Curiosidades
Sting and his band The Police were little known when the film was shot, but had broken out by the time it was released.

The shadow of the helicopter that filmed the final scenes on the white cliffs at Beachy Head is visible. Most people call these the white cliffs of Dover, but they aren't. The cliffs at Beachy Head are higher than the white cliffs of Dover.

Citações
Kev: I don't give a monkey's arsehole about Mods and Rockers. Underneath, we're all the same, 'n't we?
Jimmy: No, Kev, that's it. Look, I don't wanna be the same as everybody else. That's why I'm a Mod, see? I mean, you gotta be somebody, ain't ya, or you might as well jump in the sea and drown.
Kev: That's why I joined the army. To be different. To get away from all this. Don't matter where you go, there's always some cunt with stars and stripes who wants to push you about.

There are at least 4 scenes that have been deleted from the final film. These scenes have never been released anywhere in full, apart from on a short documentary that came with the 1997 UK video, but even then they are shown as photographs and not the actual full scenes. Most notable was the entire deletion of almost all of the dialogue from Ace Face (played by Sting), including 2 extended scenes from the police van and one of all the mods meeting up on their scooters before going to Brighton. Supposedly, the reason that all of Ace Face's dialogue was deleted was that Sting and the producers both agreed that this ruined his 'mysterious' character that he was playing and also may have taken the focus of the protagonist of the story, Jimmy.

Powerful film about young people and a subculture.

Quadrophenia is about British Mods from the 1965 era and the struggles of young adults, which could be from any era. Mods were a subculture of youths that wore tailored suits, road scooters and popped pills. They liked bands like The Who, The Kinks and The Yardbirds. Mods also listened to some 1960s ska music, soul and R&B. If you like this sort of music, the movie has a good soundtrack attached to it.

The main character in the film is Jimmy (Phil Daniels) he doesn't have a long term plan for his life or the future, his life is all about next weekend. Jimmy is a Mod and frustrated with his boring life, working as an office boy and living at home with his parents. The only time he feels alive is with his Mod friends, who aimlessly drink, fight and party their weekends away. The Mods enemies are the Rockers who they physically clash with at times.

The highlight of the Mods calendar is a big dance coming up at Brighton. Jimmy and his Mod friends go to a big dance at Brighton with much anticipation. Its the absolute high point of Jimmy's life. He see's the top Mod (Sting) at the dance, who seems to be everything a Mod should aspire to be. However things aren't what they seem, and Jimmy learns the top Mod is just another young man with his struggles. Jimmy finds a fleeting love but the outcome is far from what he desires.

With his boring life and let downs, Jimmy becomes even more frustrated and reckless. Its a sad film to see how young people can get so caught up in the moment and let little things burn them up, that would mean nothing in 5 years time. Phil Daniels is really good as Jimmy, the support cast and settings are good as well.
