    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Joan Jett was irritated with the fact that Kristen Stewart was constantly in leather pants. She stated in the Blu-ray commentary that jeans would have been more accurate because she never wore leather pants. However, there are many pictures of Joan Jett from this period in which she is wearing leather pants.
    • Goofs
      When copies of a Japanese magazine are distributed to the band members, the cover is on the wrong side, as in a western magazine. Japanese magazine covers are on the opposite side, as publications are all right to left.
    • Quotes
      • Kim Fowley: Joan! This is Joan Jett. And you are?
      • Cherie Currie: Cherie.
      • Kim Fowley: Cherie? Cherie what?
      • Cherie Currie: Currie.
      • Kim Fowley: Cherie Currie. That's your real name? Tell me, Cherie Currie, can you sing or play a musical instrument?
      • Cherie Currie: Yeah. Yeah, I can sing. I won a talent show lip-syncing David Bowie. Why?
      • Kim Fowley: "Why?" ask the maybe-great Cherie Currie. Read my lips. We love your look. We're choosing you to become a part of rock 'n' roll history. Do you want to be in the band?
      • Cherie Currie: Are you kidding?
      • Kim Fowley: How old are you?
      • Cherie Currie: Fifteen.
      • Kim Fowley: Jail fucking bait. Jack fucking pot!
    • Alternate versions
      The UK release was cut, this film was originally shown to the BBFC in an unfinished version. The BBFC advised the distributor that the film was likely to receive an 18 classification but that the requested 15 classification could be obtained by making cuts in one sequence, to remove sight of two teenage girls sniffing glue. When the finished version of the film was submitted, all sight of glue sniffing had been removed and the film was classified 15.
