there once was a Wizard of Oz theme park – Land of Oz - in Beech Mountain, North Carolina, that lived for a decade (1970-1980), and then it closed, but the park remained…

 

and while the theme park is dead, the place lives on – with a once a year ‘Autumn in Oz’ party, tours, and event rentals!!!

and to my surprise – it was an incredible movie!!!

here’s why…

(and we don’t even need to list the music as a reason)

Apollonia’s treasure chest and ASSets

although she does look a bit like Tim Curry as Dr Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show

–

the way Morris Day moves, and his eyes pop

–

that motorcycle is mad RAD!!!

–

and the movie has a sorta Batman feel to it!!

there’s a dark city, lots of smoke, good guys, bad guys and some of them wear capes!
–

The MUSTaches

–

a woman gets tossed in a dumpster!!

which ends up being the least harshest thing that happens to a woman in this movie

–

the editing is amazing – and the cinematography too – and the make-up also also!!

–

the guy who played the bouncer was also Prince’s real-life bodyguard!

Charles ‘Big Chick’ Huntsberry

–

this guy and his nods of approval

–

Prince being Prince

–

thank you Prince

Peace The Forks Out
Goodnight Sweet

nothing compares 2 u, cause u got the look, u sexy MF.  u made us party like it was 1999, told us to go crazy, get all delirious, live up the pop life, do the batdance - all the sign o the times.  i would die 4 u, or give you diamonds and pearls or a little red corvette.  how about 7 raspberry berets? we’d kiss you if we could, but we longer can.  the cream off the peach is gone.  you were the most beautiful girl man in the world, even on alphabet street.  the thieves in the temple took your life, but we’ll have your music from our generation, to the new power generation, and for every generation 9ever.  this is what it sounds like when doves cry, and when humans do too :(
