR WARS or the works of Akira Kurosawa) or bad film aficionados like myself. What makes this especially bad is not just the terrible script but the fact that it's obvious that the band could have cared less about the film--putting no energy into it and not even bothering to show up for the dubbing sessions or scenes (see the IMDb trivia section for more of this). Basically, it's just a change to whore themselves out and get even richer!

KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park is set at the Magic Mountain Amusement Park which is gearing up to hold a series of KISS concerts in a hope to generate some much needed cash. Park manager Calvin Richards (Carmine Caridi) fires the park's creator & brilliant scientist Abner Devereaux (Anthony Zerbe) who is not very happy about it, as revenge he takes control of his assistant Sam (Terry Lester) in order to put a devious plan into action. Devereaux plans to make exact robotic replicas of the members of KISS & substitute them for the real thing & using their popularity & altered on stage lyrics intends to incite a riot which will destroy the park & leave him all satisfied & happy. However KISS aren't any ordinary rock band & are in fact superheroes who decide to fight Devereaux & stop is evil plan.Originally made for telly by the Hanna-Barbara Production company (yes the same one responsible for all those cartoons) & loosely based on the Marvel comic books which had KISS as an ordinary rock band by day & superheroes by night this is one of the most amazingly bad films I have ever seen, it's the type of film where mere words alone cannot do it justice & you just have to have seen it to understand what everyone else is on about. First of all I should point out that KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park aired on US telly before being re-edited, re-scored, retitled to KISS Attack of the Phantom & getting a theatrical release throughout Europe & the two films have fairly significant differences. Many scenes present in the US version are not in the European one & vise-versa while the soundtrack is also very different with many more solo KISS songs in the European cut. I will be basing my comment on the European version & have not seen the US television cut. To be honest I don't quite know where to start to describe KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park, it's quite simply one of the most hilariously bad, over-the-top, unintentionally funny, camp, silly, childish & downright entertaining part horror, part action, part superhero, part comedy, part rock concert films I have ever seen. The script is terrible & has the most moronic plot ever, this scientist because he is being fired devises a horribly complicated & expensive plan to destroy a theme park but the rock band KISS who are really superheroes foil his plan. This has everything, a mad scientist, bad special effects, musical concert footage badly edited into the story, endless shots of random amusement park rides, a love interest subplot, the worst looking Frankenstein monster ever committed to film, the whole 70's hippy vibe & even some teenage thugs who have names like Slime, Chopper & Dirty Dee. How could any self respecting lover of horror, trash, cult, sci-fi & bad cinema in general not like KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park? It's absolute rubbish from start to finish but boy is it entertaining laugh out loud & cringe in embarrassment rubbish with an ending that makes zero sense.I must admit I know nothing about KISS as a band, until I saw this I don't think I had ever consciously listened to one of their teen orientated rock tracks in my life & I have to say that after seeing this I am most definitely not a fan. The concert footage might appeal to some but I thought it sucked & they just look ridiculous in those outfits & that clown inspired face-paint. When they aren't performing on stage they are superheroes & their special powers are lame, one shoots silly laser beams from his eyes, the other breathes fire & another can teleport wherever he likes & I'm not sure about the fourth member as he didn't really do anything that could be describes as superhero-ish. All of their voices have been electronically altered to presumably sound menacing but fail completely & they not only look ridiculous but sound it as well. The fight scenes are strictly for kids & look awful, they are badly choreographed & no-one ends up getting hurt. The opening titles are also a hoot as superimposed images of KISS play over shots of the amusement park at night.The film has a very bland flat & frankly dull look about it, it screams TV film. Apparently all four members of KISS hate the film & it's easy to see why as it makes them look like prize turkey's. According to the IMDb the bad were given their lines on set just before action was called & none of them even knew how the film would end which I suppose means there wasn't a script & to be honest it really does feel although this was made up as the makers went along. As I said I am not a fan of KISS, I mean judging by this they can neither sing nor act!KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park (wrong, there is no mysterious Phantom in this) is one of those guilty pleasure type films, it's absolutely awful in every way from start to finish but it's just so funny & ridiculous that I couldn't help but be entertained by it although if you have a low pain threshold you might want to give this a miss.

I gave this a 10 out of 10 for campiness. This is a fantastic homage to the 70's. The scenes at the amusement park brought back memories of going to Ponchatrain beach in New Orleans (torn down in 1984 to put up condos sadly) I remember watching this at Halloween time when it was shown on TV. If you want to see it in it's greatest, get the old video version with Peter Criss' lines voiced over by another actor. A bit of a friendly correction to the comment above. The song "Rip and Distroy" was an evil version of "Hotter than Hell". A bit of trivia. When Gene jumped over the fence, he k/o'ed one of the cameras.I've got the DVD of this movie and I still watch it occasionally. Good stuff.
