I haven't finished a proper review of this video yet but it does have some great images of Johnny and The Heartbreakers. I'll finish this off soon but until I do, here is a canned review:
THIS REMARKABLE DOCUMENT OF THE 1977 BRITISH PUNK SCENE, SHOT ON TOUR AND AT LONDON'S FABLED "ROXY" CLUB BY FUTURE big audio dynamite MEMBER "DON LETTS", CAPTURES THE ERA'S GREAT BANDS AND SAFETY-PINNED FANS IN ALL THEIR RAW GLORY, BEFORE THE RAVAGES OF TIME AND STYLE COULD TURN THEM INTO CORPSES, HAS BEENS OR EVEN WORSE: POP STARS. THE CANDID ON AND OFFSTAGE FOOTAGE OF THE SEX PISTOLS, CLASH, GENERATION X (FEATURING A BABY-FACED billy idol), JOHNNY THUNDERS' HEARTBREAKERS AND SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES - NOT TO MENTION SUCH OTHER SEMINAL NEW WAVE ARTIFACTS AS X RAY SPEX, WAYNE COUNTY, THE SLITS, EATER, ATV AND THE SUBWAY SECT - IS UNDILUTED AND UNIQUE, AN OFFKEY EXPLOSION OF INSPIRED YOUNG ROCK'N'ROLLERS WHO DEVOUTLY BELIEVED IN THEMSELVES AND THEIR MUSIC. VULGAR, CHAOTIC, NOISY AND RUDE, THE PUNK ROCK MOVIE IS A MOST ENTERTAINING HISTORY LESSON.
