About this movie

American filmmaker Jim Jarmusch's documentary love letter to punk icons Iggy Pop and his band the Stooges. Michigan-born Iggy's youthful music career wavered, until he found his Stooges soulmates in Dave Alexander (bass), and brothers Ron (guitar) and Steve Asheton (drums). Three ground-breaking albums and just a few years later, the band was literally falling apart. Iggy gleefully relates the story of those crazy years from ‘I Wanna Be Your Dog' to ‘Raw Power'. Gimme Danger is brimful of music, clips and anecdotes, including Bowie, Nico and the crowd-surfing Iggy himself.

Good band. Terrible documentary. It jumps from one thing to another with no explanation or cohesiveness. The band goes from guys who can't play their instruments to having a manager and getting signed to a major label with zero explanation in between. As a documentary, it makes no sense. I like the Stooges, but it was difficult to get through the whole boring film. I wanted it to end.
