Film Version
The imagery features a cartoon segment with some teenagers (the same ones from "In the Flesh?") running over a rag doll replica of Pink. He then shouts through a megaphone while his followers march through the street. Following the images of the fascist crowd, the screaming face and a fascist breaking a man's skull from "What Shall We Do Now?", a dog biting meat off a hook then consumed by a larger one (from the Animals tour), and the famous goose-stepping hammer sequence, we see Pink yell "Stop".
As with "Run Like Hell," the film version of the song was considerably altered from the album version. Following the opening harmonies, it goes right into Pink's shouted instructions, but it omits the following:
--the line about "turning on the showers and firing the ovens" --the line about "the coons and the Reds and the Jews"
Additionally, all of David Gilmour's vocals except for his line "Would you like to see Britannia rule again" have been edited out, while Pink's shouted instructions at the end of the song are extended over the "Marching Hammers" montage.

Famous quotes containing the words film and/or version:
“Film is more than the twentieth-century art. It’s another part of the twentieth-century mind. It’s the world seen from inside. We’ve come to a certain point in the history of film. If a thing can be filmed, the film is implied in the thing itself. This is where we are. The twentieth century is on film.... You have to ask yourself if there’s anything about us more important than the fact that we’re constantly on film, constantly watching ourselves.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“Exercise is the yuppie version of bulimia.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
