- Aside From Courtney Love's Screams.....
For die-hard Clash fans, rather for fans of the late 1970's English punk movement, this movie is hard to resist. An eclectic group of musicians and actors, including Joe Strummer, members of The Pogues, Dennis Hopper, Elvis Costello, and Jim Jarmusch, this homage to Spaghetti Westerns is wonderful.If you get it.For those who might necessarily appreciate the actors, the humor may be lost.
This project was director Alex Cox's immediate after Sid & Nancy, the story of Sex Pistols bassist ... Read More
Rating: - Cool Movie
I was worried about not liking this movie. I'd read a lot of Reviews that said it was weird or boring. But I love Joe Strummer so I had to check it out. and I was pleasantly surprized to find a quirky laugh out loud movie. IT Is a DARK comedy. and you'll either love it or hate it, get it or not.

I loved seeing Strummer playing a cool sexy guy, he had some great funny ... Read More

- Hysterically funny reviews
Yup, this film--which happens to be one of my all-time faves--is not for everyone. Way back a bit before Sting and Bono gave a whole new meaning to the idea of pompous jerk, British punker musicians brought a real Midlands working class sense of irony and absurdity to the world--often not only through their music but through their stage chatter. Some of the flat-out funniest people I've ever encountered were punkers from the Eighties. The single-most un-funny human I've ever known was a major league ... Read More
Rating: - funny as Hell
I saw this twice during its too brief(one week!)run in Seattle in 1987 and i was always showing it to people later on video who thought i was INSANE, which may or may not be beside the point, but this is one of THOSE movies, like BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, that can inform you about someones personal sense of humor and taste. Either you get it or you don't. I think this movie is some kind of psychopathic classic that perfectly sends up the extreme amorality of the spaghetti westerns and prefigures the ... Read More
Rating: - How to get a studio to pay for a party for you and friends
Step 1} Make a wonderfully surreal movie (Repo Man)
Step 2} Make a critically acclaimed film about a rock/punk icon and his dead girlfriend (Sid & Nancy)
Step 3} Get a bunch of punk/new wave musicians, buddies, characer actors, etc together, and tell the studio you're going to go to Spain and make a wonderfully critically acclaimed surreal movie.
It doesn't matter if you're telling the truth in Step 3, because after you've spent the studio's money and delivered the ... Read More
