If you've ever seen the real Kim Fowley (you can on YouTube), you will see that Michael's Shannon's portrayal of him is not at all over the top. Jett is all girl and quite pretty, but she's always had the manner of a boy. She's got the slouchy guitar playing, the gum chewing, the swagger and the foggy voice nailed. But let's discuss "The Runaways." Kristen Stewart's portrayal of Jett is phenomenal. In "Edgeplay," which is a documentary, the rest of the band has its say.
Essentially, "The Runaways" is Joan Jett's and Cherie Currie's version of things. I say version because there is another film on this band called "Edgeplay," which complements this movie perfectly.

Their cover of “Nausea” also appears in Dave’s new documentary What Drives Us which premieres on Friday.
Guys, this is basically a Nirvana reunion! His daughter Violet just made her TV performance debut alongside her ol’ pop for a cover of the 1980s punk band X’s song “Nausea.” We are loving the Runaways “Cherry Bomb” vibe to her vocals and look!ĭave and Violet were joined by Dave Lombardo and Greg Kurstin for the Jimmy Kimmel Live! performance, but we cannot overlook the fact that his former Nirvana bandmate Krist Novoselic was also there to play bass.
