Am I wrong or was Sammy Hagar's song "Heavy Metal" used for the original theatrical release but replaced on the VHS and DVD release? I seem to remember that song for the opening sequence, but its been replaced by some other (really crappy) song for the home versions of the movie. If this is the case (needs confirmation first), we should add the info to the article. — Frecklefoot | Talk 14:21, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
The music and/or soundtrack to this movie was a big deal, but there is no mention of it in the article. WikiDon 15:48, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
I am trying to locate the article that detailed the "copyright" issues that delayed the release of this movie. The gist of it was that the studio didn't really care to do the work to find who held the rights to the various songs and without the rights they couldn't release the movie on video or DVD. A fan, who happened to be an attorney, tracked down the holders of the rights to the songs, got them all to sign releases and then he took the releases to the studio and handed them over which eliminated the stumbling block.
Now if I could get him to do that for WKRP so that we could have it with the original music and lines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mercwyn (talk • contribs) 18:05, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
Just picked up the LP of Heavy Metal: The Score and noted the typo of Taarna's name on the album cover. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hotgardener (talk • contribs) 19:12, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
I believe (possibly the "Grimaldi" mentioned in the credits) can be removed. The closing credits clearly list two voice actors for the opening sequence, one character is named Grimaldi.--RedKnight 02:50, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Whoever wrote the sentence below clearly needs to clean it up. There are incomplete thoughts and an abundance of missing parentheses. Kwyjibear 04:06, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Fiste takes the stand, but his perjury is subverted when the Loc-Nar (in his possession and currently the size of a marble). It can be argued that the people on the station are giants since the Loc-Nar stays the same size all the way through except for this segment.) forces him to blurt out the truth about Sternn's evil deeds until he angrily denounces Sternn to the point of suggesting gruesome execution methods (Hanging's too good for him! Burning's too good for him! He should be torn into little-bitsy pieces and buried alive!).

Why do we need the paragraph in the lede about the attempt to make a film of Burning Chrome? It is in no way relevant to this article or this topic. It might be interesting as a brief note in the article about that book, but it is irrelevant here. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 03:29, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
It's Cthulu spelled backwards. That can't be a coincidence, but I'm wondering if it still counts as original research. Should we link it to the Cthulu article? Briham (talk) 15:27, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Should there be a link to the Heavy Metal Magazine Fan Page? I think there should be for these reasons: This link provides useful information with a movie synopsis, screenshots, release dates, trailer link, detailed DVD info, credits, a review, and additional information with history on how the movie came to be. A lot of this information is hard to find/unique to this link or expands on the information. -Lostboy- (talk) 01:44, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
Why do we need the individual songs listed by segment as well as in the soundtrack? If no one objects, I will remove the songs from the plot section. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 14:06, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
There's something seriously wrong with you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.171.176.11 (talk) 03:55, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
I thank the commenters above, and very much appreciate the listing of the songs with each segment. There are two problems I can see, however: Viewing the youtube.com clips that appear to be unmodified (careful-some have their own soundtracks added), I cannot find the Sammy Hagar version of Heavy Metal playing during the "nyborg" sequence. I do find the Hagar version playing during the next-to-last Taarna sequence. Can someone with a bona fide copy, or watching a bona fide copy verify this and make the corrections if appropriate? -Thx. 24.130.80.5 (talk) 06:10, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

"Heavy Metal may be the canonical example of a popular film or album that was unavailable to consumers for a long time for obscure reasons, despite popular acclaim or success." - Doesn't really make sense (canonical, etc.?). Cut it? 50.54.239.191 (talk) 01:15, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

S12E03 of South Park entitled "Major Boobage" had a great parody of the film. It's a drug induced hallucination of Kenny. Does that warrant mentioning in this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimindc (talk • contribs) 05:04, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
