Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCo-writer Jack Nicholson actually compiled the film's soundtrack in its final form, with snippets of the film's dialogue between songs, and is so credited on its LP album cover (when he saw Michael Nesmith at work in the studio and asked if he could help, Nesmith let him take over, because he said "I just want to go home."). Nicholson had unwavering enthusiasm for the film, joining in a stickering campaign to promote its premiere and declaring later that "I saw it, like, 158,000,000 times, man. I loved it!"
- GoofsAnnette Funicello's character is called Theresa by Davy Jones before the boxing sequence, but is listed as Minnie in the end credits.
- Quotes
Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Mike Nesmith, Peter Tork: [chanting in unison] Hey, hey, we are The Monkees, to that we all agree. A manufactured image with no philosophies.
- Crazy creditsThere are no credits at the beginning at the film, which was extremely rare for a 1960s film. They all appear at the end of the film.
- Alternate versionsWhen the film was previewed in August 1968, its original cut ran about 110 mins. It was trimmed down to 86 mins. for the premiere.
- ConnectionsEdited from The Sign of the Cross (1932)
Featured review
I have never been a fan of the Monkees mostly because they are from another generation than mine. However, I am one of those movie viewers that would try everything, and since it was on Youtube, I had to see it.
HEAD hasn't really a plot to talk about. It's just like an extended music video for one of the Monkees' songs with also lots of scenes of hippies from newsreels and some cameos by Victor Mature, Abraham Sofaer, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson. Some vignettes (like the ones with Mature and Sofaer) were actually funny.
Overall, while I didn't loved HEAD, I found it ok. Just something that could have been made only in those years with the generation that had something to say.
