Trivia

'Tim Roth' turned down the role of Johnny Rotten (John Lydon) as he felt the film depicted history that was too recent. See more »

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: When Sid is being beaten up by three men on the railway tracks, Malcolm and one of the roadies come to his aid. After the roadie hits one of the guys, Malcolm walks up and points his hands/fingers in the shape of a gun. There is the sound of a gun being cocked and the men react as if it is a real gun. Malcolm even fires a shot from his "hand gun" into the man laying on the ground. See more »
