Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hard Core Logo is a 1996 Canadian mockumentary directed by Bruce McDonald, based on a Canadian experimental novel written by Michael Turner in 1993. Both works center around the reunion tour of the titular massively dysfunctional Canadian punk band, and the interactions between the band members, but the movie changes and expands on the novel in various ways, adds some additional characters (particularly "Bruce McDonald," the director of the documentary) and character traits (such as John's schizophrenia), alters the ending, and has a bigger fandom.HCL gained additional popularity when it was discovered by fans of Due South, since lead guitarist Billy Tallent was an early role for Callum Keith Rennie, the actor who played Ray Kowalski.

The Cameo: Several punk musicians—including Art Bergmann, Joey Shithead from D.O.A., and Joey Ramone of The Ramones—briefly appear as themselves during the rock shows.

The Alcoholic: Both Joe and Billy. On-stage and off, they're rarely seen without bottles of beer or something stronger in hand. In one interview, Joe admits he doesn't have any plans for when he's 45 or 50, because the odds are pretty good that he'll be dead from liver damage by then.

As Himself: Bruce McDonald portrays a fictionalized version of himself who doesn't step out from behind the camera very much, but still manages to interact with the plot.

Biting-the-Hand Humor: An In-Universe variant. At one point the band members start mocking Bruce McDonald, the guy who's currently filming them—claiming that all his prior movies are in the bargain bin.
