description
Detective Block is an ex-hippie who became a policeman and is investigating a strange serial killer by name Trojan. The criminal is instilling fear into the New York musical world, especially punk and heavy metal rock singers whose marketing is based on an exuberant mane of hair. Trojan kills them and steals the hair, thus modernizing the popular native-American practice of scalping. The chase leads Block to cover beauty product stores and obscure rock clubs, and takes him back to the time when he was known as Sunrise and lost his wife on a trip on acid. This is a mix of thriller and comedy that ironizes the Hollywood cinematographic formulas, with references to pop culture and to American musicals, in a unique camp style. Very special participations add a final touch to the plot: actor Frank Gorshin who became famous as the villain Charade in the original version of the Batman TV serial, musicians Joey Ramone and Sebastian Bach, in addition to the performances of groups such as Biohazard, Mars Needs Women, The Last Hard Men, and others.
O detetive Block é um ex-hippie, que se tornou policial, e está investigando um estranho serial-killer, chamado Trojan. O criminoso está apavorando o meio musical nova-iorquino, principalmente os roqueiros punks e metaleiros, cujo marketing se baseia nas suas exuberantes cabeleiras. Trojan os mata e rouba seus cabelos, modernizando assim a popular prática indígena norte-americana do escalpo. A perseguição leva Block a percorrer lojas de produtos de beleza e obscuros clubes de rock, recordando os tempos em que se chamava Sunrise e perdeu sua mulher numa viagem de ácido. Um misto de thriller e comédia, que ironiza as fórmulas cinematográficas de Hollywood, com referências à cultura pop e musical americanas, em um inusitado estilo camp. Participações muito especiais dão o toque final ao enredo: o ator Frank Gorshin, que ficou famoso como o vilão Charada na versão original do seriado Batman para a TV; os músicos Joey Ramone e Sebastian Bach, além das performances de grupos como Biohazard, Mars Needs Women, The Last Hard Men e outros.
