Sex Pistols Movie Finally on DVD What do you get when you throw together an embezzling manager, a band that spits, swears, and barely knows how to play, a midget, a porn star, and some legendary performances? Give up? The Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle, a film documenting the rise and fall of infamous British punk rockers the Sex Pistols. The movie is set to be released for the first time on DVD in the U.S. on May 17, and May 30 in the UK. The film features a number of Sex Pistols' songs, including "God Save the Queen" and "Pretty Vacant". Both tracks were filmed at their final show at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco, where singer Johnny Rotten uttered the indicative quote, "Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?" He left the band the next day. The Swindle was spawned in 1977 by Malcolm McLaren, the Pistols' manager, who decided to make a major motion picture featuring the group. Julien Temple, who at the time was a student at the National Film School, picked up the project after it was dumped by director Russ Meyer, and started shooting in the summer of '78. The script outlines McLaren's 10 guidelines for success including: "Make it as hard as possible for the media to get to the group." The release marks the 25th Anniversary of the film, which has been out of print since the '80s. It has new DVD extras including an interview and audio commentary with Temple and journalist Chris Salewicz. Remastered in 5.1 Surround Sound, the tracklisting for the DVD is as follows: 01 God Save the Queen (Symphony)
02 The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle
03 Anarchy in the U.K
04 Johnny B. Goode
05 You Need Hands
06 No Feelings
07 Silly Thing
08 Rock Around the Clock
09 Black Arabs
10 Bodies
11 God Save the Queen
12 Pretty Vacant
13 Something Else
14 Lonely Boy
15 C'mon Everybody
16 Belsen Was A Gas
17 No Fun
18 Who Killed Bambi?
19 Holiday in the Sun
20 No One Is Innocent
21 Who Killed Bambi? (Reprise)
22 Belsen Vos A Gassa

Well I have this movie........it would have been much better if it hadn't been created without John's support or input. Could have made for better fiction/comedy........I did enjoy Sid's segments though, as well as the live segments of course.....as it is it is rather disjointed  Steve would make a pretty good actor |
