The Return of Spinal Tap ★★½ 1992

Cult-fave mock rock group Spinal Tap is back with a feature-length video of performance and backstage footage from its recent reunion concert tour promoting their album “Break Like the Wind.” Sequel to “This Is Spinal Tap” features lots of heavy metal songs including the title track, “Majesty of Rock,” “Bitch School,” “Diva Fever,” “Clam Caravan,” and “Stinkin' Up the Great Outdoors.” Not as great as the original satire, but will appeal to Spinal Tap fans. 110m/C VHS, DVD .

Vanston, June Chadwick; Cameos: Paul Anka, Jeff Beck, Jamie Lee Curtis, Richard Lewis, Martha Quinn, Kenny Rogers, Martin Short, Mel Torme, Rob Reiner, Paul Shaffer, Fred Willard, Bob Geldof; W: Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer.
