Heavy Metal was an animated anthology science fiction and fantasy film based on the long running magazine of the same name and content.
Its a mixed bag of stories and animation styles with these images coming from the films opening sequence. Spaceman drives car from orbiting space shuttle to earth - trippy!

The helmet in this appears to be one of the Men into space helmets,it has the bottom and top triangular pieces on the visor
ReplyDeletelooks about be right. Has anyone seen this film recently?
DeleteI just watched it again last night,thats when I realised what the helmet was,great movie and I think the magazine that spawned it is still around or was until fairly recently.I can remember having to wait 8 years before I got to see it on the big screen as it never got a general release in my country back in 82 and it never came out on video until the late 90s
ReplyDeleteAnd on the strength of that I've just ordered me a 2nd hand copy for a fraction over 3 quid.
DeleteWatched it last night and its... OK. I suspect its very much of its time and the further we move from those days, the less relevant it will be. A very mixed bag. What do others thinks?
