Working from some old black and white Republic serials from the '30s and '40s, Proctor & Bergman edited and re-dubbed them in 1979 to create the hilarious pastiche J-Men Forever. They added connecting segments where Bergman plays The Chief and Proctor plays Agent Barton, J-Men who work in cooperation with the F.C.C. (Federal Culture Control). They lock horns with uber-villain Lightning Bug, embodied by garish villains from several different serials, who attempts to take over the world with rock'n'roll (adding sex and drugs when the music alone doesn't work). To battle the Lightning Bug, J-Men use "Muzac" (created by M.U.S.A.C., the Military Underground Sugared Airwaves Command). Later, they deploy a bomb to blow up Lightning Bug's base on the Moon (Lightning Bug beats them to it, by turning his stereo up too loud).

LINER NOTES:
J-Men Forever (1979)

"J-MEN FOREVER IS THE UNDERGROUND CULT
CLASSIC TO END ALL CULT CLASSICS"

J-Men is the story of The Secret World War, a War of Cultures as Rock and Roll smashes Shmaltsy Music. This outrageous comedy was created by Firesign Theatre's Philip Proctor and Peter Bergman in the style of Woody Allen's "What's Up Tiger Lily."

From a goldmine of Republic Cliffhanger Serials, J-Men was overdubbed with new voices and script to a Classic Rock Soundtrack.

For more than 20 years, J-Men has been only rarely available and mostly on poor quality bootlegged videos. This digitally re-mastered version is authorized by Proctor and Bergman, with special hilarious bonus interviews on the making of the film.

"J-Men Forever" became the signature for Night Flight's stoned comedy audience in the 1980's. This ultimate late night chronic high comedy was the most demanded rerun for the entire 8 years Night Flight was on the USA Network.

J-Men Forever is a must for your Video Collection. "Shtay Hi"
