Tenacious D In: The Pick Of Destiny (2006)

---

As a young man, (Jack Black) is the black sheep of his religious, Fundamentalist Christian family in the oppressive town of Kickapoo, Missouri. After his father (Meat Loaf) beats him for his love of rock and roll and for singing a profanity-laced song about slaying (and sexually violating) a dragon while the family was having dinner ("Kickapoo"), Jack appeals to his lone remaining rock poster, that of Ronnie James Dio of the band Dio. Dio (whose 'nom de guerre' means "God" in Italian) then comes to life and advises Jack that his rock counterpart awaits him in a land called Hollywood in the "city of fallen angels". Jack immediately runs away from home and spends the next few decades roaming around every town named Hollywood in America until he finally winds up in California.

Shortly after he arrives in the right Hollywood, he stumbles upon a long-haired man playing acoustic guitar in hopes of donations from passers-by (known as busking). Jack's new acquaintance introduces himself as Kyle Gass, and is very unimpressed with Jack. Despite the fact that Jack improvises lyrics for Kyle's playing off the top of his head and the two vibe immensely ("Classico"), Kyle still rejects Jack's overtures of friendship. Jack, disheartened, wanders off into the city ("Baby"), where he is attacked by a gang of A Clockwork Orange-themed thugs (complete with white overalls, masks and cockney accents). They beat him briefly and run off, whereupon Kyle emerges and chastises the already-fled gang members. Jack, believing that Kyle chased them away, is intensely grateful, and Kyle takes him back to his apartment.

Over the next few days, Kyle spins stories of knowing and interacting with a number of rock legends in the course of running his own band, 'The Kyle Gass Project'. Kyle agrees to take Jack under his wing and teach him the secrets of rock. Soon, Jack undergoes Kyle's custom 'gig simulator', which ends disastrously. Immediately thereafter, Jack learns that Kyle is completely fake; even his hair is a wig. He's a failure as a musician, and his parents are cutting his rent off. Enraged by the deception, Jack berates Kyle and says he's leaving.

Kyle informs his former apprentice that he will have to return home because he has already spent his last rent check. He reveals a new acoustic guitar with custom decorations, including a 'JB' logo on the lower half. Touched and appeased, Jack states that there will be no moving back in with anyone's parents - that they will pay the rent "with their rock". At the same time, they discover the birthmarks on their buttocks that, when combined, reveal the name of their destined band: Tenacious D, with "Tenac" being on Jack's right buttock, and "ious D" being on Kyle's left ("Destiny").

Tenacious D try their luck at an open mic night ("History", referred to in the movie as "The History of Tenacious D") and receive a lukewarm (at best) reception. It seems that one week later, a competition with a cash prize will be held, which the D desperately need to win to pay the rent. Seeking praise from the open mic host, they are told the contest's competition will be fierce, and they'd best come up with new material. When they attempt to do so, they run into writer's block, frustrating Jack greatly. He throws himself down amidst copies of Rolling Stone, noting that all the bands on the covers are great, and tries to figure out a common element. Kyle, looking at the covers, idly observes that they all apparently used the same guitar pick: a green, horned demonic skull.

Heading to the music store to see if they can find such a pick, the two attract the attention of the owner (Ben Stiller). He reveals in a dark closet (in which he uses a lighter to create suspense, but Kyle quickly turns on the light swich) that they've stumbled across the legend of the 'Pick of Destiny': long ago a dark magician summoned up the Devil himself to force him into doing his bidding. The Prince of Darkness had other ideas and the sorcerer quickly found himself on the losing side of a magic-fueled match. A heroic blacksmith, discovering the struggle, hurled a horseshoe at Satan, breaking one of his teeth. This distraction allowed the magician to put a curse on Satan: he was forced to return to Hell until he was complete again. In gratitude for the blacksmith's valuable help, the magician formed the tooth into a lute pick that held a part of the Devil's essence. Using the pick would allow the blacksmith to play lute songs that would help him win the heart of his lady love, something that would leave her "moist and wanting." The pick surfaced hundreds of years later in the southern U.S. where legendary black guitarist Robert Johnson used it to forge its own guitar-infused brand of blues, which was later to develop into rock music (Johnson often humorously referred to having made a pact with the devil to achieve his guitar-playing skills and even composed a "Me and the Devil" blues). Stating that he believes the Pick of Destiny to be in the Rock & Roll History Museum, the guitar store owner then ejects Jack and Kyle from the shop, advising them not to meddle with the pick.

Jack is determined to get the pick, and after he and Kyle borrow their friend Lee's car, they set off for the museum. In a deleted scene, Jack and Kyle use an impromptu patriotic jam session to persuade a store clerk into giving them the walkie-talkies they will inevitably need on their mission ("The Government Totally Sucks"). While driving, Jack fantasizes about their upcoming performance at the open mic night when they finally get the pick ("Master Exploder"). Along the way, Kyle is distracted by college girls who are impressed by his exaggerations of his band's fame. Kyle wants to go to the fraternity party the girls are bound for, but Jack is focused on the pick, especially after picking up a tip on infiltrating the museum from a strange vagrant. Kyle abandons Jack to go to the fraternity party, and an embittered Jack sets out for the museum on his own, after smashing one of the car's taillights with a rock ("The Divide"). Along the way, he has a mushroom-induced hallucination where he meets sasquatch, with the hairy myth informing Jack that the rocker is his son ("Papagenu (He's My Sassafrass)"). Jack eventually wakes up from his hallucination, and continues towards the museum.

Meanwhile, Kyle's floundering at the party. When he's pressed to sing one of his band's songs, he attempts to sing the song he and Jack sang at open mic night, but he only knows the back-up vocals. Humiliated, Kyle realizes he's only half complete without Jack, and sets out to make things right ("Dude (I Totally Miss You)"). Meanwhile, we see Jack breaking into the museum, following the directions he got from the vagrant ("Break-In City (Storm The Gate!)"). Meeting up with Jack in the museum's air ducts, the two reconcile and set out to steal the pick. When confronted by a "deadly" laser grid, (LASER) Jack manages to tumble and wriggle his way to the end, but is thwarted by the lasers being too close together. A button at waist height will shut off the grid, but he cannot reach it. Kyle urges Jack to use one of the rocker techniques he taught him earlier, the "cock push-up". Jack's now strengthened cock is able to emerge from his jeans and hit the red button. Having successfully used the technique to deactivate the lasers, the two steal the pick and flee from the guards, using another rocker technique (the "power slide") to evade a lowering security door, and finally leaving the vagrant from earlier to take the fall for the theft.

As they're nearly home, a policeman attempts to pull them over for their broken taillight. Kyle panics and the two engage in a high speed chase ("Car Chase City"), which ends when the car bursts into flames. The police believe the two perished in the fire, but they've actually slipped into the sewer system. Using the sewers to arrive at Open Mic Night, Tenacious D prepares to go on stage.

Greed comes between the two as they fight over who gets to use the pick first, and it ends with the Pick of Destiny broken in half on the ground. They mourn their loss, but the open mic host advises them that the power of Satan isn't in some pick; it's in everybody! Heartened, the two go inside to prepare. Meanwhile, the host picks up the pick, which glows with unearthly green power. The two emerge from the club, intending to use the halves of the pick anyway, just in time to see the host transform into Satan (Dave Grohl) and turn the pick back into his tooth, rejoining it to his body.

Exulting in his wholeness, Satan announces that the world will now belong to him, and that Jack and Kyle are first on his list of people to slaughter. Jack interrupts by challenging the devil to a rock-off ("Beezleboss (The Final Showdown)"), which the annoyed Prince of Darkness must accept due to the Demon Code. When asked for terms, Jack announces that if Tenacious D wins, Satan must return to Hell and pay their rent. Jack then gives their penalty for losing: Satan will be allowed to take Kyle back to hell and use him as a sex slave. Satan consents to the terms and they then begin the rock-off.

Summoning up an arena of speakers and an array of the finest musical instruments Hell has to offer, Satan sings a song of arrogance and sex - in other words, "a masterpiece", as Kyle mentions. After seeing Satan's skill, Kyle is terrified that he will become Satan's sex slave. But Jack encourages him, claiming they can both win. Heartened, Kyle joins Jack as he retaliates with his own song, right off the top of their heads. Kyle plays his acoustic guitar and Jack dances about proudly, with Kyle harmonizing, shouting his unique style of profanity-laced genius. Despite their valiant effort, Satan decries them as lame, and prepares to send Kyle to Hell.

Intending to give his life for his friend's, Jack leaps in front of Satan's blast of lightning, which deflects off the emblem on his guitar and breaks the end off of one of the Devil's horns. Recalling the incantation the dark magician used hundreds of years ago (related to them by the guitar store owner), "from whence you came, you shall remain, until you are complete again", Jack curses Satan once more to return to Hell. Condemning the rockers individually and swearing his vengeance on the band as a whole, Satan is dragged back to the underworld.

The end of the tale sees Tenacious D sitting in their apartment, musing that they defeated the devil "with their rock". They also mourn that they cannot remember even a single note of the amazing song they played in the rock-off (this is a reference to their hit song "Tribute" from their first album). So they decide to simply write a new, even better song, and make use of the "BOD", the Bong of Destiny - a bong fashioned from Satan's horn - for inspiration. The film ends with Tenacious D performing their hit song "POD", as well as their song "The Metal", during the credits.
