Summary: A rather incoherent post-breakup Sex Pistols "documentary", told from the point of view of Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren, whose (arguable) position is that the Sex Pistols in particular and punk rock in general were an elaborate scam perpetrated by him in order to make "a million pounds." Silly and hard to follow at times, but worth seeing for some excellent Pistols concert footage, some wickedly amusing animated sequences, and Sid Vicious' eerily prophetic performance of "My Way."

Quite amusing, with a number of laughs throughout. Tended to go off the track toward the end, but...the footage of the band playing was of course great, and I liked the animation a lot too. The whole thing was very inventive and wacky and nicely tongue-in-cheek, and made for a truly madcap spoof. Also there was Steve Jones wearing his Gumby hat in concert and Sid's cover of two great Eddie Cochran songs.
