Rude Boy is a 1980 British film directed by Jack Hazan and David Mingay and filmed in 1978 and early 1979.
The film, part fiction, part rockumentary, tells the story of Ray Gange, a young Clash fan who leaves his dead-end job in a sleazy Soho sex shop to become a roadie for the band.[1][2][3] The film also includes extensive footage of the Clash at a Rock Against Racism concert at Victoria Park,[1] on their On Parole and Sort It Out tours,[4] and in the studio recording the album Give 'Em Enough Rope. The film was named after the rude boy subculture and over the years won a cult following.[5][6][7]
