      Colson Baker, aka Machine Gun Kelly, who played Tommy Lee, has tattoos covering his body and had to wear body makeup to cover them for the role.
    • Goofs
      While the movie suggests Doc McGee was fired because he brought Nikki's mom to see him, Motley Crue fired McGee in 1989 after the Moscow Music Peace Festival. The band thought McGee was favoring another band he was managing, Bon Jovi, by giving them top billing and letting them use fireworks in their show.
    • Quotes

      Nikki Sixx: How many chicks have you fucked so far?

      Vince Neil: Three.

      Nikki Sixx: No, not today. On the tour.

      Vince Neil: Oh, man. I lost count after that gang bang in Salt Lake City.

      [laughs]

      Nikki Sixx: That was fun.

      Vince Neil: What about you, old man?

      Mick Mars: Did you ever stop to think that the slobs who fuck you guys probably fuck every other band who comes through town?

      [pause, then Nikki, Tommy, and Vince laugh hysterically]

      Vince Neil: Yeah. Yes, they do.

      Tommy Lee: Dude, we're like pussy brothers with the whole scene.

      [continued laughing]

      Mick Mars: I happen to have respect for myself and the females of our species, unlike you animals.

    The wait was worth it!
    "The Dirt" Drinking Game: take a shot of Jack Daniels whenever you hear the words "dude", "man" or "chicks". Take a shot for each bare breast you see. Check yourself into rehab 1.5 hours later.

    I had been waiting to see this film for 12 years - ever since 17-year-old-me first read "The Dirt". It doesn't disappoint. In fact, it was way more enjoyable and fun than I thought it would be. It's cringeworthy, cheesy as hell and over-the-top - but then so is 80s rock. "The Dirt" seems self-aware of this though and doesn't take itself too seriously. It regularly breaks that fourth wall to hilarious effect.

    It's basically a comedy with a side of debauchery, partying and drug addiction. Oh and there's occasionally some awesome music thrown in too. It follows the four band member narratives just like in the book - and it works. I came away with Mick Mars having become my new favourite member of Mötley Crüe. I feel they got the personalities dead-on.

    Given the length of the book, this rollercoaster felt like it was over all too soon. Still, it was fun while it lasted - much like the career of Motley itself. Go into this with an open mind, don't take it too seriously and just enjoy the ride.

    Most fun I've had watching a movie in ages. I'm off to go spin my copy of "Dr Feelgood" now!
