    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Jeff Beck guested on guitar in two songs and was supposed to have been in the film, but asked not to appear in it because he felt his solos and his appearance, looking more like a '60s blues rocker than Bowie and the Spiders' theatrical outfits didn't quite fit the movie. His performances have been added to the film for its 50th anniversary re-release.
    • Quotes
      • David Bowie: What do you know about make-up? You're Just a Girl.
    • Alternate versions
      The 50th anniversary re-release has been restored in 4K picture and sound, and features two previously un-released songs featuring Jeff Beck in the encore (specifically "The Jean Genie" and "Round and Round").
