^^ I've seen that movie. It's godawful! Haha

Indeed it is...

Especially the guy that plays the grandpa.

Finally got around to watching "Layer Cake" the other night. 'She Sells Sanctuary' by The Cult plays over the opening credits. Great flick too.

At the end of "Final Destination 5," a montage of death scenes from the entire series plays over the closing credits, accompanied by AC/DC's "If You Want Blood."

I was quite surprised to hear L.A. Guns "Shoot for Thrills" in one episode of the Netflix Punisher series(specifically the episode "Fustercluck").

So while watching the '80s trash classic "Class of Nuke'Em High" this morning, I happened to notice Clive Burr's name in the credits (under "Music By...")

I was like "Whaaaaat? That couldn't be the Clive Burr, the late former Iron Maiden drummer, could it?"

So I took a quick look at the movie's IMDb page and lo and behold, it was indeed him. There's a song in the movie called "Run For Your Life" by a band called Stratus, which was apparently a short lived combo featuring Clive and some ex members of NWOBHM band Praying Mantis.

It's totally awful AOR crap but hey, ya learn something new every day

Wow I did not know that, really cool.  I actually really like this song and part of me wonders about the alternate universe where this band was a hit and Burr ended up having an AOR career.

Also enjoyed Lust for Freedom, i'm a sucker for those Women in Prison films.

Also I saw this one direct to video action film called "Point Doom" where featured several Motley Crue songs and even had Skid Row vocalist Sebastian Bach doing some acting, let's just say he was a lot better on Gilmore Girls.

In the 2010 thriller "Frozen," a guy in a Twisted Sister shirt walks past the main characters in the ski lodge before they head out to the chair lift.

According to the "Trivia" section of the movie's IMDb page, the guy is Jesse "Blaze" Snider, Dee Snider's son, who was a member of the movie's crew.

A kid in "Fear Street Part 1: 1994" wears an Iron Maiden tee for a good chunk of the film, and "Fear of the Dark" is heard briefly in an early scene.

Haha, I was just now watching this movie and came here to post about that.

Jungle Cruise has an orchestral version of Nothing Else Matters playing over the opening credits and during a flashback scene.

"Bad Teacher" used Dio, Whitesnake, and Judas Priest songs throughout the film.

In Addams Family 2, a scene takes place in a biker bar in Death Valley. The music playing in the background? Motorhead's Ace Of Spades.

I'm not sure if it was mentioned in this thread yet, but the death metal band Disgorge had their song "Consume the Forsaken" featured in the movie Paranormal Activity.

In the Netflix comedy "Thunder Force," Melissa McCarthy's character wears vintage Slayer and Lita Ford tee shirts. At one point, she threatens a character who wants her to remove the Slayer shirt with bodily harm if it gets damaged, because it's a "1994 original bought at the concert."

In the first episode of Peacemaker, one of the songs in the background of a scene, you can hear The Poodles-A Night Of Passion

On last night's episode of the Waking Dead, 2 girls ate shopping at a record store and the older one holds up Motorhead's Rock And Roll lpand tells the younger one how great it is. Later in the episode, Eat The Rich is played.

I think Norman Reedus is a big Motörhead fan. He may have influenced that scene.

I was watching Tubi last night and a horror movie called The Rage featured the band Mushroomhead playing live at a outdoor party.

My dad was watching that just the other day!

Watching another Peacemaker episode and they're playing Reckless Love-Monster

Apparently James Gunn is huge glam/pop metal fan.

On Monday's RAW, Edge came out in an Amon Amarth shirt.

A while back he had a Headbanger's Ball t-shirt. I've always suspected Edge to be into metal, he would always headbang and throw up the horns when he made his entrance.

Started watching The Stand on Paramount last night and the first episode has Changes by Black Sabbath being played by 2 characters.

Another episode of the Stand plays KISS' Lick It Up.

In the Amityville Horror remake, the oldest kid wears a couple of KISS shirts, as well as having a few cool vintage KISS and Alice Cooper posters on his bedroom wall.

Just saw this commercial with, of all things, Time for Change by Motley Crue playing in the background:
