It's all about the National Front and their opposition in 70's Britain. I mentioned it in a thread in opposing ideologies so thought I would ask if anyone has seen it. It's really good. They kind of incorporate live gigs into it. Very clever, and the message of the film is great.

Always wanted to see their short films.

Odd film, a combination of social commentary, drama and documentary. It's from the perspective of a disillusioned, drunken adult-bookstore clerk who becomes a roadie for the Clash, believe it or not. Priceless moments abound, really, including drummer Topper Headon kickboxing wearing a Kill Bill-style gold sweat suit. Overall it was pretty bad though.

Damn, I had been hoping to see it, and hoping it was gonna be kick ass.

The Clash are just about the only big punk band that I enjoy.

oh its an awful film, the clash had alot of problems with working with the film crew, and ray didnt really like how he was portrayed in it. I think the film was more organised between CBS and Bernie Rhodes, so i dont think the band were in on the decision making. The sound got fucked on the live parts and so they had to re-record those parts which further pissed off the band, filming was broken up by the band moving from place to place aswell. Toppers 'bee suit' i just plain dont understand. and the blow job in the bogs, gosh how uncooth!

Best line though 'they're dancing! not fighting! being shouted by mick
