Synopsis

The Lightning Bug has a multi-prong scheme to enslave the earth. First, rock and roll, which the JMen counter with Muzac, then marijuana. Finally, the JMen build a bomb to blow up the moon with, but the Bug beats them to it by self destructing the moon by playing his rock and roll too loud.

RalphNumbers How many WTF moments have you experienced with your teevee? One of mine occurred on a Sunday morning the spring of '92, accidentally intercepted a "Ren & Stimpy" episode. My other WTF moment was well after midnight ten years earlier, sneaked some cable behind my parents' backs and caught one of Night Flight's "J-Men Forever" broadcasts. My prank phone calls never were the same, baby."J-Men" is the trippy '70s drug comedy supreme. Prior to "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" and "MST3K," decades before Spike dubbed Japanese game shows, the Firesign Theatre guys went berserk with a pile of Republic serials. The result inexplicably works far better than it should, hilarity ensues and you don't even need to be stoned.Especially amazing is the legendary MGK's performance as The Bug. WARNING: You'll begin talking like him after your second viewing.The movie's now available on DVD, so toss your ratty VHS copies in the trash. Invite delinquent friends, have a "J-Men" party. Just remember to dial *67 before you begin the prank calls. Lots of WTFs to go around.
gnomesrus Will someone who knows Firesign Theatre please tell them that if this video is not released on VHS (even better DVD), I'll throw myself off that cliff in the movie. I have such great memories of this from the 70's when no one knew what the USA network was. Only FS could come up with such great plot lines and take the time to edit this film. I have a copy...but it's getting old...like me.
Hoss-8 Anyone who is familiar with the old serials would be familiar with the characters used in this film. Commando Cody becomes Bullethead. Captain America is known as lone star. Captain Marvel and other heroes also appear. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes odd humor.
Scot-6 Indescribably hilarious! Firesign alum perfectly spliced into clips from old serials, adding new dialogue. Learn about the evils of Drugs and Rock & Roll!It's criminal that this movie isn't available on video!!!
