I had heard that there would be some of the footage from the aborted Russ Meyer(director)/Roger Ebert (screenwriter) Sex Pistols movie, but there was none here (at least non credited.) Does anyone know whether any of that footage was used here or whether it has ever seen the light of day somewhere else?
shareThere was Russ Meyer-directed footage in the The Filth & The Fury. Don't you remember where Paul Cook explains that the bands royalties were being used to finance the film (which was Malcom McLarens idea and something the band weren't really that interested in doing) and the Sex Pistols did not know about it, it showed the scene with Sting where he and two other guys are basically trying to rape Paul in the back of his car. This was a scene from the now burried Russ Meyer-directed Who Killed Bambi.
There's also brief footage of previously unseen Sid Vicious animation, where he is attacking that journalist Nick Kent with a chain. I'm not sure if this is Russ Meyer directed footage though, it could just be a deleted scene from Julien Temple's The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle.
The clip where the girl runs out shouting "They've Killed Bambi" and we see a shot of a dead deer.
That was filmed by Meyer. The deer is shot by the same actor/character who gets strangled on the train by 'Sue Catwoman' in "TGRR Swindle".
Also, in the Jonathan Ross series "Incredibly Strange Film Show" he does a piece on Meyer and we see the clip of the guy actually firing at the deer.
It's on youtube. Check out part 4 for the Bambi clip.
