Heavy Metal 2000 Part 1

Upon discovery of the Loc-Nar from the original film, a miner named Tyler (voiced by Michael Ironside), becomes possessed by an insatiable hunger for power and a thirst for immortality. On his way to a planet which has a fountain of immortality, Tyler makes a pit stop at a planet designated F.A.K.K.² (Federation-Assigned Ketogenic Killzone), because its inhabitants, the Taarakians, carry some immortality water in their bodies. Tyler abducts a few people and kills the rest, but misses one: Julie (voiced by B-movie queen Julie Strain). She vows to avenge her family and kill Tyler before he reaches the fountain-unaware that her sister Kerrie (Sonja Ball) is actually still alive. She is aided reluctantly by Germaine, a former member of Tyler's highjacked crew left abandoned after he attempted to protect Kerrie, Julie's Sister.
Their search takes them to a space station that appears to be a hot bed of sleaze and depravity. As Tyler prepares to rape a waitress in a strip club, Julie intervenes and attempts to kill him. However, Tyler uses a serum his doctor created to immediately regenerate even his most fatal injuries. At that point, he blows up the club with grenades from Julie's bandoleer.
After escaping from the explosion, Julie then tracks Tyler to a desert where she meets a mysterious alien named Odin (Billy Idol), and his charge, Zeek (who is a talking rock who always refers to Julie as "soft one"). Tyler discovers a race of reptilian beings; he challenges a champion and then their leader to a deathmatch in which he is almost killed. He wins by throwing the leader into the lava pit, then asserts he is their new lord. Julie enters the city under the guise of a woman the reptiles found for Tyler, and attempts to kill him by jamming a horn from the previous reptilian lord's skull into Tyler's throat and attempting to shove his head into a lava fountain. Her attack fails when Zeek, ordered by his master Odin to extract Julie, grabs and overpowers her, leading her back to Odin, which only angers Tyler.
Julie infiltrates Tyler's ship where she finds out Kerrie is still alive, and discovers that Tyler has been distilling the immortality serum from her peoples' bodies. She sneaks in and attacks Tyler's doctor, damaging him and revealing him to be a robot. The attack also sets the complex ablaze with blue flame. Julie manages to release Kerrie, and they escape just before the complex blows up. Tyler sees the explosion from the distance, and is devastated that his source of regenerative serum has been destroyed. He takes out his aggression by killing one of his soldiers, then proclaims to make Julie immortal so he can rape and kill her every hour of every day for eternity. Deciding that time is of the essence with his ship destroyed, and himself down to three vials of regenerative serum, he orders his troops to immediately amass on the citadel where the immortality-giving waters are located.
Meanwhile, back at the sacred city where the fountain is located, Julie undergoes the ritual Taarna did in the first film and is outfitted in skimpy armor. Along with her sister, and Germaine, the three help fend off Tyler's army, although they are unable to keep the forces from breaking through after the elder of the city is assassinated. Just as he activates the fountain's lock, Tyler is confronted by Julie one last time and they fight. Tyler appears to have the upper hand, until Odin intervenes and is injured, giving Julie time to viciously tear into Tyler, who shrivels up after failing to take another of his ampules. Odin then reveals himself to be the last of the race of creatures responsible for creating the fountain, and mocks Julie and Tyler for helping him get this far. When it seems all hope is lost, Zeek takes fate into his own hands and pulls the Loc-Nar from its pedestal, sealing Odin behind inside the fountain and sending himself into the depths of space.
The film closes with Julie being helped out by Germaine and Kerrie, while an ending monologue is delivered by Zeek, confirming the stone is safe in his care against evil forces that may come to seek it again.

I watched the original Heavy Metal back in the 80s and still have most of the comics. When Heavy Metal 2000 came out I had such high expectations that I was let down by it. I still like it but it will never achieve the cult status that the original has.

I see how you mean. On other hand though. Sometimes Heavy Metal Magazine did have these occaisional longer, more down to earth narrative arcs, which often spanned multiple issues, as opposed to the usual shorter self contained often more surreal if flat experimental ones which the first movie better represented. I think having the mix of both gave the zine a nice balance. I can see why some fans of the campy and bizzare original might consider this one more generic typical space opera fare though.

I like to think Tyler was a decent guy before that green shard messed him up. I heard a theory that it's somehow connected to the Loc-nar from the original movie.

[@skullmaister]

Apparently it is the Loc-nar or at least a fragment of it?

[@emeraldtabbycat148]

​@@skullmaister I mean the Loc-Nar itself did say it was the sum of all evils, so...

[@protorhinocerator142]

This was a bad idea from start to finish. In 2000, Heavy Metal magazine was no longer the cult classic it was in 1980. Heavy metal music was no longer as popular or cutting edge as it was in 1980. They should have made a follow-up movie around 1984 and used a whole different format. HM2K just wasn't as good. In the original, the movie drew inspiration from several different stories that were already popularized in the magazine. They stitched it all together using the Loc-nar, a mystical orb of great power and evil, that united the stories enough to suspend disbelief. They then added a killer soundtrack with a veritable who's who of music groups at the time. Many groups went out of their way to make music just for this movie. Most notably, Sammy Hagar sang about events in the segment about Tarna. He must have seen an advanced copy of the film to write that song. Also Blue Oyster Cult made a whole album full of auditions for the movie, and one made it in. HM2K was all centered on one forgettable story line about some extreme biker chick who goes around wasting bad guys for some reason. The music wasn't that great. None of it was really memorable. It was just there. I was excited that they made a "sequel", but it had nothing to do with the original. If it had a different name, nobody would connect it back to the original HM. I don't even recall any humor in it either. In the original, the segment about Capt. Lincoln F. Stern was funny and destructive. Also the Den segment was funny. It was a much more enjoyable movie. I've got a good analogy for you. Lord of the Rings. You watched it, you loved it, you laughed, you cried. Super epic movie trilogy. Then they made The Hobbit prequels. They kinda looked like LOTR. They dressed and talked like characters in LOTR. It just wasn't the same though. HM2K is even more of a deviation from the original, and more of a let down. I just noticed another thing. The animation seems very GI Joe, 1990's X-Men, or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The original used a more distinct animation style, with a lot of rotoscope animation, which is time consuming but produces startling results. Bomber scene: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaWrYY18a9pjfsU Corvette scene: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYDNn5hops52aqs The old Flash Gordon cartoon used rotoscoping, but that's about the only mainstream show I can think of. It makes for a stunning visual effect, especially in the days before CGI. The original HM has a distinctive look and feel, but HM2K feels very generic. If you've not seen it, don't buy the DVD. Watch this video and see if it thrills you. If not, you won't get much more from the whole thing.

II watched it today on Amazon Prime. I find it as an okay time waster. It's nowhere as good as Heavy Metal (which I have on DVD), but I don't mind it too much. The original will always be superior to Heavy Metal 2000. If they just call it F.A.K.K. 2 instead of Heavy Metal 2000, then it would be good on it's own.

[@ShadowSonic2]

I think the story for this movie WAS from one of the old magazines.

Heavy metal is a comic. Contrast to popular belief it does NOT have to follow after the first film, nor will it. It is many different stories, and will continue to be that way.
