Kiss Paul Stanley reflected on the Kiss movie entitled ”Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park”, where he talked about the band’s initial idea when they were offered to make a film and stated that they acted like idiots under those circumstances.
In an interview with Hollywood Reporter, Stanely said:
“When we were introduced to the idea of the film, we basically said, ‘Make a film? Great.’ It was kind of like The Little Rascals. ‘Let’s put on a show.’ There was so much going on at that time. Two members of the band weren’t speaking to the other two members of the band.
”We had both Ace and Peter, who would act on whatever whim might cross their mind. They would leave the set in the middle of shooting. In some scenes, we have stand-ins and stunt doubles.
”And the idea of ‘the talisman,’ clearly we’d never heard the term talisman. Look, we were idiots, and we were suddenly put into a position where The Marx Brothers were being taken seriously.”
