The blog post I entered earlier about my top 11 Brendan Fraser movies, made me go online and try to find some of his movies to stream. Cause truth be told, I haven’t seen him on cable or otherwise on any film that doesn’t co-star a Mummy, in a long time! And this is one guy who I like watching, since he is a loveable goof. So I was clicking along and found a stream of his 1994 movie Airheads. This movie co-stars two other comedian actors, Steve Buscemi & Adam Sandler, who play bass & drums respectively in the fictional band (for the movie) the Lone Rangers. Fraser is the lead singer & guitarist of the trio, who get turned down by every music producer. Finally they get their demo tape (which plays a huge part in the movie) into a local radio station, which helped promote a now famous band. They are turned down by the station manager, who calls their music ‘thrash’. The trio use water guns, which look convincingly like uzis and demand that their music be played on the air. The tape is played but the reel gets damaged, hence the trio must get the copy from Fraser’s character’s girlfriend.

Also, Michael Richards (‘Kramer’ from Seinfeld) plays an employee in the radio station who calls the cops upon finding out that the band has taken the station manager & dj hostage. The Dj helps the guys out and they sign a contract with a big producer. They are told that they can play at a big stage but find out that they were to lip sync, which they refuse to do and they go on to smash the equipment, much to the enjoyment of the crowd. The end credits state that the three go to prison for a short time and they release an album that goes platinum and success is finally theirs.
