12 Times The Motley Crue Movie Lied To You

One of the events Vince Neil might have liked The Dirt to gloss over is the infamous death of Razzle, the Hanoi Rocks drummer who perished when Neil drunkenly crashed his car during a booze run on December 8, 1984. To its credit, the movie doesn't shy away from Razzle's tragic fate, but it still can't resist making the whole incident seem a little less damning than it actually was. While The Dirt does show Neil with a beer bottle in hand before hopping behind the wheel, he can hold a coherent enough conversation to pass for sober, and the whole accident is made out to be a momentary lapse of attention due to some delightful banter with the Hanoi Rocks man.

According to Louder, the real incident was a significantly harsher look for Neil. Instead of the mild beer buzz depicted in the movie, Neil was "heavily intoxicated" when he hopped behind the wheel, and instead of drifting into the wrong lane while deep in discussion with his passenger, the Crue singer was swerving around a stationary firetruck and hit a wet spot while driving 65 mph in a 25 mph zone. He hit two incoming cars before coming to a halt. To top it off, the driver of the first car was in a coma for a month, and her passenger suffered brain damage.
