You've got the James Gang cranking it out through the whole thing. Elvin Jones, yes that Elvin Jones, plays a hard hard cowboy who, after killing someone, proceeds to oust the James Gang's drummer from his kit and blaze a solo.
That blended with its almost Jodorowsky-esque surreality make it an all time favorite.
"Quest for Fire is one of those movies that inspires the oft-used and dumbest line critics will ever come up with: it's a "realistic portrayal." How in the hell would anyone know this--the movie takes place 80,000 years ago! Usually that shit line is reserved for war or inner-city movies, but everyone was ga-ga'ing it after seeing Quest for Fire. I got news for you--it was a fucking bore. A tribe's fire goes out. No one knows how to re-start it. A few of the tribe (including Ron Perlman--uncannily recognizable through his make-up) go out to find some more fire. They do so, and kidnap Rae Dawn Chong, who ends up inventing something more important than fire--the blow job--when she tries to sooth one of the tribe's penile boo-boo's. The movie looked good--I'll say that much. But it was a hard go for over an hour, no matter what snoot critics tell you."
The Hanson brothers crack me up

Both are on my desert island list.
