SYNOPSIS: The members of the ultra-famous rock band KISS have actual super powers! Did you know that? Well, while on tour at an amusement park in the late '70s, they run afoul of a mad scientist who creates robots and androids...sometimes out of people! Can KISS defeat this "Phantom of the Park" (who is never referred to by that moniker, by the way), even after their magic amulets are stolen? May peace, love, rock-and-roll, sticky-out tongues, lots of makeup, and big hair win the day!

Smithee Award Nominations

Most Ludicrous Premise
KISS Has Magic Talismans That Give Them Powers Apparently there are these magic talismans that give KISS superpowers (everyone's heard rumors, right?), and without them, they're "ordinary human beings." Riiiight. Good thing they're protected by a "cosmic force field."

Worst Special Effect
KISS vs. The Robot Apes The band must fight Devereaux's robot "apes" using bad FX and trampolines.

"Whoops!"
Strings in Search of a Guitar The android Demon (Gene Simmons) terrorizes a group of park security, lifting one right off his feet and shoving others backwards--all with the clear use of visible cables!
