I can see why this has become a cult film with its mix of public access cable show production values and teenage headbangers drinking and smoking. See more 12/02/2019 A mini documentary capturing the enthusiasm of Judas Priest fans in the US. Really simple and the soundtrack is only some of the band's radio friendly hits with the more american sound. See more 07/09/2016 I don't understand why this movie is so talked about. It just moves from one drunk, drugged out person to another, and then it ends. I feel that movies about niche arts/activities should kindle some sort of curiosity or interest in outsiders, but this did nothing of the kind for me. On the contrary I was revolted and put off by the people in the video. You don't get the sense from this that metal fans may come in different shapes and sizes - this short seems to suggest that they are all the same.

I am a diehard metalhead, and the metal attitude that most fans possess nowadays is so far from what it used to be. Watching this, you realize how much fun fans of the music had, and how everything else seemed trivial. 80's metalheads were having fun, and it was about the music. Nowadays, the scene seems a bit divided and it's kind of sad. Nonetheless, Heavy Metal Parking Lot is a brilliant portrait of what the scene used to be.
