* DisownedAdaptation: Music/JohnLydon (a.k.a Johnny Rotten) has been pretty vocal about his dislike for this movie, particularly as he was never seriously consulted about any of the events, he also believed that band members were mischaracterised and the whole movie became a romanticised tale about drug use rather than a serious biopic. Additionally, according to Lydon, Music/SexPistols drummer Paul Cook hated the movie even more than him.

That, and he gave the best and most faithful performance of anyone in the film.
