Who Killed Bambi?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Who Killed Bambi? was to be the first film featuring the Sex Pistols which was due to be released in 1978. Russ Meyer was due to direct from a script by Roger Ebert and Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren, the film was intended as a punk version of A Hard Day's Night. As noted by Ebert in his obituary of Meyer, only a day and a half's worth of shooting was ever achieved, as the filming stopped due to financial problems. The shot footage includes Sting as the leader of a pretty-boy pop group called The Blow-Waves that assault drummer Paul Cook as he stops to ask for directions.

McLaren eventually made The Great Rock and Roll Swindle with director Julien Temple which included some short scenes from Meyer's short shoot, including the title shot of a deer being killed. More footage emerged for inclusion in the 2000 documentary The Filth and the Fury.

In 2003 a French thriller was released also called Who Killed Bambi? Apart from the name there is no connection between the two projects.
