In the cold of space, they’re the hottest band around! When Vicious Lips bandmates Bree (Gina Calabrese), Mandoa (Shayne Farris), and Wynzi (Linda Kerridge, Fade To Black) get their one shot to make it as the galaxy’s next big thing, they’re over the moon with excitement. But their hopes soon come crashing back to earth: their lead singer Ace dies, and their big gig in the sky seems light years away! Hastily signing up the wide-eyed Judy Jetson (Dru-Anne Perry) to replace their Ace, the Lips blast off on a cosmic road trip to launch their meteoric rise to superstardom. Written and directed by Albert Pyun (The Sword And The Sorcerer, Captain America), Vicious Lips takes you on a wildly unique trip to some of the strangest rocks in the universe.

This is true cinematic art at its finest. Required viewing for any serious student of film history. The quality of the wiggery is superb, and the vocal styling and athleticism of the pedantic manager character deserves recognition. Did I mention there are tits? At points, the mirage of a plot appears before us like an oasis in the desert of the insanity that is this movie, but is quickly revealed as an illusion - genius!Our friend Greg recommended this movie, and we should have known better.TLDR; Lunar Madness is dope af.

Horrible writing and bad acting but good 80s New Wave singer.
Horrible writing and story so bad this could go down in history as one of the all-time worst movies except for one or two things.There are a few cool 80's style New Wave songs that fit right into that time with a pretty good job of singing them by Dru-Anne Perry. I don't know if that was really her singing them or if they were dubbed, but none the less, the high points of the film.There was a couple of georgous naked blondes in the desert in a couple of short appearances that seemed to serve no purpose to the story except to have two naked women in the desert who were after the main male character.It's supposed to be about a lead singer making her way to a concert with her band. But this movie's creator(s) couldn't decide whether it was to be a New Wave music video, a horror flick, a really bad low-budget Star Wars clone, or a very soft porn. I guess they chose the worst of all of them except for the music. In any case the story is so bad, you'll either laugh at it's stupid silliness or fall asleep in boredom.Unless you're a fan of unique 80's New Wave all female band songs, you'll proably hate this movie and it's best you don't waste your time with it. I don't know it's production history but I can tell you its awful writing and so-so acting sometimes makes it hard to watch. There's a reason none of the actors went on to do much better. I generously gave it 2 stars because of the 4 or so good music videos from the lead singer that stopped it from being a total waste of time for me.

Big hair and surprisingly really good music. Love it.
It was actually very, very entertaining. It is as the 1970's had inter-galactic space travel. Our star Jude Jetson and her band, who reminds me of Joan Jett and an all female verison of the Blackhearts, crash during a space flight to another gig. You have great new wave music, SciFi space travel, a horror film, and two strippers entertaining the manager in the desert sand. The two strippers get a T&A score of 2.5/5. It was a visual and auditory delight.

Cheesy music/sci-fi flick
Amazingly weird 80s movie (with music!). Plot is strange, but meanders only a little while mostly making sense. It's cheesy, but if you're into that like I am, it's not a waste of your time.

Watch an actual B-movie!
Everything sucked [deliberate or not] except for the music. The lines sucked, the acting sucked, the story leaves plenty of room for improvement and one can definitely tell it's a LOW budget film. I wouldn't even recommend Vicious Lips it for it's entertainment value. Despite all that I loved the music.My advice... [read headline]

I think Ed Wood would’ve been proud!
What in the world did I just watch? This thing is all over the place; from an 80’s monster mash, to interstellar domination, then back to the band getting back together! It definitely would’ve benefited from... too much to get into here. Good music though!

Got through exactly 19 min and 50 seconds
before I realized this movie.....created a large vacuum. This movie made the Kathy Ireland "Alien from LA" seem like "Citizen Kane". Too much 80's overload, and I'm a child of the 80's. Hopefully Rifftrax or MST3k can help.

Vicious Fun!
Fun B-movie! This isn't a classic or anything but if you're in the mood for some dumb fun, heavy emphasis on fun, this more than satisfies. Another blast of a movie from Albert Pyun!
