It's a great movie, I can't believe other reviewers couldn't see that. It is not for everyone, sure, and maybe you'll find some things offensive in it but it is a punk movie, after all. I don't think you should watch it for Joan Jett only, and the movie is not about her. But Ray Sharkey in the title role, wow, it's one of his best roles, I think. He is totally sleazy and insanely charming, crazy and captivating. The movie itself is extremely fast, violent, messy, nightmarish, funny and clever. Maybe if you expect something conventional, it might be difficult to get into it, but if you can open your mind, you'll feel how attractive it is.

Well El Duce's "role" was sort of interesting. I was totally annoyed by the barely audible running commentary by him and a couple of his groupies (?) during the film. At one point there's a minute long super-fast mismash-collage of all the scenes in the movie, which was interesting, plus Tex and the Horseheads and Joahanna Whendt were fascinating. Overall, if they had cut out all the footage which was supposed to tie the whole film together and released the old footage of the bands and Joan Jett's performances, this would have been a good half hour well spent. RIP - El Duce

All I have to say is that although I gave this flick a 1 out of 10, I still think everyone interested in unusual films should see it. It's just fun to think about how something this bizarre could get made, let alone distributed. No description could ever depict how utterly awful but fascinating du-beat-E-o is.

The worst piece of crap I've ever seen. The ONLY plus was seeing all that old footage of Joan Jett spliced into the movie but all in all,I have never seen anything as bad.
