Why was Patsy Kensit left off of the credits?


She was the backup singer who only sang a little but she was blonde and they recruited her for sex appeal. She has since been more famous (or infamous) for her marriages than for a career.

I do not recall Patsy Kensit in this film. The blonde they recruited for sex appeal was someone else. If I can find out who, I will edit.

Edit; Angeline Ball played Imelda Quirk, the blonde recruited for sex appeal.

Patsy watched it on completion and insisted that her name was removed in the hope that it wouldnt ruin her career due to its utterly pish plot, script and soundtrack

Jaaaaack!...I aint putting decent villians inside for a lousy oner from the police fund!

That isn't Patsy Kensit -- Angeline Ball played Imelda Quirke.

No she isnt in it

Hehehe. I think this was meant as a joke/sarcastic comment 

But yeah, I agree Kensit looked/look a lot like Imelda.

All these voices in my head, and not a single one I understand.
