The film of Detroit Rock City is an epic tale of four teenage Kiss fans trying to get to a Kiss concert. The film takes place in the 1970’s when disco is still extremely popular, which causes the teenagers to have several conflicts and disputes with the “Stella’s.” One of the teenagers in the film is played by Edward Furlong who has been in many other films such as Terminator and American History X.
Jam, who is the drummer for the teenagers band Mystery, also has a mother who is extremely religious and despises the fact that her son listens to the band. She claims that the band’s name Kiss is actually an acronym which stands for Knights in Satins Service.
During school one evening she finds the four Kiss concert tickets, and then destroys them in front of the boys during school. Jam is then taken to a religious boarding school one county over. The rest of the film is of the boys trying to reclaim tickets for the show, fight the disco movement, and grow gusto.
This has been one of my favorite films since I originally saw it in high school. While not many people know about the film it is a great story of a group of teenagers fighting for the right to rock and roll all night and party all day.
