The Clash are now one of the most highly-rated bands from the late '70s. They were experimenting with reggae, disco, rap, and funk years before it became popular to do so. DVD review.
An unemployed music fan roadies for The Clash.
Engrossing movie that resembles a documentary. People wave at the camera, there's plenty of Clash footage, there's a confusing sub-plot about blacks dealing drugs, Margaret Thatcher makes a appearance, and best of all there's interesting footage of unemployed Britian. A raw movie that looks better now that The Clash are back in favour when more successful bands from that era are now forgotten. The bassist in the band comes across as the most down to earth member. Tall Gange in the lead role is very good and he gets on with most of the band. I loved that scene where he shouts to the audience "The Clash". Another interesting part of the movie was the empty street scenes where Gange walks alone.
Rude Boy is essential viewing for all music fans.
