This is an old story in NYC punk lore. Check out Cheetah Chrome (Dead Boys) run up to the camera at 3:15.

@Ghengisfritzmeister  Thats interesting that you chilled with John Spacely. I enjoyed Spacelys film "Gringo" I think thats the respectful title for it.

[Ghengisfritzmeister]

@indieFilmFanatic91 one night i was walking down avenue A and they used me as an extra in the movie GRINGO. it was a scene in a pizza parlor. i was a bum ordering a slice. i never actually saw the movie. for all i know, i wound up on the cutting room floor. i remember being fed all the pizza i could eat, signing the release, and being paid ten bucks. i was also so frikkin high i barely knew what the hell was going on.

@Ghengisfritzmeister Thats really cool. I remeber that scene next time i watch i pay more attention the to that scene it had some arcade machines in it. A film company named Troma released the film under the name Story of a Junkie. Aha good nights of gettin messed up. If you look up " Story of a junkie " you will find some videos on here. I have two related to the music. This is very interesting. : ]

This is not at Cbgb. This is the Muddclub and this was filmed in 1982. This is from the movie "Born to Lose, the Last Rock and Rollmovie". A documentary about Johnny Thunders and about the circumstances about his death in 1991.
