Who's been in a Turkish Prison?

Sometime back in the 90s I saw Heavy Metal on TBS and almost the entire segment with the two aliens snorting coke and flying was edited out.

About three years ago I found a DVD in a thrift store and watched it. I don't think that one has held up over the years. Perhaps if I went to a Midnight screening of it like I used to in HS I would think differently.

By the way what ever happened to Midnight Movies? When I was in HS two or three multiplexes had different movies playing on each screen. It was a blast.

Back on topic. I think just about everything in the movie is hilarious. Especially when Wilt Chamberlin breaks character to tell the kid off. And then when he's pulled out of his cockpit seat, he's in a basketball uniform.

It was Kareem Abdul Jabar, "tell your old man to try dragging Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes"
