Description

Take a trip back to a time when rock ruled the world, with this mind-blowing, magical musical that's "a camp lover's delight" (American Cinematheque)! Deliciously decadent and exploding with glitter and glam, The Apple is a psychedelic sci-fi feast for the senses! When folk singers Alphie and Bibi enter the World Vision song contest, their wholesome appeal catches the evil eye of music mogul Mr. Boogalow, a Faustian fiend who promises the pair fame and fortune. Seduced byBoogalow's devilish denizens, Bibi surrenders her soul and soon becomes a superstar and a pawn in Boogalow's plot to take over the planet with the power of pop music! Now, Alphie must free Bibi from Boogalow and save the world from rock-and-roll ruin!

    • Humor. satire, song & dance, in a rock opera format.
I've liked this clever film enormously since it first came out in 1980. I've also read all the bad reviews which said it's awful, a bomb, "so bad it's good"! Just another indication that Americans have lost their sense of humor, and are too dimwitted to understand satire anymore. OF COURSE the "acting is bad"- it's because this is a parody in rock opera form; NO ONE in the film is taking this seriously; albeit, there is a quasi-serious message, which you may or may not agree with, but it's there nonetheless: Big powerful evil guys, in the form of giant coporations, great wealth, power & fame, can seduce you and win for awhile, but goodness, virture, and simplicity will win in the end. Your basic "the meek shall inherit the Earth philosophy"! Agree, don't agree, it's there anyway, and yet given in a casual, non-serious, playful, song & dance way. It is all very cute, put together intelligently, with double entendres and symbolism everywhere that the producers literally beat you over the head with, with tongue in cheek! But SO-O-O many people that have seen this movie have dismissed it too quickly and simply not gotten its cleverness, which is a shame. I love the music, the voices are excellent, especially George Gilmour, who wrote many of the songs, and Pandi and Dandi (beautiful Grace Kennedy and Alan Love) are good traditional rock and rollers, owned by the evil, totalitarian, monster corporation which seeks to take over everything - like the old Soviet Union. The parallels are there, and this was 1980, before the "evil empire" fell, so the message of this move was right on point for the time, and continues to last to today, with others who wish to take away our freedoms and give us a totalitarian form of life - which THE APPLE resoundingly rejects, in humourous, musical, satiric form. There are so many small parodies in the movie that I can't list them, and you see new ones every time you watch it. This is also a story about love, which, as in every good romanctic story, shows that love conquers all. It many be corny, and the message hokey, and the acting tongue in cheek, but it is an excellent movie on many levels that most people have not fully appreciated. It's meant for you to laugh with it, and occasionally at it, to appreciate the music and sexy dance numbers, which also contribute to the sexy, materialistic, totalitarian message! It's all there, in a very pleasant format, with performances credibly given considering what they were trying to do - all humor and parodies are difficult to pull off, and they did in this one that all too few people GOT. Vladek Sheybal is absolutely amazing in his tongue-in-cheek portryal of the devil who uses music and a large music corporation to take over everything and everyone, even taking over lovely, innocent Bibi (as the devil did to EVE in the garden of Eden, getting her to bite off a chunk of a similar apple then). But unlike Adam, Alfi never folds, and sticks to his good-guy guns throughout the story, from square one, and is the one person, with virtue, unending love, and a lot of romantic music in his pocket, winning the day, converting Bibi back, and forcing a mythilogical, fantasied "second coming" ("Mr. Tops") which takes all the good people away to some utopia. As I said, the story may be hokey, but no more so than those in the Bible. You may not agree with it, but it gives you a good ride, playfully and musically, with some great tongue-in-cheek satiric bits. Those of you who liked it - now you know why. ... show more

    • One hell of a ride!
i Liked this movie first time i saw it back on Showtime in 1980 over the years I have had the vhs copy of this movie I found the vinyl of the sound track. Now comes this new blu ray from a clean print from 2015. I have had my doubts about how it would look and sound. Let me just say it is like watching it for the first time... the picture was so clear and colorful and the sound was top notch. I would say it is a must have for this blu ray if you have ever seen it and liked it. ... show more

    • Sometimes its soo bad, its sooo good
So I did a jig when I saw this movie was available on DVD. This movie is um .... rotten to the core. This movie has been played for the last couple of years in various theaters, and has made it back to cable. Yes, the movie, is horrible, the dialogue is bad, villians sing regge tunes. God comes in a gold Cadillac. Yes, its bad. I don't think this movie intended to be horrible, but it is, and there lies the beauty of this film. Who would have ever imagined a musical extolling the wonders of taking speed?? Who would have ever thought as a cheap plot device to paste a sticker on your head?? Who in their right minds would have conceived of a dance/orgy scene, surely the solid gold dancers could have done something else in their spare time. Invite your friends, invite people you want to torture, put this movie in!! This movie is a train wreck, you will not be able to take your eyes away. I would love to tell you there are lots of redeeming qualities, but there aren't many. This movie is just plain bad. ... show more

    • Praise The Apple!
I never thought I'd see the day when this glorious mess of a film would be released on Blu-ray. The picture quality is superb and the soundtrack is clearer than I've ever heard. Throw in a fun commentary by Catherine Mary Stewart plus a 45-minute interview with her and you end up with quite a nice release for the price. While it would have been wonderful to see the elusive excised scenes, Scorpion Releasing did make an effort to obtain them and failed to do so because of a dastardly thief who made off with the only known print containing them. I really can't complain about the Blu-ray. If you love The Apple, you'll love this disc. If you don't get enjoyment out of outrageous but entertaining film failures then keep on shopping. This release is for those of us who can't wait to take another bite of The Apple. (Warning: You will meet an actual, actual, actual vampire whilst watching this film.) ... show more

    • No more bootleg copies - hurrah!
What more can I add? Reviewer CC Incalzini says it all really - very good review! I'd just like to add that it is great to finally have this film on a 'proper' DVD, I've seen all the bootleg copies for sale on eBay (and believe it or not DVD's too) - buy from Amazon, coz at least then you know you're getting a 'real' copy and not a bootleg! - MGM have done a stonkingly good job of restoring this print (if that's the right word) the awful pan and scan on the video has gone, and because of that you get to see the whole movie. I finally get to see Vladek Sheybal (Mr Boogalow) singing all the way through 'The Master' whereas before I didn't. This actor is great in the movie as he normally plays screen villains and it was great to see him do something different. All in all, a great effort. Now can we turn our attention to getting The Apple soundtrack released on CD (instead of bootleg copies of the album as seen on eBay) - that would complete the set wouldn't it? - why are you running away - what's wrong with you? ... show more
