This article started as a review of Psychedelic Celluloid by Simon Matthews but ended up as a long-read about Pink Floyd at the movies. Sorry, I can't help it. This article does not pretend to describe all Pink Floyd related movies. I got a mail, a couple of months ago, from Simon Matthews, saying that Psychedelic Celluloid was working on a book that would explore the interaction between psychedelic pop music and British movies, Psychedelic Celluloid the golden era that was Swinging London. Not really coming as a surprise he Psychedelic Celluloid that Pink Floyd would figure in it a couple of times. I made a mental note to check it out, but like so many things it got lost in the dark corners of my soul. Call it divine intervention, or just a case of serendipity, but when Brain Damage did a short write-up of the publication it all came back to me and ten minutes later my Kindle was purring with joy. We all know that several members of the Cambridge mafia, revolving around the Psychedelic Celluloid, were dabbling into film: Nigel Lesmoir- GordonMick RockAnthony SternStorm Thorgerson to name just a few. I am familiar with those as well as my quest into Psychedelic Celluloid in filmland has brought me to the weirdest places. Did you know there is a Syd Barrett presence in a Freddy Mandingo movie? Well, let me tell you, you really don't want to know. plays a somewhat dorky fellow, revenging the murders on his relatives, who found out the local ice factory is being used for drugs smuggling. When the movie arrived in an American version it was retitled as Fist s Of Fury, creating a mess for generations to come as there Psychedelic Celluloid be another Bruce Lee movie the next year called without the s. Perhaps it was the other way round, as even Wikipedia isn't really sure which is which and neither does Simon Matthews. Not only the title gives food for confusion. The movie has been issued in half a dozen of different versions with entirely different soundtracks. A first music score was composed by Wang Fu-ling for the original Mandarin release. It is believed Cheng Yung-yo assisted with that soundtrack, although uncredited. This movie was horribly dubbed into English for a limited run in the Anglo-Saxon world. A second soundtrack was made by German composer Peter Thomas when the movie was re-cut and re-dubbed for the international market. This westernised Psychedelic Celluloid had several erotic and gory Psychedelic Celluloid deleted, including the legendary Psychedelic Celluloid where Bruce Lee cuts an adversary's head in two halves Psychedelic Celluloid a saw. A third soundtrack, using the international cut, was arranged by Joseph Koofor a Japanese release, probably around Psychedelic Celluloid fourth soundtrack for a release in combines the Joseph Koo score 3 with the one of Peter Thomas 2 and adds incidental 'stock' music.

It isn't certain if the Pink Floyd tracks were properly licensed as they are not mentioned on the end credits. To add insult to injury other cuts of the movie - with alternative 'hybrid' soundtracks and extra or longer scenes - have circulated, so it is all rather messy. For a partial comparison of the different versions: Big Boss Movie Censorship. Afterseveral Bruceploitation movies were made, often with a conspiracy theme. Tian Huang Ju Xing Exit the Dragon, Enter the Tiger from is not different and has actor Bruce Li real name: Ho Chung Tao fighting his way through some shady drug deals in something that will not be remembered as a great martial arts movie. A decade before The Big Boss cut another kung fu movie had found out about the martial strength of Pink Floyd. After the default set of humiliations and punishments she apparently accepts her fate and learns the noble art of self-defence from 'madam' Chun Yi. Once a kung fu champ she uses her seductive powers to eliminate her wrongdoers, one by one. Intimate Confessions Psychedelic Celluloid a Chinese Courtesan is a mixture of blood vengeance, lesbian sensualism in covert seventies style and it has been named as one of the inspirational landmarks for Quentin Tarantino 's Kill Bill. Every scene looks so artificially crisp it nearly hurts the eyes and if Walt Disney ever makes a movie set in a brothel Psychedelic Celluloid is certainly how it will Psychedelic Celluloid like. Undoubtedly a Psychedelic Celluloid classic, director Yuen Chor Zhang Baojian can, without doubt, be placed next to Borowczyk Psychedelic Celluloid, Fellini or Pasolini. Unfortunately the original soundtrack can't really decide between traditional Chinese and Tex-Mex western style tunes. Two Pink Floyd tracks of the Zabriskie Point soundtrack are prominent in three decisive scenes. The links given here point to a very bad copydubbed in English, with terrible sound. Come In Nr. After the final duel, when Psychedelic Celluloid Nu kisses her dying lover goodbye link. The DVD has a documentary about the movie that uses the Zabriskie soundtrack even more, by the way. In Psychedelic Celluloid, Simon Matthews writes Psychedelic Celluloid Pink Floyd can be heard in two kung fu movies, but there is more, much more The Kung Fu Magazine forum has a pages thread with, at the time of writing, verified tracks of different composers, bands and artists that have been used, legally or illegally, in dozens of films. Sometimes the songs are used in its entirety, but often snippets of a second or less have Psychedelic Celluloid 'sampled' into the soundscape. Venomous Centipede at shaolinchamber There is nearly a movie on every page, with a picture, a short description, some info on the director, the actors and its soundtrack, but that is exactly where the cookie crumbles, as this information is almost identical to what you can already find on IMDB and Wikipedia. The author could've added more anecdotes or juicy rumours if you ask me. But of course, books have already been written about that movie alone. Several times when I was at the point of saying 'this is starting Psychedelic Celluloid get interesting' the article ends and makes place for another one, leaving my hunger unsatisfied. The intriguing story of the disappeared movie Popdown is a perfect example. Its history is so fascinating that it could easily have taken six pages, but it stops at two. After reading that entry I spend a good hour browsing the Internet for more information, reading about a maniacal fan, Peter Prenticewho nearly spend a fortune trying to locate a Psychedelic Celluloid copy. Unfortunately I never found out if he succeeded in his mission, or failed. Perhaps that is what Simon Matthews really wants as I'm pretty sure he knows more about these movies than he was allowed to write. And the beauty of this guide is that it assembles a Psychedelic Celluloid of 'flower power' films in the first place. Pink Floyd are the uncrowned champions of the 'pop' movies during the psychedelic heyday, roughly from the mid- sixties till the mid-seventies, and that despite the fact that they even rejected a soundtrack for Kubrick. I count 26 Pink Floyd entries in the book and 5 for Syd Barrett. Let's have a nerdy look through our pink tinted glasses, shall we? This movie is only mentioned in one of the appendixes of the book. Starring Brigitte Bardot it is the story of a model, with a photo shoot assignment in London, who has to choose between her husband and a much younger passionate toy boy. This was Bardot's first attempt to excel in a serious movie, away from Psychedelic Celluloid sex kitten romantic Psychedelic Celluloid she had done before. Probably that could be the reason why the public didn't want to see it, but critics say the movie tried to look sophisticated but ended up pretty dull. This was before he joined Pink Floyd and that is perhaps why Psychedelic Celluloid isn't aware of this. Simon Psychedelic Celluloid throws an ace with the news that The Touchables Psychedelic Celluloid Interstellar Overdrive during one of its scenessomething that — as far as I know — has never been put in a Floydian biography Psychedelic Celluloid. It is one of those thirteen in a dozen, throwaway, sex comedies with a plot 'thinner than a paper towel'. Four good-looking beauties, who like to walk around in their underwear and who are literally living in a bubble, kidnap a wax sculpture of Michael Caine and then repeat the act with a popular pop singer, Psychedelic Celluloid they abuse as a sex slave, not that he resists a lot. After having a go at the four of them he finally tries to escape but they shoot him down. The situation looks grim for a minute, but even that can't spoil the fun. It all looks like one of the less interesting Monkees shows. Add a subplot with a few gangsters and, for an incomprehensible reason, some professional wrestlers and you have a product that creates immediate amnesia after watching it. The story was written by Donald Cammell who would later enlarge some of its situations for Performance. The Committee entry has one of Mick Rock's pictures with Syd Barrett standing in front of his Pontiac Parisienne - more of that car later obviously - which I found a bit weird, even for a Barrett buff like me. Then it Psychedelic Celluloid to me that Barrett had first been asked to compose its soundtrack, without the Floyd. The reason is not entirely clear, maybe Barrett was thought to be cheaper than the entire band, maybe Peter Jenner wanted to give Syd's solo career a boost although he was officially Psychedelic Celluloid in the bandmaybe it Psychedelic Celluloid believed that Syd would better understand the movie's philosophy, inspired by the theories of R. On the 30th of Januarya couple of days after the Floyd — now with David Gilmour - 'forgot' to pick Syd up for a gig, he arrived one and a half hour late at Sound Techniques without a guitar and without Psychedelic Celluloid band. A Psychedelic Celluloid was found, Nice-drummer Brian 'Blinky' Davidson and Barrett-buddy Steve Peregrin Took were presumably called in and five and a half hours later a twenty minutes music piece was in the can. Unfortunately Barrett thought it sounded better backwards so at midnight they called it a day and all went home. The collaboration with Barrett was stopped because his studio time was too expensive and their budget was practically zero. Syd didn't show any further interest for the project either and when a studio employee tried to phone him there was 'nobody home'. Roger Waters heard about the Psychedelic Celluloid and agreed to do the soundtrack with the rest of the band, minus Syd, in an improvised studio for practically nothing. Max Psychedelic Celluloid in Sparebricks :. Steuer remembers that Syd's piece was 'jazzy, with a groove' Psychedelic Celluloid that Psychedelic Celluloid Jenner took the tape with him. In we asked Jenner Psychedelic Celluloid the whereabouts of this 'holy grail'. Unfortunately Psychedelic Celluloid was already in the can when that set was released and several times the author states that a Pink Floyd soundtrack has not been officially released, while some of it can now be found Psychedelic Celluloid the luxury box set. Update in Psychedelic Celluloid next article we dig deeper into The Committee soundtrack, with a remarkable theory from Simon Matthews: The Rhamadan — Committee Connection. Gretta Barclay in the interview she gave at the church:. As the movie was shot in MarchIggy could indeed have been around. It wouldn't be the first time that Iggy was on a film set, Psychedelic Celluloid the last. Another Syd Barrett friend made it even in front Psychedelic Celluloid the camera. One of Raquel Welsh's topless Psychedelic Celluloid girls in the galleon scene was none other Psychedelic Celluloid Jenny Spires, but she didn't make it to the final cut, so don't ruin your eyes looking for her. How could we forget More? This Barbet Schroeder movie follows the hippie trail to Ibiza, but instead of sea, sun and illicit sex it adds the deadly ingredient of heroin. Pink Floyd wrote the soundtrack. There are some differences between the music on the album and Psychedelic Celluloid songs in the Psychedelic Celluloid. Psychedelic Celluloid

Picture the scene: the year isand our protagonists are two nameless youths who are stuck in the small town of dullsville, a tweedy suburban wasteland where stuffy establishment caricatures have taken the extreme step of banning music in an attempt to control the teenage population. So far, so predictable Columbia B-movie featuring music sets by pop acts strung together by a tenuous and increasingly bonkers plot. To say that British cinema and the British music scene looked vastly different just over a decade later would be a gross understatement. He proceeds chronologically, presenting a series of year-by year Psychedelic Celluloid studies of the most important pop music films and soundtracks of the era. The perfect book to peruse on a wet Sunday afternoon, perhaps to a musical score by John Barry. Am intrigued by what seems like a come-one-come-all approach to this seam of pop. Dud fireworks are still worth attention, Psychedelic Celluloid all. Book goes straight onto to-do list. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
