Detroit Rock City is a 1999 film about four teenagers in a Kiss cover band who try to see their idols in Detroit in 1978. Comparable to Rock 'n' Roll High School, Dazed and Confused, The Stöned Age, and I Wanna Hold Your Hand, Detroit Rock City tells a coming of age story through a filter of 1970s music and culture in the United States. Originally titled The Kiss Movie, the movie ultimately took its title from the Kiss song of the same name. Although it bombed at the box office, grossing fewer than five million dollars domestically, it has since become a cult classic for Kiss fans[citation needed], rock music fans and metalheads in general.
The film was shot at Cedarbrae Collegiate Institute in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada, and other Ontario locations.
