Movie synopsis
Director Alan Rudolph directed this obscure cult concert comedy while still relatively unknown, and it's quite a rip-roarin' ride for viewers with a fondness for late-1970s nostalgia. Rocker Meat Loaf stars as Travis W. Redfish, a farm boy with a genius for electric engineering that he eventually parlays into the title of World's Greatest Roadie. En route, he falls for groupie Lola Bouilliabase (Kaki Hunter) and helps pursue her dream of meeting rock idol Alice Cooper (playing himself). Their pursuit of Alice leads them on a wild chase across the country, replete with 1970s road movie staples such as barroom brawls, car chases, and burly truckers. Blondie, Roy Orbison, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, and Hank Williams Jr. all make appearances, and Art Carney has a nice bit as Travis's father. There's surprisingly good performances all around, particularly Mr. Loaf's, in his first starring role. Rudolph reveals trademarks of his future films in this early feature--a celebration of American eccentricity and quirk-laden romance, which, along with the plethora of time-capsule perfect music, makes this rockin' cult entertainment.

More Deborah Harry needed

Review For: Roadie (DVD, 2003, Widescreen & Full Frame)

The movie ROADIE with Meat Loaf in the starring title role was an enjoyable send up of the rock and roll business.

But frankly, the main attraction for me in ROADIE was watching the charming Deborah Harry playing herself as a member of the group Blondie. Deborah Harry's performance was charming and I only wish the camera had spent more time on her.

Roadie

Review For: Roadie (DVD, 2003, Widescreen & Full Frame)

This is a movie about a young country boy who falls in love with an Alice Cooper fan. Meatloaf plays the country boy becomes a roadie, so that he can get close to the girl. Long story short it takes a while but he finally wins her heart.

Review For: Roadie (DVD, 2003, Widescreen & Full Frame)

The movie is campy,and yes cheesy, but also great when you look closely at the eclectic group of artists and actors with celebrity and even icon status. I was playing fiddle with Hank Jr at the time and appear in the movie. We flew to Dallas on American Airlines after appearing Sunday, Oct 28th 1979 at the "Little Nashville Opry House in Nashville, Indiana. From there we took a charter flight to Austin. We spent Mon, Tues, and part of Wed on the movie set at "The Soapcreek Saloon",in Austin then jumped on a charter flight to a gig Wed night at "The Palace" in Beaumont Texas. We were exhausted. I have my original call sheet listing my name and all the "actors" and some "movie" money...also I still have a t-shirt somewhere provided by the production company that has the Roadie logo on the front and the back says "I am in the movie"...pretty cool. Doing the movie was amazing. For me, it was an experience of a life time

Rock on!

Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.
Review For: Roadie (DVD, 2003, Widescreen & Full Frame)

While this movie will never be on any list of cinematic greats, it is a funny, good time piece of entertainment. Debbie Harry is hilarious in her too brief appearance. Alice Cooper is perfect, and I love seeing Kasim Sulton, Roger Powell, and Willie Wilcox as his band! If you love rock and roll and are looking for some light entertainment, this movie will fill the bill.
