Title:
Detroit Rock City
Synopsis:
In Cleveland, Ohio, 1978, a middle-aged woman (Lin Shaye) rests in her home and plays a vinyl. While sipping a red wine and reading while humming The Carpenters’ ”Rainy Days and Mondays”, she trembles and becomes agitated as rock music plays. When she discovers the vinyl being KISS’ Destroyer album and a secret cache of KISS albums, she is revealed to be ultra-conservative when she says ”KISS, the devils music” and wrecks a mess. She then leaves the house.
Meanwhile, four teenage boys in a KISS cover band named ”Mystery” practice the KISS song ”Rock and Roll All Nite” in one of their members’ homes. The cover band, consisting of guitarist-vocalist Hawk (Edward Furlong), bassist-vocalist Lex (Giuseppe Andrews), lead guitarist-vocalist Trip (James DeBello), and drummer-vocalist Jamie ”Jam” Bruce (Sam Huntington), become elated to have tickets to see their idols in Detroit the following night. Later, the same woman from the beginning, races up to the house where the boys are hanging out and drags Jam home. She is revealed to be Jam’s mother, Mrs. Bruce. Later discovering the tickets, Mrs. Bruce destroys them and has Jam transferred to a Catholic boarding school.
The three remaining boys hear a radio contest for tickets to the show and Trip ends up winning the tickets. The boys then plan to rescue Jam from the boarding school. Under the guise of pizza delivery for one of the students (possibly Jam) and a Catholic priest who serves as the school chaplain and rector, the boys place some hallucinogen mushrooms on a slice of the pizza ordered. When the priest interviews Jam, the three boys deliver the pizza and succeed in drugging priest. With the priest drugged, he tells Jam that he can leave and the boys sneak him (Jam) out. With the group reunited, they set off for Detroit in Lex’s mother’s car.
On the freeway, Trip throws a slice of pizza out of the window, where it hits the windshield of a Trans Am, driven by two rude Disco fanatics, Kenny and Bobby, along with their girlfriends Christine (Natasha Lyonne) and Barbara (Emmanuelle Chriqui). The enraged Kenny forces the station wagon off the road, pulls Hawk out of the car, and rubs his face on the cheese-covered windshield. Upset by Kenny’s behavior, Christine leaves.
Using improvised weapons like a belt with a KISS buckle, a wallet chain, and drumsticks, the four boys engage in a fight with Kenny and Bobby. Trip, Lex, Jam, and Hawk win and, after leaving Kenny and Bobby tied to the guardrail with KISS makeup on, they drive the Trans Am into a ditch. Continuing on their way, they come upon Christine and offer her a ride to the city.
Upon arrival, the group discovers that Trip did not stay on the phone long enough to give the radio station his information, forcing the station to give the tickets to the next caller. Back outside, Lex notices that the car has been stolen. They suspect Christine, who they left in the car. Hawk then suggests that the boys go their separate ways in order to find KISS tickets, and agree to meet in the same place in an hour and a half.
Hawk finds a scalper who suggests that he enter a strip contest to raise money for tickets. Hawk doesn’t win, but is offered payment for his company by an older woman (Shannon Tweed). They go to her car and she takes his virginity. Using the money she gave him, Hawk locates the scalper. However the scalper is sold out.
Trip goes to a local convenience store in the hopes of mugging a younger child. He grabs a kid in Ace Frehley’s Spaceman makeup, not knowing that the kid has a bullying older brother, Chongo. Suddenly, Chongo and his friends threaten to beat Trip if he doesn’t give them two hundred dollars. Trip then plans to rob the convenience store with a fake gun, but ends up thwarting a real robbery attempt at the store. He earns a one hundred and fifty dollar reward. Trip encounters Chongo and his friends in an alleyway behind the store and discovers his wallet is stolen.
Lex sneaks backstage with the KISS loading crew, but is soon discovered. He is subsequently tossed over a fence where a group of vicious dogs menace him, but wins them over. In a nearby building, he discovers a chained-up Christine and his mother’s car in a chop shop with two car thieves. Lex then uses his newly befriended dogs to chase the two thugs, saving Christine and his mom’s car. Lex and Christine share a passionate kiss.
Jam encounters an anti-KISS rally consisting of conservatives named ”MOTHERS AGAINST THE MUSIC OF KISS” being booed by passing crowds. When he discovers his mother leading the rally alongside another conservative (played by KISS frontman Paul Stanley’s then wife Pamela Bowen), Mrs. Bruce spots him. She forcibly grabs and takes him to a nearby church across the street for confession, taking away his drumsticks.
He is seen by Beth (Melanie Lynskey), a girl from school who is in the process of moving to Ann Arbor, Michigan. They rush into confessional booth where Beth reveals that she’s been in love with Jam since freshman year. Jam admits that his feelings for her are mutual and they make love. They leave the church and eventually say goodbye.
Jam, imbued with new confidence, goes back to the rally and angrily berates his mother for her domineering ways and her hypocrisy. When he demands his drumsticks back, Mrs. Bruce, overcome with his confidence, atones for her misunderstandings. She picks them up from a dustbin, and reveals she was sorry that she broke them and Jams thanks her. Ashamed of what she has done, and seeing the reality in her son with a light heart and change in mind, Mrs. Bruce, with new confidence, orders the rally to stop and they join forces with KISS fans.
When the boys meet up again, they beat each other up to make it appear that they had been mugged. Upon arrival at the concert venue, the guards are skeptical. Suddenly Trip points out Chongo and his friends, who are just entering the concert hall, as the culprits. When the guards find Trip’s wallet (with his KISS Army picture ID and money), they take away Chongo and his friends and return Trip his belongings.
Astonished and elated, the boys enter the concert hall as KISS plays the title song of the film. As the song ends, drummer Peter Criss throws a drumstick and Jam catches it with joy and excitement.Loc.1804151106
