Courtney Love: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (early appearance): Sid and Nancy → Courtney Love. A young Courtney Love is visible in the background, in the very first scene.
    “you can also see a youngish Courtney Love in the background of the of the movie”
    The Big Picture · ‘Elvis,’ ‘Walk Hard’ and Top Five Music Biopics · 1:09:00 · Sean Fennessey (0.70 sure it was them)

Daniel Day-Lewis: 1 line what-if ×1

  1. what-if (almost-cast): Sid and Nancy → Daniel Day-Lewis. The Sid Vicious part almost went to Daniel Day-Lewis rather than Gary Oldman.
    “this is almost Daniel Day Lewis, it almost wasn't Gary Oldman, which would have also been a fascinating wrinkle.”
    The Big Picture · ‘Elvis,’ ‘Walk Hard’ and Top Five Music Biopics · 1:10:15 · Sean Fennessey (0.70 sure it was them)

Repo Man: 1 line people ×1

  1. people (same director, opposite vibe): Sid and Nancy → Repo Man. Alex Cox made punk-adjacent Repo Man (affirmative vibes) then Sid and Nancy (apocalyptic) back to back.
    “Repo Man is a kind of punk movie, but the vibes are good in Repo Man”
    The Big Picture · ‘Elvis,’ ‘Walk Hard’ and Top Five Music Biopics · 1:09:50 · Adam Nayman (0.80 sure it was them)

Fun items about it

  1. fun, about Sid and Nancy: Adam rented it at 10 or 11 because the cover box looked like it was about deeply unhappy addicts; the last 10-15 minutes are brutal and the postscript is a gut shot.
    “10 or 11 year old Adam rented when he shouldn't have and just severely fucked him up.”
    The Big Picture · ‘Elvis,’ ‘Walk Hard’ and Top Five Music Biopics · 1:06:22 · Adam Nayman (0.95 sure it was them)
  2. fun, about Sid and Nancy: Gary Oldman and Chloe Webb have a documentary texture and look possessed.
    “it's not made like a documentary, but the acting has a documentary texture in it, like Gary Oldman and Chloe Webb.”
