 Encyclopedia: The Punk Rock Movie
The Punk Rock Movie was assembled from Super 8 camera footage shot by Don Letts, the disc jockey at the Roxy club during the early days of the UK punk rock movement, between 1977 and 1979.
Punk rock is an anti-establishment music movement beginning around 1976 (although precursors can be found several years earlier), exemplified and popularised by The Ramones, the Sex Pistols, The Clash and The Damned.
The film captures the energy and vibrancy of this period, and features archive live footage of the bands The Clash, the Sex Pistols, Wayne County and the Electric Chairs, Generation X, Slaughter and the Dogs, The Slits, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Eater, Subway Sect, X-Ray Spex, Alternative TV and The Heartbreakers.

 Floyd the Chimp: Punk 9/11
It's the first punk rock movie: it must have cost less to make than The Blair Witch Project, and yet he's managed to distil reality and come up with something more powerful.
Punk music is ignorant, angry in an intensely shallow and unthinking way, lacking in any artistic depth or skill and, most importantly, dependent for its success on the stupidity and cluelessness of its fans.
"Punk," much more than a musical form, is just an attitude (a childish and reactive one at that), a pose that one takes, and the "music" is just a prop for that pose.

Movie captures an exciting moment in the development of some artists that are still imitated and adulated today.
While the Sex Pistols and the Clash are likely to be the most familiar names in attendance, The Punk Rock Movie spends plenty of time on some legendary acts that never licked the same brass ring.
Most of the film is live, loud, breakneck rock, featuring some energetic footage of the Sex Pistols at the height of their hype and the Clash set for stun and gathering its army.

I had bought The Punk Rock Movie on video tape in 1994 and was amazed at seeing video footage of the British punk rock bands: The clash, Eater, Billy Idol and Generation X, The slits, Siousxie and the Banshees, of course, the Sex Pistols, just so amazed.
Very shocking, because I had previously not known about the movement, this 'punk rock' Oh, I had heard the term but I was unaware, for example, I clearly remember seeing the clash perform on Saturday Night Live but that was it.

 Punk film
Although completely misguided into the punk rock opinions of rape and drug use, it does score right on the money with its comparisons to the hippies of the 60's and the discrimination that many punk rockers faced from others because of the way that they chose to look and the music that they loved.
Otto, a baby-face punk played by Emilio Estevez, becomes an apprentice to Bud (Harry Dean Stanton), a coke-snorting, veteran repo-man-of-honor prowling the streets of a Los Angeles wasteland populated by hoods, wackos, burnouts, conspiracy theorists, and aliens of every stripe.
As played to perfection by Gary Oldman and Chloe Webb, Sid and Nancy are made for each other, serving their mutual strengths and weaknesses and rising with the punk-rock fame of Sid's group, the Sex Pistols, while falling into the ultimately lethal pit of drug abuse.

The movie is crammed with wildly imaginative sights and sounds, but parents should be warned that it's not for young children.
The movie is at once a portrait of a great city, a penetrating character study, and an existential rumination on the human condition, all in less time than it takes the average Hollywood picture to set up its big chase scene.
Waters fills the movie with his usual touches of outrageously bad taste, but beneath the sophomoric shocks his story has a serious message about self-absorbed artists who care more about their own careers than the privacy of the people around them.

The movie is more than just punk rock and a cute face.
Yes, the movie is overflowing with angsty dialogue, but that is the whole point of the flick.

 Favorite Punk Rock Film [Archive] - Light Blue Extra
I guess the only real "punk" related elements of it are that it's a low budget film and the gang in the movie, the Cretins, dressed kinda punk/new wave.
I took the movie personally however, as I have found through music many people who I can relate to and share the same ideals that I could not have expressed before that.
Although that is not obviously a word for word quote, I thought some of comments by some individuals were very negative and actually destroying the some of the ideals that punk rock and hardcore were founded on.

The movie is a full length, 90 minute flick that is being shot on digital video using the Canon XL-1 digital camcorder (right) and will be edited on a video editing PC computer.
Since the punk culture is pretty diverse in style with sub-genres like new school, old school, ska, emo, hardcore, etc., I decided to make each member of the band in the movie belong to different groups.
For example, one character in the movie is a hardcore, militant straight-edge punk who comically goes on rants about the dangers of drugs and his belief that caffeine is a gateway drug.

Hopefully that's the case with 'Punk Rock Holocaust,' which is now available on DVD, because the film looked like something I should be enjoying it, but I wasn't.

 Anime News Service-Review: Shenmue: The Movie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The movie is based on Shenmue's first game Chapter 1: Yokosuka, part of a sixteen part series that begins in 1986 with Ryo Hazuki witnessing the murder of his father Iwao at the hand of Lan Di, the mysterious and deadly leader of the Chinese Mafia group known as ChiYoMen.
Another is that the movie will use the Free Battle and Free Quest portions of the game for fight scenes or when Ryo opens doors and sneaks into places.
The movie is also a good starter point for those who want to play Shenmue 2 (There is a 13 minute digest movie on the Dreamcast version but who knows if it'll still be on XBOX), which in my opinion, is a far greater game in terms of adventure and spectacle.
