   stop at some sort of bar or drinking establishment. Think Mos Eisly   
   Cantina, crossed with a Black Flag show, but with a little green   
   humanoid alien on vocals instead of Johnny Bob, Dez, or Henry Rollins.   
   It is dark and loud, and the only thing clearly visible is the stage in   
   the center of the room. If I recall correctly, the little green dude is   
   short, skinny, wiry, and has a grey or white mohawk. He might have an   
   earring. His age seems roughly equivalent to a human of 55 or 60 years.   
   The music is very loud, with a lot of feedback, and resembles metal or   
   hardcore music. The crowd is made up of all sorts of different species   
   of hulking muscular drunk alien tough guy “biker” types who are   
   continuously fighting each other, throwing things at the stage, and   
   jumping onstage and attempting to beat the vocalist to death. The little   
   green vocalist (“singer” doesn't really fit) has a mic in one hand and a   
   mug of beer in the other, and his vocal performance consists mainly of   
   yelling insults directly into the faces of the crowd, and to a lesser   
   extent screaming the blues. Needless to say, this scene made as much of   
   an imprint on my memory as any other part of the movie.   
      
   	The little green screaming dude joins the group, and becomes a main   
   character. I'm pretty sure he was in the entire series, or at least in   
   the second movie.   
      
   	And that's about all I remember. Our Teenage Hero finds out more about   
   the Dome Thingy on his hand, completes whatever Quest he was tasked   
   with, and everyone is happy in the end. It seems like it had one of   
   those typical cartoon endings: once everything is resolved, all the main   
   characters stand around in a circle, someone cracks a painfully corny   
   joke or pun, and everyone laughs hysterically as the “camera” recedes   
   and the sound and picture fade out. I thought this was a standalone   
   movie, until the next weekend, the sequel was shown in the same   
   timeslot. I think there was a total of 2-4 of these films shown on AFN.   
   All I remember of the sequels is that the Hero manages to leave the   
   planet and visit other places with his friends, with new conflicts to   
   resolve.   
      
   	I hope this rings a bell with someone. I'd really like to track this   
   one down and watch it again, partly to see how well I remember it. At   
   the time it reminded me of Voltron (my favorite show when I was 4 or 5;   
   it was the first VHS tape my family ever rented when we got our first   
   VCR around 1984 or so). So it's entirely possible that I've confused   
   some of the details with Voltron or some other anime from the 80's.   
   Please post to the group if you can share any information regarding this   
   film. The Dome Thingy on the kid's hand, as well as the green mohawk   
   dude, are probably the key to identifying this film, since they are the   
   things I remember best. I really appreciate anything at all anyone can   
   contribute. Sorry for the long post!   
      
   Thanks!
