Sweet and Sour and Excellent.The best music documentary I've seen.
Truly lets one see that these were not the evil kids the "establishment" tried to portray, just young rockers with something to say, loudly and proudly. March 13, 2008
The Filth and the Fury
Combining footage of the Pistols' legendarily ferocious and chaotic performances with revealing new interviews, this exhilarating postmortem on one of the more offensive bands in rock history picks up where Temple's own unfinished "The Great Rock' n 'Roll Swindle" left off. Hearing Lydon, Cook, and Jones revisit a tumultuous time in their obnoxious young lives--and then seeing the real deal in TV interviews and concert tapes--is worth half the admission. But there are also rare on-camera conversations with doomed bassist Sid Vicious and snotty manipulator McLaren to round out the picture. Caustic, funny, and hard for any rock music fan to ignore.

The REAL Story
Forget Julien Temple's "The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle," his previous Pistols film. That was almost purely fiction, created solely as an ego-stroke for Malcolm McLaren. This is the real story, told by the members themselves, using archival footage and new interviews. More than simply presenting the what's and where's, it also delves into the question of WHY punk rock became the phenomenom it did in mid-Seventies Britain. This is an absolute must-see film for anyone interested in the history of rock music. From the live footage of the Pistols wreaking havoc onstage, to the the genuine emotion displyed by John Lydon when discussing the heroin addiction and death of friend and bandmate Sid Vicious, this movie is simply incredible. I've watched it at home dozens of times and it never gets old. Very highly recommended. March 14, 2007
The Filth And The Fury
This is a great story of strange time for a band that changed a lot of things in rock&roll. This is the story in their own words with some great footage before everyone had video cameras and the internet. If you liked the Pistols and want a raw story and the history of the band, this is THE one to have. March 9, 2007
Nostalgia for sexy noise of the seventies
To me, it is much more left to imagine than doco had shown already.
A useful work as still not so much to see of this scandalously famous band grasping the fame a generation ago.
