Heavy metal trio The Lone Rangers haven't had much luck getting their songs heard.
During their last desperate trip to a radio station they bring along some genuine looking water pistols and spontaneously pull them out when they're turned down again.
One of the workers at the station escapes being taken hostage and calls the police, and a long standoff ensues until the Rangers can play their tape, which the lead singer gave to his now ex-girlfriend...
Airheads is one of those films you either love or hate. When this movie first came out, I thought it was great and very funny. Nearly twenty years later, it's still funny, but for different reasons.
Mantegna is the best thing in this movie, followed by Buscemi. Fraser is Fraser, and you can tell Sandler is just in waiting, and his star deservedly shone two years later. But the thing that makes this film work isn't the situation, nor the three leads, it's the randomness of it all.
One minute, Egon and Winson from ghostbusters are there, next we see Lemmy! totally ridiculous, but it works, just.
