Famous documentary of the LA punk scene circa 1979 1980. Cheaply made, but as is the case with most documentaries, interesting if you're interested in the subject matter. The LA punk scene was a real cultural ferment and the movie shows this ably. A theme of the movie is the violence attendant in the scene people seemed to really worry about this back then, and we do see a mini-riot sparked by the ultra-lame Circle Jerks, and an attempt to spark one from the more talented, but still pretty lame, Fear. Movie's most interesting for it's footage of Black Flag in its early years and the Germs, perpetually on the edge of falling apart but undeniably riveting live. Also has Catholic Discipline (sucks, and Kickboy Face is ridiculous), X (pretty good), and The Alice Bag Band (surprisingly pretty good).
