LOCK DOWN THEATER NIGHT 35

Full disclosure: I have not seen this complete film. It's probably not for everyone. Come to think of it, the only people it is for are people who know who Johnny Thunders is and they've probably already seen it. At least a version of it. There's at least five versions. The filmmaker, Lech Kowalski, kept adding to it and editing it and then re-releasing it. It's kind slip shot, which may or may not be appropriate. The quality is dubious with the archive source material 8mm or 16mm film and primitive video. Whatever. I did spot check it. It seems to have way more Dee Dee Ramone in it than anyone really needs, but there is some good archival footage of the NY Dolls and the Heartbreakers.
