THE LEGEND THAT WAS THE SEX PISTOLS IN ALL THEIR ANIMATED GLORY. THIS FILM IS SUCH A PRODUCT OF MALCOLM MCLARENS MIND THAT ITS VIRTUALLY A MCLAREN AUTOBIOGRAPHY. GRANTED, WE DO HAVE SOME OF VINTAGE PISTOLS FOOTAGE BUT THE STORY OF GUITARIST STEVE JONES SEARCH FOR TRUTH AND JUSTICE, INTERWOVEN WITH LOTS OF ANIMATION REALLY JUST GETS IN THE WAY OF THE BITS WE REALLY WANT TO SEE ie LIKE ANYTHING WITH SID VICIOUS IN, THE AMERICAN TOUR FOOTAGE, AND THE A&M AND E.M.I STUFF. THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO JOHN LYDON IN THIS AT ALL BECAUSE OF 'DIFFERENCES' AND THAT ONLY CAN BE A BAD THING. MINOR SUPPORT FROM IRENE HANDL, LIZ FRASER AND PORN QUEEN MARY MILLINGTON WHO ALL ADD NOTHING TO THE PISTOLS STORY - ONE SUPRISING PLUS IS THE APPEARANCE OF EDDIE 'TENPOLE' TUDOR AS A CINEMA USHER, BUT IN REALITY THE MINUS' FAR OUTWEIGH THE GOOD POINTS. TOO MUCH MCLAREN AND TOO MANY CARTOON SEGMENTS AND NOT ENOUGH VICIOUS, ROTTEN OR MUSIC. ONLY SIDS 'MY WAY' SAVES IT.Read full review
I must say that I was so glad to get this film on DVD! I hadn't seen it for years, but loved seeing it again, and best of all, listening to the Sex Pistols and Sid Vicious again!! A great film, which is a work of art, and overlooked by many as the story of the Sex Pistols, put on film. Excellent!
Classic Sex Pistols docu/movie! Great clips of their songs and all the trouble that they caused with the Police and the Queen. A must for all Pistols fans. Excellent sound and picture quality on the remastered dvd as well.
