I watched it today with my Son, who is about the same age as I was when I 1st saw it.

Entetaining as Hell. William Dafoe and Lee Ving from FEAR.
Great score by Ry Cooder, some good music, a scene with The Blasters, one of the best Rockabilly bands ever and a couple ttally dated 80s songs.

I just allways loved how this film mixed elements from differnt genres and time peiriods. Cars from the 40s, cloths a combination of 1940s, 50s and punk. The cinamatography was pretty cool as well.

Anything with Lee Ving gets an automatic thumbs up!

When alot of the punkers from that period were a bunch of Liberal snots, Lee Ving wanted to start a war, beat your ass, steal your drugs and sodomize your girl.

Live for the Record is a tie for best punk live album with an old Johnny Thunder's Bootleg I used to have. Even the between song banter is fucking LOL! "Cause we don't want anyone getting anything tha'ts not coming to them. 'Specially what's coming to us."

On top of that, unlike many punk and hardcore bands, FEAR could fucking play. The blues breakdown in " More Beeis fucking like Mike Bloomfield with hate.

"I saw a man die of a heart attack in Manhattan.
Well we just stood there laughing at him.
Any guilt? Fuck no!
CAUSE I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU! FUCK YOU!"

Or

"LET'S HAVE A WAR! SO YOU CAN GO AND DIE!
LET'S HAVE A WAR! We'll all get fat like last time.
LETS HAVE A WAR! Blame it on the middle class.
LETS HAVE A WAR! Give guns to the Queers.
LETS HAVE A WAR! We can start in New Jersey.
LETS HAVE A WAR! The Enemies within.
It allready started in the city, or suburbia would be just as easy.
Ther's too many of us, theres to many of us, theres to many of us."

and

" MY HOUSE SMELLS JUST LIKE THE ZOO!
IT'S CHALK FULL OF SHIT AND PUKE.
WE GOT ROACHES ON THE WALLS!
CRABS ARE CRAWLING ON MY BALLS!
OH I LOOK SO CLEAN CUT AND I JUST WANT TO FUCK SOME SLUT!
CAUSE I LOVE LIVING IN THE CITY!
