Unavailable on home video for many years (except perhaps as a grainy, nth-generation VHS bootleg), Penelope Spheeris' seminal document of the young 1979-1980 Los Angeles punk scene includes chaotic live performances by now-legendary groups like Black Flag (with short-lived lead singer Ron "Chavo Pederast" Reyes), X (giving themselves stick-and-poke tattoos) and the Germs (whose unpredictable lead singer Darby Crash would commit suicide before the film's release) interwoven with talking-head interviews with teenage punks and, most entertainingly, older club owners trying very hard to describe a growing form of music they were clearly unprepared for. The footage of Fear's confrontational set would later grab the attention of John Belushi, who snagged the band a 1981 appearance on Saturday Night Live (and resulted in $20,000 in damage to the studio). - Tom Fritsche

若松监督が'71 年夏、足立正生と、パレスチナの闘争を描く『赤军-ＰＦＬＰ 世界革命戦争宣言』を撮影したとき、现地で协力したのは重信だった。その後足立が日本赤军に参加し、若松监督は彼らに会うため毎年のようにレバノンのベイルートへ通い始める。 　　远山は、その映画『赤军-ＰＦＬＰ 世界革命戦争宣言』の上映运动のために、当时原宿のセントラル・アパートにあった若松プロに出入りしていた。 　　そういった彼女たちとの実际の関わりが、この映画制作に対する若松监督の大きなモチベーションになっている。登场人物同様、彼もまた「あの时代」を生きたのだ。重信と远山が登场するシーンは、若松监督のおなじみの场所、新宿ゴールデン街でも撮影された。

The third (and seemingly final) installment in Penelope Spheeris' Los Angeles music trilogy, THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION III follows not the punk acts of Los Angeles from 1996-1997 but their homeless teenaged fans. Musician interviews in this DECLINE are fewer but include interesting musings from Keith Morris from the Circle Jerks and Flea (credited as the "ex-bass player of Fear"). DECLINE III lives up to its title as Spheeris explores every facet of the gutter-punk life, from their damaged upbringings (nearly all were abused or neglected as children) to the self-destructive lives they lead on society's fringe (alcoholism, homelessness and run-ins with skinheads, among others). - Tom Fritsche
