1950s New York City. A bad and bloody gang war is about to erupt on the dysfunctional streets of Brooklyn. The Deuces at war with the vicious Vipers. Scott Kalvert directs this tale of lust, drugs, mayhem and madness during one hot summer on the streets of New York.

マンハッタンのミッションスクールに通うジムたちは、バスケットボールに夢中な無垢な不良少年であったが、教師である神父にいじめられたのをきっかけにドラッグを始めてしまい、やがて退学、泥棒、ホームレス、果ては殺人と、彼らを破滅の道へと招いていく…。 ジム・キャロルの実体験にもとづく全米ベストセラー青春文学『マンハッタン少年日記』の映画化。レオナルド・ディカプリオが堕ちていく純粋な少年を迫真の演技で体現している。全体的に乾いたシンプルな演出が施されており、ウェットなセンチメンタルになることを巧みに避けているのが、逆に悲劇のリアリティを高めている。共演もマーク・ウォールバーグなど、後にブレイクした若手俳優が多数出演。(的田也寸志）

MTV was there, and this was huge, but eventually the MTV guys were like, “We gotta go, we gotta get this going, guys.”Axl’s like, “Fuck it. I’m not going on unless I have my bandanna!” Apparently, he couldn’t find it after tearing apart the little hovel they gave us backstage. Of course the rest of the band was avoiding any eye contact with Axl, preferring to wander off, out of earshot, to do their grumbling.Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore. “What’s wrong with you, Axl?” He shrugged me off and continued with his insane tirade. He had all of our roadies looking around for people who had scarves or bandannas. I said, “C’mon, Axl, let’s just go on.”He blurted out, “Fuck that. Fuck you. I need a bandanna or a scarf or I’m not doing this.” Axl finally found a fucking scarf, some powder-blue, girly-looking thing, and the show began.-Steven Adler in his autobiography, "My Appetite for Destruction"
