Trivia:
On the exterior wall of the women's nightclub "It's Raining Men", above the red entrance awning, there is a larger-than-life picture of a well-built naked man with a glowing, glittering star covering "the goods". The head on this cutout is that of director Adam Rifkin. This is his cameo in the film, as actually acting in front of the camera would have violated the terms of his work visa (the film was shot in Canada). more
Goofs:
Continuity: When Hawk gets his first bourbon in the strip club, it has a lime. While conversing with the bartender, it disappears. When he raises his glass to Amanda Finch, it is on the glass again. more
Quotes:
Hawk:
[three Stellas are walking by] I wish somebody would tell these girls that *DISCO'S DEAD!*
Stella 1:
Don't stare too long, boys, you'll go blind!
Lex:
Yeah, right! Stellas. I hate Stellas almost as much as I hate dogs.
Trip:
Yeah, man. Same species when you stop to think about it, man!

I liked detroit rock city for one reason and one reason only. I am a metal fan and this movie brought to the big screen the adrenalin fueled craziness that is Kiss and hard rock music in general. Anybody looking for "depth" in this, has the wrong movie. I like all types of movies and sometimes I like my movies deep. But not all the time. Sometimes I want to smile. Sometimes I want to be entertained. This movie does that and it does that well.
I think the bottom line is, if you are a Kiss fan or fan of hard rock in general you will love this. If you are not such a fan, but still open to movies where the sole purpose is to entertain you may like it. But if you hate Kiss or have no interest in their type of music in general your more likely to have no particular interest in this. Me, I thought it was great! Kiss forever! Rock and Roll all night!
