'''Catman:''' If they fell into the wrong hands...\\
'''Demon:''' There are no right hands but ours. We must protect the power!

* InASingleBound: KISS (or at least their stunt doubles) can jump like [[Series/WonderWoman1975 Wonder Woman]].
* JukeboxMusical: The soundtrack consists mainly of old KISS songs, with some stock 70s action music mixed in. (There were apparently supposed to be some new songs featured, but they couldn't be worked in.)
*
MadScientist: Abner DevereauxDevereaux invents lifelike androids and animatronics (and also has a way to put people under his electronic control) and seeks to avenge being fired.



* OhCrap: The band's reaction when [[spoiler:Abner depowers them]]. The look on Gene's face when he [[spoiler:fails to breathe fire]] is priceless.
* PowerEchoes: All of the Demon's dialog is overlaid with a reverb/distortion effect. Oddly, it doesn't apply to his singing voice, and none of the others have it either.



%%* {{Teleportation}}: Ace

* VerbalTic: Ace's "Ack"sAce barks out the word "Ack" a lot. Reportedly this is because he didn't take the scriptwriting sessions seriously; he would respond to all the writers' questions with "Ack", so they wrote it into his character.

The story revolves around KISS playing a series of gigs at the Magic Mountain amusement park (now SixFlags, but they never address the park by its name in the movie) simply because the park needs more guests and the owners think the hottest band in the world will bring 'em in. This does not sit well with Abner Devereaux, the park's co-founder who makes animatronics and robots, which he takes pride in making and thinks they're the reason that people come. Abner decides to destroy KISS and/or the park itself, with help of Sam, a brainwashed park employee. It's up to KISS, with the help of their superpowers and Melissa, Sam's fiancée, to help stop Abner and save the park.
