Trailer—Vicious Lips

Vicious Lips

This 1986 sci-fi film takes place in the future where ambitious, female singer, Judy (Dru-Anne Perry) becomes the lead singer of amateur band, "Vicious Lips" and they head across the galaxy to their first gig, but become stranded on a desert planet with an escaped, killer beast. This is a bizarre 80's flick with some cheesy acting, neat creature/make-up effects & obvious nods to "Star Wars" & "Blade Runner." If you like 80's music & big hair or Sci-fi/B movies, give this a try.

Vicious Lips is like a wild but bad trip - without doubt the movie is one of a few but the reasons why you should watch this movie are not the story nor the acting or that wild mix of a story (a little Rocky Horror Picture Show shining through): watch this wonder if you want 80s hairstyle galore, listening to 80s rock music a la Heart (the band who got some fame in the 80s) and 80s fashion with all its unique but terrible taste. Last but not least, director Albert Pyun is responsible for this "gem" - I know and like mostly his post-apocalyptic trash gems like Cyborg (van Damme!), Omega Doom (Rutger Hauer) and Radioactive Dreams (Michael Dudikoff). My exact rate for Vicious Lips is 3 + 1 for all those happy memories of the 80s evoked by this work of trash and the few moments of horror added.

Great actor he reminds me of a few different people. Sad to say it was his only film. He in my opinion should have been a big star Lead singer girl has nice teeth

This movie is totally underrated. I found it to be quite entertaining. I have never watched any movies by this director before, but if people say this is his worst movie I will have to watch some off his other movies, because I think this movie was great. In my opion the actors did a great job in their roles and the plot was laid out brilliantly.

Some of this was amazing, cheesy 80's hair/music/effects but the overall movie was a confused jumble of nonsense with no real storyline or plot. Great songs, but the stuff on the ship goes on forever and leads nowhere. Still worth checking out, but hardly a lost classic.

Well Well Well. what a juicy 80s movie. kickin soundtrack, actings alright. ITS AN ALL GIRL BAND MOVIE, going to a gig, in outer space. The songs are pretty damn catchy. they are frequent within the soundtrack. What more do you want from a movie? Why isn't this (and all Albert pyun movies) on the syfy channel? seriously underrated and under watched. i recommend other pyun movies too. a space Alice in wonderland. if Alice was in a band. sfx are good. some cool looking monsters and puppetry. hair is 80s. some neon showing here and there. if you like this sort of thing, 'bad channels' and 'critters' make great 80s music/space movies.

A bit like if Pitch Black were filmed in the 80s, made no sense, was about a female rock band and rubbish. Some of the songs are good but the background music playing on a loop is deeply annoying and the cast just keep on repeating the same lines over and over. There is about two sentences of plot in the entire thing. Overall this collection of clips and songs is barely a movie, it is stylised for sure, but that is really all it has. It's an extended 80s music video and nothing else. If you like that type of thing then great, for everyone else it's a pass.
