The Rocket Movie is a quirky slice of late '80s documentary filmmaking, really capturing that reckless spirit of the time. It's about this David Leslie guy, who tries to launch himself over a mountain of watermelons on a Soho street—like, who does that? The atmosphere is electric, with 2,000 people watching and holding their breath. Gary Zeller's narration adds a layer of depth, considering his background in stunt coordination. It’s not just about the stunt; it’s about the thrill of the attempt and the communal vibe of the crowd. The pacing is a mix of anticipation and reflection, giving you that rush and the odd sense of absurdity. It's a testament to the era’s DIY approach and the wild lengths people will go for a moment of glory.
