I don't know if it's as good as the narrator of the clip made it sound, lol but I saw it when it came out and loved it. I was trying to remember why it wasn't more popular so I looked up some movies that came out in 1981.
An American Warewolf in London
Arthur
Chariots of Fire
Escape from New York
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Halloween 2
Friday the 13th 2
Mad Max 2
Body Heat
The Cannonball Run
On Golden Pond
Stripes
For Your Eyes Only
History of the World Part 1
Absence of Malice
The Postman Always Rings Twice
Heavy Metal, ok that one was just for us stoners

I believe I saw all those at the theater but Absence of Malice

yea I was talking about after it's debut, I remember seeing it on TV years later without the soundtrack, it was unwatchable without it.

The legal difficulties surrounding the use of some songs in the movie delayed its release to home video. The production company's use of some songs were limited solely to the theatrical release and soundtrack and did not include home video releases. It was not until 1996 that there was an official home video release on VHS when Kevin Eastman, who had bought the publishing rights of Heavy Metal magazine in 1992 and previously contributed to the magazine, reached a settlement with the music copyright holders.
