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:
“I’ll be right here.”
—Melissa Mathison, U.S. screenwriter, and Steven Spielberg. ET, ET The Extra-Terrestrial, saying goodbye to Elliot as he touches Elliot’s forehead—ET’s final words in the film (1982)
“Truth cannot be defined or tested by agreement with ‘the world’; for not only do truths differ for different worlds but the nature of agreement between a world apart from it is notoriously nebulous. Rather—speaking loosely and without trying to answer either Pilate’s question or Tarski’s—a version is to be taken to be true when it offends no unyielding beliefs and none of its own precepts.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
