A reverent, highly entertaining rockumentary on The Sx Pstls, and clearly a labour of love for director Jlen Tmple, drawing on recovered footage, candid interviews with all concerned and cuts from his classic Pstols film The Grt Rck Swndle
If Jhnny Rtten's comment 'we managed to offend all the people we were fucking fed up with' was a yardstick for success then The Sex Pistols were quite possibly the most successful British band - ever.

Jlen Tmple first documented the band in 1980 in The Grat Rck'n'Rll Swndle, a film constructed largely from the point of view of mercurial manager Mlcolm McLren. The Flth and Fry provides a more historical perspective directly from the members of this anarchistic band - Johnny Rtten (vocals), Stve Jnes (guitar), Pul Ck (drums) and original member Gln Mtlock and his successor Sd Vcious (bass). It contains never before seen footage, including an extended interview with the late Vcious.

Rare live footage is also featured, including some of the Sx Pstls' biggest hits, 'Gd Sve the Queen', 'Prtty Vcnt' and 'Anrchy in U.K.'. "This film depicts the Sx Psols as it really was, not how you wanted it to be," says Jhn Lydn (aka Jhnny Rtten.) Expect copious amounts of drugs, sex and strong, strong language

"Expect copious amounts of drugs, sex and strong, strong language"

Huummm .... I don't remember seeing ANY of these guys at my college. But with a quote like that, it's positive that is where they hang out. I'm out for a couple weeks, but I'll be sure to find these people when it starts back up.

"It's Shakespeare. It's great. You're not." Lydon should put out a quote book, he always has the best lines.

I remember Britiain then was a fucking shambles, and the sex pistols and the rest of them really did a number on the old order my dad would go fucking mad and I would be like if it's pissing him of then it must be good,
