It makes perfect sense: Kiss are bigger than ever; their dolls are more collectible than ever. Could there be a better time to make a Kiss movie? Except that Detroit Rock City, as director Adam Rifkin explains, is not a Kiss movie — even though Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, et al. (along with Edward Furlong and Natasha Lyonne) are in it. ''It's about Kiss fans,'' he says exuberantly. ''It's set in 1978, about a group of kids going to a Kiss concert.'' In fact, the film (due April 16) climaxes with a concert staged in Hamilton, Ontario. ''We put the word out that for one night only, we were re-creating the 1978 Kiss Love Gun Show,'' says the director. ''About 8,000 long-tongued fans showed up.'' Still scary after all these years.
