Peter Frampton's "Sgt. Peppers"" How is this not the greatest cult classic ever?

[Rain Man]

I saw this movie when it was in the theater back in 1978, but I don't think I could appreciate it in the moment. Looking back now, this movie has everything a cult classic could want: good music, bad lip-synching, cool band costumes, a kung fu fight between the BeeGees and some evil nurses, sexy girl scout uniforms, Aerosmith as the villain, and that finale! Wow, that finale! It's a group song that has everybody who is anybody in it: Bowser of Sha Na Na, David Bowie, Hank Williams, Jr., Bonnie Raitt, Carol Channing, Heart, and the list goes on and on. I keep trying to find a young Nils Lofgren before he became Springsteen's guitarist, but I don't see him, and supposedly Paul McCartney and George Harrison are in the crowd as well. And who was the albino dude in there? He looks like I should know him.

This movie blows away The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
