Description:
Bands make it rock, but roadies make it roll! Meat Loaf stars in this rollicking (Variety)road film featuring incredible live performances by Alice Cooper, Blondie, Roy Orbison, Hank Williams, Jr., and Asleep at the Wheel! Down-home Texas boy Travis Redfish (Meat Loaf) falls hard for Lola, a glitter-spangled groupie determined to lose her virginity to Alice Cooper. Hoping to woo her, Travis signs on with a traveling rock band and soon finds himself celebrated as the greatest roadie of all time ! But Lola's date with destiny (and Cooper) looms. Can true love survive rock 'n roll?

One the strangest musical curiosities of the 1980s, Roadie stars Meat Loaf as a good ol' Texas boy who turns himself into the world's greatest roadie to win the heart of a teen-age groupie (Kaki Hunter). She, however, is obsessed with Alice Cooper, just one of the musical guest stars in this rock & roll road movie farce. Meat Loaf single-handedly saves concerts by Hank Williams Jr. and Roy Orbison (who duet on "The Eyes of Texas") and Blondie (who crank up "Ring of Fire") as well. Directed by Alan Rudolph, from a slapdash story he co-wrote with producer Zalman King (which surely qualifies as one of the most unlikely creative partnerships in film history), this high-energy cinematic jam is a raucous, disjointed goof. But only the comedy is played out of key. The music rocks. --Sean Axmaker

You may have seen Meat Loaf in another Musical Comedy The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Roadie is your typical early 80's mad-cap comedy with bar fights, car chase scenes, and chessy dialogue.
Meat Loaf is the main character who upon seeing a young groupie falls in love with her and becomes an accidental Roadie for big acts such as Hank Williams Jr., Blondie, and Alice Cooper.
What makes this movie great is chance to see some of these HUGE musical acts of the ... Read More

For it's time, Roadie is a great movie in itself. it's funny, sexy, and filled with alot of classic rock. Great cammeo's by Hank Williams Jr. and Roy Orbison to name a couple. Jr. sings Outlaw Women at a bar Redfish (Meat Loaf) set's up at.
The story is Hank Williams Jr.'s road crew breaks down on the side of a Texas road. A pretty woman hitching a ride steps out and catch's Redfish's eye. Two numb skulls diving the truck has no clue what's wrong. When Redfish offers to help, Lola (the ... Read More

From the ambulatory phone booth to a candlelight dinner with The Snake, this just tickled my funny bone. Art Carney was great, and I loved Meat Loaf as the star-crossed lover. Yes, it's cheap, yes, it's campy, but I have been looking for the damn thing for like 20 years, and I am SO happy they finally re-released it. For years all I had was the soundtrack, which is quite good- look at all the musicians in the darn movie! Ooohhh, I'm drivin' my life away....

Truly atrocious! Avoid it. It has no plot and it's cheap. Meatloaf, known for being a charming, funny and charismatic artist, is just like a lazy, unispired big sack o'coal in this one. And it's booooooring!

It has been a while since I have seen this movie. I will never forget when it came out I ended up seeing it like, five times in one year.
The movie is great, but what makes it is Kaki. Too bad she retired from acting, but I am sure after all those Porky movies she was exhausted.
My fave line in the whole movie is by Lola:
"I'll eat chili till I DIE.!!!!!!!"
Thanks.
