I can surmise that there may be some deleted scenes, but beyond that it’s anyone’s guess.

Teaming with her sister and best friends who form The Holograms, Jem sets out to make their musical dreams come true, even as she battles against the ruthless Eric Raymond and his musical protégés.Īll that has been stated about the bonus content is that it’s ”archival material rarely seen by fans.” Interviews with voice actors would be great to see, or perhaps the person/people responsible for designing the wild fashions seen in each episode.

The series follows Jerrica Benton, whose discovery of Synergy, a powerful computer companion, allows her to transform from co-owner of Starlight Music into rock star Jem. It is frequently credited with influencing fashion in the late 1980s and beyond, and launching the careers of female pop-rock stars and music groups. The series “JEM and The Holograms” ran from 1985-’88 in first-run syndication and still boasts a loyal and vocal fan base. The jet-setting group also visited exotic locations like Hawaii, Venice, and Paris. Each episode of the show featured a dramatic conflict with The Misfits (a rival band), the inner turmoils of Jem and her alter ego Jerrica Benton, a tempestuous romance with boyfriend Rio, original songs set against music-video-like montages, and enough wardrobe changes to make Barbie jealous.

But Emmett Benton leaving a cutesy, robot-like Synergy to his daughter Jerrica serves no purpose, other than to make Jerrica run all over Los Angeles pursuing clues so she could watch a final video of her deceased Dad telling her how much he loves her.couldn't he have just left her a DVD? Not to mention his other daughter, Kimber, gets nothing. Changing Eri c Raymond to Erica Raymond also made sense. Jerrica's transformation to Jem is accomplished through wigs and make-up, rather than a hologram-projecting computer, which made the film more realistic. If you don't sit through the closing credits, you'll miss them entirely. Speaking of the Misfits, they don't appear except for a brief scene at the very end of the movie.
