The Runaways Movie

Post by marc61 »

For legal reasons, the bassist character was fictional but, she used what I guess was a 4001v63 (which obviously would be incorrect for the time) or maybe a real RM? Dunno but the bass is more prominent than the character in the film.

I wonder why the bassist in the movie couldn't portray Jackie Fox? :?
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

Jackie wouldn't give permission. There's an article about it on Yahoo. Sorry for not being able to post the link.

A friend of mine from Delta High School here in Hamilton directed this film...

I did theatre productions with her sister. She later also directed a pile of music videos for folks like The Cure and David Bowie.
