@MaryFizz3 Director Paul Schrader said about casting her for the movie " "it's a good performance, but... that piece of casting just did not work." Wonder why he said that, lol...
There were a several benefit concerts back in the 80's where Michael jumped in and played with the bands. I've looked all over youtube for some clips but came up empty.
This may not be the greatest movie ever, but it is the best rock and roll movie ever made. This is from a guy who has been bashing it out playing my own music in bars for longer than most of you have been alive.Ha! It was first called Born To Run, but they couldn't get ok'ed by Columb to use that song. Bruce saw the movie and wrote L O Day for them.
Rumor is that Joan wrote I Hate Myself For Loving You to MJF.
I know Joan is normally associated with women, I know she digs some boys 2. ;)
@wildcatter63 she dedicated the sinner album for him because he was very respectful and helped her a lot in the movie and Fox played the guitar since he was a teen :)
I disagree with all of those that feel Joan shouldnt have been casted for the role of Patty. Considering that Joan Jett is a rock star and NOT a MOVIE star I think its fair enough to say that she did a pretty good job acting. In my opinion Michael J Fox and Joan had alot of chemistry on set and they did very well together. I think people are being too critical and really should lay off. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and that is mine.
The drummer and I were in the same class in music school back in 1986 (Musicians Institute, Hollywood). The movie people came in and said they were auditioning drummers for this part, so we and a few others tried out. I was too camera-shy and he wasn't. I don't remember his name and would appreciate if anyone can tell me so I can look him up. Thanks.
@ritter89 if you had bothered to read my comments properly i said one of the greatest movies i have seen,not what you have seen.Great music and maybe a story out of the suburbs but,it's all about the music is'nt it!?And tell me a great actor that has'nt been in a movie that has'nt been rated as half decent and panned by the critics??You don't mean to pick on me?Well i guess coming from Australia we learn how to take the good with the bad.You are entitled to your comments and i wish you well mate
Has to be one of the greatest movies i have seen.A DVD release would have to sooner than later surely?If you can't your toes tapping to this then you have no soul!!!
@TheDazza1969 You can't be serious!? This was one of the worst films of the 80s. Alex P Keaton and Joan Jett, both sporting awful mullets and playing in "The Bar Busters"......Does it get any more cringe worthy? This was panned by critics and virtually ignored by audiences and Joan deserves an award for the one of the most unconvincing acting jobs of the decade. Hey, to each his/her own, I guess. I don't mean to pick on you, I just can't believe that you referred to this film as "the greatest"
@ritter89 You are right. Joan was not very good. Very bad casting. There was no chemistry at all between her and Michael. MJF did his best to salvage it. But the music was decent.
This will never be on blu-ray, ever. But maybe it will. Studios are funny.
I have not seen this in over 20 years. I can't explain why, but when Joan walked up on stage and started singing with her brother (yeah I know.. in the movie) I got choked up. Should probably tell the siblings I care about them.
The story goes Joan helped Michael to play the guitar and Michael helped Joan on acting (in her film debut). Their brother-sister relationship was built on that chemistry.
THats what you call a pair of lucky poeple, one gets to sing with Joan Jett and the other gets to star in a movie with Michale J fox lol, I envy them both though mostly MJF as singing with Joan Jett trumps just about anything....
@dirtywizard1999 I have this movie! It's in english but the audio quality is terrible and out of sync. I ordered it online somewhere, you just have to search for websites that sell DVDs that are difficult to buy anywhere else.
Hands down, MJF's finest film--ever. Well, maybe " The American President", but I love this one--& I so love Joan Jett! Raw, real, rock & roll, Forever. Wolfsky9
All of the music in the movie was played live by the actors. One guy was from Spinal Tap. As Fox said"(experiencing fear), "When Joan Jett says play, you play.
OMG. I LOVE THIS SCENE! Just saw this movie today. GREAT way to end such a dramtic flick!!! and I just KNEW joan was coming out. I said "watch her come out." AND SHE DID!!! XD
I always wondered how two singers can get their faces so close together when they sing - hope MJF didnt orally please Joan before they went on stage - otherwise she would have gotten a snootful of her own scent. Just an observation.
The director, Paul Schrader, always went for a live take: sometimes it didn't work, but it did here. They're all playing live.....I would have paid to see Joan Jett front this group somewhere.
For those who may not have recognized him, that's Michael McKean, aka David St. Hubbins of Spinal Tap on bass. You see Michael J Fox here and think about him now: maybe whatever might be bringing you down at the moment isn't so fucking hard to deal with, huh?
How on earth does he keep his mind on the song with Joan Jett in his face ?
She is Sooooo hot !!!
