torrascotia I would struggle to class this as an actual movie. It appears to something more like an art-school project gone wrong, made by a bunch of friends who had lots of ideas about what they felt might be cool to see, but no way of turning this into a coherent plot. These scenes include girls boxing(badly), punks killing policemen, punks trying to pull the doors off a car (and failing), random murders, a bingo hall being shot up, some of the worst sex scenes since The Room and lots of bizarre poetical ramblings while someone dressed as a Queen tries to look interesting. The blurb suggests this about a Queen travelling into the future to see what has became of England. Although on viewing, there is very little of the Queen throughout the movie and she seems to have zero interaction with the main protagonists. The problem with this seems to be that she is superfluous to the story and really should have been edited out, as this film is far too long for what it contains. The main reason people may have an interest in this movie is the fact it has a few faces from the punk scene like Adam Ant and a harder to recognise Toyah Wilcox. Neither put in a good performance however they are very young in this movie and cant really pull off a convincing performance. Overall, the acting is this movie is terrible. It seems to consist of actors (unsure how many were actually actors?) either being overly aggressive or bursting into hysterical laughter for unknowable reasons. The musical scenes are instantly forgettable and do not seem to have any relevance to the plot. The only part of the movie which has anything like a plot comes towards the the end when the punks seek retribution on the police for a wrong doing. The violence and gore in the movie is mainly pointless and not convincing. The movie tries to shock but fails miserably. There really isn't much to recommend this, its not even in the so bad its good category. Its long, boring and pretentious and very surprising it has such a high rating.

Boba_Fett1138 Clearly this is not a movie for just everybody. It's an artistic movie, without a real story in it and lots of odd moments and characters in it. However once you get into the movie and understand its 'world' you get somewhat taken by it, no matter how weird things get.This is the sort of production you normally will only see in some obscure and small theater. It's also probably where it belongs, since it's not really the type of thing that translates itself well to the silver screen. The artistic approach to its world, characters and the acting and the whole idea behind this movie seems to be all more suitable for a theater production than a movie really.But having said that, I obviously didn't hated watching this movie. I could really appreciate it for what it was and what it was trying to do and tell. It's a kind of pretest movie and social commentary, that seems to fit really well within its time period and captures its time period really well too. The movie has a rebellious flair to it and it's kicking against numerous things, which all made me remind this movie somewhat of "A Clockwork Orange" (which this movie also tries to impersonate, I believe), also with all of its characters, settings and dialog. Surprisingly enough the movie also has some good musical numbers in it. After all, the movie is still a punk rock movie as well, which all also really adds to the movie its overall style of film-making and its atmosphere that goes along with it.This movie is simply good enough for what it is, once you get into it.6/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

JasonLeeSmith This movie had a shoestring budget, the acting wasn't very good, and the plot didn't make much sense; nevertheless, I liked it.The plot: At the request of Queen Elizabeth I, John Dee, her magician, summons an angel to show the Queen what life if like in the future. Flash-forward to a punk-rock future version of England. The world economy has completely collapsed, roving street gangs (and the police) randomly kill or terrorize people, and Top of the Pops is played constantly on Television.The story centers around a gang of female punks (an Historian, a Pyromaniac, a Nymphomaniac, their leader, and their au pair), who more or less aimlessly travel through London killing people.Like I've said, the plot is not very substantial, but the characters are very vivid and seem very real. Likewise, the writing is well done, and does a good job of highlighting the frustration and alienation of the era.There are some funny bits, there are some scary bits, and there are some boring bits. I thought I was going to be completely bored with the movie, but I wound up finding it very interesting.

h_wilson92 I have seen all of Derek Jarman's movies and this one is by far his best.This is the first British punk film and probably the best one that has ever been done.It was very difficult to describe this movie as it has many strange images from beginning to end.It is one of the most amazing movies.If you know Derek Jarman's style of directing then you will know he doesn't follow other director's ways of directing.This movie has a fantastic score from Adam and the Ants and many others.If you don't like nudity,sex,drugs and violence then do not watch this movie.This movie is very underrated.Watching this movie is a very rare experience that will come very few times in your life.I would recommend this movie to all punk fans rating: 10/10
