Heavy Metal is a 1981 Canadian fantasy-animated film directed by Gerald Potterton and produced by Ivan Reitman and Leonard Mogel, who also was the publisher of Heavy Metal magazine, the basis for the film. The screenplay was written by Daniel Goldberg and Len Blum.
The film is an anthology of various science fiction and fantasy stories adapted from Heavy Metal magazine and original stories in the same spirit. Like the magazine, it has a great deal of graphic violence, nudity, and sexuality. Its production was expedited by having several animation houses working simultaneously on different segments, including CinéGroupe and Atkinson Film-Arts.
A stand-alone homage titled Heavy Metal 2000 was released in 2000.
The movie's title sequence story (based on the original story by Dan O'Bannon and art by Thomas Warkentin) opens with a space shuttle flying in orbit over Earth. The bay doors (on the belly of the shuttle) open, releasing a 1960 Corvette. An astronaut seated in the Corvette then begins descending through Earth's atmosphere, landing in a desert canyon.
Plot
The owner of a small-town junkyard offers a cash reward to whomever can kill her uninvited, space-suited alien guest when its spacecraft crash-lands into her barn. Every wacko within 100 miles turns out, and before long, the junkyard is transformed into a war zone of man vs. man vs. machine vs. alien vs. God only knows what.

Can you feel the power of this song
The energy it is giving you
Brothers united in mind
Cause Metal is our law.
HEAVY METAL is our law
HEAVY METAL we are proud and standing tall / we'll never fall
HEAVY METAL is what we feel
HEAVY METAL harder than steel
Proud 'n Free like will of steel
Our hearts are as pure as the silence of a night
We are brothers of METAL united in fight
Cause METAL is our law
Listen to your hearts they don't defraud you
This shall be our fighting song
Even the world is black and hope gets lost
We'll stand together until the end of time
Our life belongs to Heavy Metal
Our fight applies to its enemies
We'll fight for our right
Now all the secrets of old age
They tell us we should really stop
They implore us oh
They should adore us oh
It's been a year and now we find
We're lost behind enemy lines
They're gunning for us oh
But they never even met us oh
What happened to our heavy metal?
What happened to our coat of arms?
We find that we're stuck in the middle
Picking up the pieces of our hearts
And there will be no comfort
For all that we have lost
The actors seemed so happy
But somehow ended all washed up
What happened to our heavy metal?
What happened to our coat of arms?
We find that we're stuck in the middle
Heavy metal
Since I was a young boy , I saw metal bands in big halls
They came down to play in town, I went to see their shows
Metal Heroes on stage, they've come to bring us rock
Well, it's more than a religion and since then it's our law
Metal put as all together, now we are so strong
Now showing the whole world, we're friends forever, on and on
So it's not important where you live or where you're from
We will stand together till we are all gone
HEAVY METAL THAT'S OUR LAW
GIVES US POWER FOR THE FUTURE
FOR US IT'S THE ONLY REAL
WAY TO LIVE AND DIE
HEAVY METAL THAT'S OUR LAW
AND I SWEAR FOR EVER LONG
IT'S IN OUR VEINS AND HEARTS
AND WE'LL NEVER BE LOST
So my biggest dream came true, I only wanna rock
Up on every stage to play, from Berlin to L.A.
So quickly I realized, without fans we can't exist
'Cause they will stand by our side in good times or in bad
Thanx from all the metal bands, all over the whole world
Without you and your power, we are nothing here on stage
'Cause fans are our air to breathe, the motor for our work
When the power chords come crashing down
go tearing through my sense
It¹s for the strong, not for the weak
In light and dark dimension
It stimulates, regenerates
It¹s therapeutic healing
It lifts our feet up off the ground
and blasts us through the ceiling
Between the eyes
I hear it screaming
And it electrifies
Your inner feelings
Hot shock waves charge the air
All heads are banging
Fists pumping everywhere
Guitars are cranking
Heavy metal. Heavy metal
What do you want
Heavy metal. Heavy metal
What do you want
Ten thousands lights come
blazing down
With razor sharp precision
The speakers pour out molten steel
The beat gives double vision
An armour plated raging beast
That¹s born of steel and leather
It will survive against all odds
Stampeding on forever
Between the eyes
I hear it screaming
And it electrifies
Your inner feelings
Hot shock waves charge the air
All heads are banging
Fists pumping everywhere
Guitars are cranking
Heavy metal. Heavy metal
What do you want
Heavy metal. Heavy metal
Guerra de audiencias no puedes entrar
No aguantan mis canciones no aceptarán
Ese silencio en los medios
Me vuelve loco con su desprecio
Sigo aguantando vendiendo lo que puedo
Con el apoyo de sólo un par de huevos
No hay cadenas en mis manos
Simplemente hablo claro
La música que hago es Heavy Metal
Asà es el mundo no me pisarán
Que se jodan que aun sigo yo aquÃ
Tocando las narices no me detendrán
Sin un pavo he de sobrevivir
Estoy cansado de ver siempre lo mismo
Unas caras guapas mostrando ignorancia
No hay cadenas en mis manos
Simplemente hablo claro
La música que hago es Heavy Metal
Hoy me levanto no puedo esperar
Esta es mi vida y quiero llegar
No me planteo si pierdo el tiempo
Vida voy dando y disfruto tocando
Aunque me frenes o intentes calumniar
Este es mi modo, no lo puedes parar
No hay cadenas en mis manos
Simplemente hablo claro
La música que hago es Heavy Metal
No hay cadenas en mis manos
Simplemente hablo claro
La música que hago es Heavy Metal
For quite a while they ignored our rockin' ways
But we fight with naked fist
To revivive those metal dayz...
Prepare to thrash, to dive and bash!
Heavy Metal!
Check the drums and plug in the Marshalls
Are ya ready for sex, beer and metal?
Studs and sluts and leather jackets
This ain't no place for 'pony-tail' faggots
Obey to the noise, we feel the adrenalin inside
All that God forbid
We'll be practicing tonight
Too drunk to fuck, provoking luck!
Heavy Metal!
The crowd's going mad with bangin' and slamdance
Flung into the ground, will someone call an ambulance?
Smell the odor of sweat and vomit
Our legions run to victory
Riding with horses made of steel
Fighting for power and glory
In the name of
[Chorus:]
Heavy metal
We live for
Heavy metal
We scream for
Metal thunder hits your brain
And the Devil flows in veins
To break the silence
And face the fear
Heavy metal will set you free
When the fire meets the steel
In the face of the devil I scream
Long live to metal
Er faßte mir ans Knie in einer Bildergalerie.
Er hatte Kunst studiert und war tätowiert.
"Hey Baby, alles klar", er schüttelte sein langes Haar.
Ich nahm ihn mit zu mir, er war ein Tier,
Doch schon am Morgen zerbrach unser Glück,
Nur diese klein Nachricht ließ er mir zurück:
Refrain1:
Ich steh' auf Heavy Metal
Schrieb er auf einen Zettel.
Meine Gitarre ist meine Braut,
Unsere Liebe ist auf Sand gebaut.
Ich rief ihn wieder an, ob man's nicht nochmal machen kann,
Wir hörten Popmusik, das fand ich schick.
Mir wurde richtig heiß, da gab er sein Geheimnis preis,
"Wenn ich kein Metal krich, dann kann ich nich'".
Wir hörten Scorpions und Iron Maiden,
Am nächsten Morgen wollt' ich nicht mal mehr
Mit ihm reden.
Refrain 2:
Du stehst auf Heavy Metal,
Schrieb ich auf einen Zettel.
Deine Gitarre ist Deine Braut
Und mir war's sowieso zu laut.
Somedays I think this old machine is out to get me
Somedays she does what I tell her
It's like dancing with a widow-maker forty hours a week
You know I'm talkin' 'bout a big ol' D-10 caterpiller
Chorus
I don't know why I like to drive 'em like I do
It ain't nothin' but a hundred seventy-five thousand pounds of steel
Could be the money babe could be the power
Could be I love the way it feels
Could be I love the way it feels
But you know she's mighty unforgivin' so you got to pay attention
You know the D-10 can be the death of you
But I get her all fired up and I can feel it in my soul
And it's hard to tell who's drivin' who
I can move Alaska all the way to Beirut
I can bulldoze a beeline from here to Peru
I can push the Rocky Mountains into the sea
You know Heavy metal don't mean rock and roll to me
You know I'm a modern day mule skinner drivin' ten thousand mules
So I got to say a little prayer every day
Lord just let me get her turned around
Without fallin' off this mountain
You know the boss don't like me treatin' his D-10 that way
Chorus
Say you like
Calm down that politely asking you moon
.your side
.finger it's trapped round you
Hhm darling
Just tell what you need
I say i don't care if you do
You can fall fighting you
Darling don't know how
So come alone
Come alone there's no heart passing through and .now
I don't like collect who's collecting you
Well i know
It's coming after me
Where's surrounded by .telling you
You're looking for a .
Darling i don't know how
You and thoughts i'm waiting in the.and i don't know how
You.i'm waiting around and don't know how
Darling i don't know how
You and thoughts i'm waiting in the.and i don't know how
You still believe...
I'm waiting around and don't know how
You still believe...
[Prelude:]
Pounding hearts calling, like a storm from the north.
I will obey to my sworn oath.
Like warriors are waiting for the Battle,
True Heroes play Heavy Metal!
[Strophe 1:]
Coming out of darkness, powerfull like a fortress.
Glorious and raw.
Wearing spikes and leather, standing proud together.
Fight against the law.
Pounding like the Thunder, never we surrender.
Look inside our eyes.
Strong unification in the Heavy Metal nation,
for my Brothers I would die!
[Bridge:]
All together we are one, but the false we can't forgive.
We are bound by truth and faith, forever we shall live.
[Chorus:]
Heavy Metal
Our Strength and our Religion
Heavy Metal
The meaning of our Lives.
Heavy Metal
We're rebels with a vision.
Heavy Metal
We will keep on fighting till the end.
Until the end.
[Strophe 2:]
Some people laughing at us and even might ignore us,
but at the end they'll see:
Their trends they're living are a fuckin lie.
Hail to MAJESTY
All the clubs of Metal, Brothers in the Battle,
fighting loud and proud.
All the Fanzine writers are Heavy Metal Fighters.
We salute the Underground!
[repeat Bridge]
[repeat Chorus]
[Solo: Ross The Boss]
[repeat Chorus]
Heavy Metal lives in me
If you don’t like it,
FUCK YOU !
Law of the gutter
Law of the street
Law of the broken ones
and the strong who planted seeds
we will succeed !
So let’s join forces
So let’s join heat
So let’s create a union
the time has come to bleed
So take my hand
Power is us to be
Let’s make a stand
for all to see
Heavy Metal lives in me
Can’t you hear me calling
they tried to reach for me
they tried to wash my brain
but they can never break my spirit
before …
I`d go insane
So take my hand
power is us to be
let’s make a stand
for all to see
Yeahhhhhhhhh…
Heavy Metal lives in me
Can’t you hear me calling
Heavy Metal lives in me
You wont see us falling
For all to see yeahhhh
If you don’t like it
Head bangers in leather
Sparks flyin' in the dead of the night
It all comes together
When they shoot out the lights
50,000 watts of power
And it's pushin' overload
The beast is ready to devour
All the metal they can hold
Reachin' overload
Start to explode
It's your one way ticket to midnight
Call it heavy metal
Higher than high, feelin' just right
Call it heavy metal
Desperation on a red line
Call it heavy metal noise
Tight pants and lipstick
She's riding on a razor's edge
She holds her own against the boys
Yeah, cuts through the crowd just like a wedge
Ooh, can you feel the static?
So many contacts bein' made
We've got up front fanatics
Tearin' down the barricade
To reach the stage
Can you feel the rage?
It's your one way ticket to midnight
Call it heavy metal
Higher than high, feelin' just right
Call it heavy metal
Desperation on a red line
Call it heavy metal noise
It's your one way ticket to midnight
Call it heavy metal
Higher than high, feelin' just right
Call it heavy metal
Desperation on a red line
Call it heavy metal
Higher than high, feelin' just right
Call it heavy metal noise
Heavy metal noise
Heavy metal noise
Heavy metal noise
Call it heavy metal
