This movie, which runs for only a half hour, is a lot of fun. The movie is filled will oldies, like Devil In Disguise and Hit The Road Jack. There is no plot, just a man fixing his car and then going for a ride in it. Because of that, you don't have to watch it. Just listen to it while you do chores or something! It's a lot of fun either way!Note: A guy pees in a bucket near the end-in case that would offend anyone.

I am a bit surprised this movie, which was written by Ernest D. Glucksman, the producer from quite a few Jerry Lewis comedies, has become a bit of a cult classic. I'd understand if that was only the case for people from the biker scene, but beyond that I can't really see a reason why people would enjoy watching these slightly over 28 minutes. Nothing in this movie warrants such a running time.It's nothing more than a few (gay?) motorcycle bikers preparing for their rides and afterward we see these rides depicted. The only thing that kept me from stopping was, besides the hope it could get better, the music. It features a couple classic songs like Blue Velvet, Elvis and a couple more that made it easier to sit through. The hope was disappointed and besides the music (of course I simply could have listened to an old record as well for that experience), I can't really see any redeemable qualities that make it better than Kenneth Anger's recent work including the panned "Anger sees Red". I surely prefer his other Rising film from the early 70s, Lucifer Rising, mostly for the Egypt-related Isis&Osiris-scenes although I'm not exactly a big fan of that one either.

I saw this movie in a community college film study class filled with dopey surfers, jocks, and hicks. Our professor was from a more cultured area and decided we needed to experience experimental, underground film-work that helped shape the way we view films today. The lights went out. The projector went on. We were brutally raped by images that we'd never seen before, only heard about. Many of the students were offended by it and didn't return to the class. The few of us who stuck around afterward learned about Kenneth Anger, what he was trying to say and the way he used film as a tool of expression rather than a story telling medium. This movie I will never forget as it reached out and smacked the viewer in the face and still does even by today's standards.

Kenneth Anger is the god of modern film underground. Scorpio Rising told directors like Lynch, Scorsese, Fassbinder and others what to do to become brilliant. Overwhelming, powerful, controversial, unique, bizarre... The best movie ever ma
