In an odd sort of way, this movie seems to have foreshadowed and predicted John Lennon's own death.


Spoilers - with how...

Mick Jagger's character got shot at the end as well as the fact that it was John Lennon himself who lent his own Rolls Royce vehicle to be used in the movie.

Did anyone else get this disturbing feeling after watching this?

With that also in mind but even without that...

Was this movie in a way trying to make a statement of some sort between organized crime and musical or other showbusiness with famous celebrities, thanks.

The film was released 10 years prior to his murder by Mark David Chapman in December 1980.

Also, prior to this film itself, there were even rumours that someone may have planned to assassinate Mick Jagger himself, although I am not privy to all the details.
