This is by far the best movie about the HC scene ever produced. It's extremely definitive for a 90-minute movie, has some great insights into the fury of the scene from the people who helped create it, and is an overall joy to experience. I recommend picking up the book in addition to the DVD, as it has way more info on the bands in the movie as well as many more... can't fit 'em all into a 90 minute movie! My only gripe (and this goes for the book too) is that probably one of the most influential HC bands of the LA scene, FEAR, didn't receive nearly the recognition they deserve as pioneers of the genre. Nevertheless, it's a great pick for fans of the genre or those who want to get into it. Definitely rent before you buy (the special features on the DVD leave a bit to be desired... I picked up We Jam Econo a few weeks back and it has three full concerts on the second disc! Sets the standard a bit high, I suppose).
