Trivia: Marianne Faithfull was to play Sid's mother, but backed out at the idea of a sex scene ...............................................................................
Wasn't Sids mother one of the people shot during his performance of My Way?
Surely they mean Steve Jones' girlfriend in the cinema, don't they?
If so what the hell is this piece of trivia about?
Actually if you watch the dvd with the commentary during the "my way" scene the director says that it actually was Sid’s mum, the one that he shoots. I recommend everyone watch that scene with commentary because it’s really interesting what they say especially about Sid and the irony of killing his mum.
Its actually not Sids mother, its a "look-a-like" , so to say. Sid's mom was asked to be in it but when she heard that Sid wanted to shoot her in the film, she said no.
another good cuestion...what´s the name of the girl that plays the role of Sue Catwoman?,I know that is a 14 years old actress but her name is a mistery to me...

I gathered that. But what I was asking was why did Marianne Faithful back out of the idea of playing Sid's mother due to the idea of a sex scene? The only time Sids mother is in the film is during the My Way sequence.
The only sex scenes in this film are with Steve and Mary Millington in the cinema, the Cambridge Rapist Hotel and briefly in Brazil, and Sids mother isn't involved in any of those scenes so surely some wires have been crossed here?

I think Marianne Faithful may have been asked to appear as his mum when the movie was to be directed by Russ Meyer when it was called "Who Killed Bambi". The script was apparently nothing like TGRRS at all so it must have contained the offensive scene.
In the original script, the 'sex scene' with Sid and whoever played his mother started off with him eating a mars bar wedged between her thighs..and well...not stopping when he got to the end of the mars bar type idea.
Easy to see why this was cut from the script and not even filmed.
For those of you who say that it was a stand in and not really his mother what proof do you have because if you actually listen to the commentary on the DVD the director of the film does state that its his really mother and is very certain of the fact.
I have a book his mother released that is basically just a family photo album with handwritten notes by her. She is in some of the photos and it's irrefutably obvious she is NOT the woman in the movie. Jeesh, I can't believe I wasted this much time indulging the non-argument of an imbecile.
The marianne scene in fact was to show sid in bed with his mother. Marianne didnt like the idea of this. Maybe it was cos there wasnt a mars bar in sight...........
