| The Runaways | comment |
The Runaways us a 2010 Coming of Age Story Biopic about the first all-female rock band The Runaways.In the middle of the 1970s, Joan Jett is sick and tired of the gender divide in rock music and decides to form an all-girl rock band. Record producer Kim Fowley sees potential and assembles a line-up of aspiring female rock musicians. The only thing that's missing is a singer...which all changes when Fowley spots 15-year-old Cherie Currie in a night club. The Runaways are formed and it's a tale of fame, fortune, drug abuse, cattiness and lesbianism.The film was primarily based on Cherie Currie's 1989 autobiography and so primarily focuses on the relationship between Cherie and Joan and events leading up to Cherie's departure from the band. It starred Dakota Fanning as Cherie and Kristen Stewart as Joan. | |

Historical Villain Downgrade | |
| The Runaways / int_18baa751 | comment |
Historical Villain Downgrade: Kim Fowley's Jerkass behaviour is actually him toned down. He would specifically drive to high schools in search of teenage girls to hit on, and band member Jackie Fox (who isn't depicted here) later accused him of drugging and raping her at a party (though this movie was released before she went public with her accusations). Kari Krome, a songwriter who discovered Joan Jett while working for him, confessed to being physically and sexually assaulted by him multiple times when she was only fourteen. | |

| The Runaways / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: Joan maintains that the scene of a music teacher trying to get her to play "On Top of Old Smokey", insisting girls didn't play electric instruments, is 100% accurate. Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart both signed the contract with their left hands in a scene, because Cherie Curie and Joan Jett are left-handed. Both Dakota and Kristen are right-handed. Dakota Fanning also borrowed a belt from Cherie to wear in the film. Joan Jett confirmed that Cherie wore it numerous times when touring with The Runaways. The scene where the boys throw objects at the girls rehearsing is 100% accurate. Joan Jett claims that Kim Fowley would often do those "heckler's drills" because she was too shy on stage. Lita Ford is shown wearing a Cheap Trick t-shirt at one point. The Runaways had opened for them in Japan. | |
