What are some films with explicit shots of people shooting up? Almost like a visual how-to guide or something? I'm thinking along the lines of Pulp Fiction, but I'm sure there are many other notable scenes in other films.

That thread didn't have neccesarily realistic movies.
Anyways, Bullet has a few decent scenes. It's not going to be like a step by step guide, but has a few injecting scenes and a lot of the dialog and the way the people act is very accurate. Plus it's got Mickey Rourke and Tupac Shakur. Doesn't get more hardcore than that!

I am going to propose that the word "requium" is banned, because I am SICK of people thinking thats the defintive movie when it comes to heroin use...
If you're looking for a step-by-step guide, you're not likely to find it at your local Blockbuster.. but if you want a good scene of a syringe being loaded and a user fixing, go grab a copy of Drugstore Cowboy - early on in the movie there is a scene where they cook up an injectable tablet (basically a pill, but you can use the same method for cooking any powder... it shows how to properly cook, drop in yer cotton, filter, and my favorite part that has ALWAYS given me the itch - the crimson expolsion in the syringe as he pulls the plunger back ..

If people really do think that Requium is a representitive movie of anything, then they are dickwads. It will however put you off injecting anything for a while, that guys arm is something that i hope would not ever happen to anybody.
Talking about injecting movies and i really wish i coud come up with a source but i cant remember where i saw it. One of the European countries was planning on releasing an 'educational' video on safe practices of shooting, ie how to dispose, what to do if you get an infection etc. I did hear this along time ago and im not sure what happened to it, good idea though.

A good idea? Yes, but it wouldn't fly in America as it would be seen as encouraging IV drug use...
Perhaps we should make our own such video? Does anyone have a digital video camera?

Staring PhreeX as the man with the fix, showing all you IV virgins how to get the BIGGEST bang for your buck without losing a limb and on the way showing every candy raver where they can stick ther F*****g candy bracelet. The movie of the summer, and the only one to show how ravers shrivvel up like snails with salt on them when you tell them you bang your drugs, "Banging 101" the feel good movie of the summer.

Actually this is sounding more and more like a really good idea... if I can get a camera... hell, we could even cover all kinds of imformative shit - chemistry such as how to prapare Salvia for injection.. all kinds of shit..
And WEIRD PR0N! Definitly... like we have a girl (I know the PERFECT GIRL) who can be rolling her face off and masturbating... then she cums, but the cum is liquid metal which consumes her whole body and she turns into this giantic metal spider who pins a bunch of nekid candy raver girls against the wall... them a guy somes in, turns into a metal snake and starts to fuck all the dead raver girls pined to the way by the metal spider... something like that...

Finding footage of people shooting dope is shouldn't be too hard, but not at retail outlets or in Hollywood. For more footage than you will ever need, Check out any college film programs stock footage and archives of student films, especially from around 1995-1998...
The world was a different place back then. Kurt Cobain had made heroin cool to every teenager in America and then killed himself so they would get depressed enough to actually go out and try it. "Heroin Chic" was all the rage, though heroin itself technically wasn't. A little film called "Trainspotting" was showing the world the irresistable appeal of stupid Euro trash accents, and banging heroin. And Rich suburban white kids overdosing became the biggest craze since breakdancing...
[Editor's Note: Shout out to all my niggaz in Plano who never made it, muthafuckas be readin this shit from heaven right now fo sho'. We wuz crazy off tha hook back then for realz, shit was tight. Special props to my nigga Snoopy for bein on muthafuckin' MTV when they wuz down here doin their "special report" shit on all us niggaz dyin' all the time. Plano be representin in heaven and shit fo sho' now, us niggaz down here still be pourin 40's for yall dead muthfuckaz, rest in peace on da realz yo.]
Anyways, sure enough, every freshman film class in America was filled with jaded post grunge high school grads away from home for the first time, so everyone channeled all thier angst and apathy into thier "art", and there was almost always an obligatory junkie scene, even though most of them had never even seen heroin in real life before...
In regards to filming a detalied "how to guide" for IV injection...
This isn't really practical for a number of reasons...
The basics of IV admin CAN be essentially be related to someone through a FAQ or film, definitons (unit, CC, gauge), the simple mechanics of the whole procedure (i.e. equipment needed, how to use a syringe etc etc), and of course these motions are in every typical shooting scene, they are not a problem...
The critical parts to correct IV administration are ones that cannot be reasonably translated or taught through FAQ's or educational films alone they are eventually and almost universally learned via personal hands-on experience and practice...
99% of the difficulties people have with learning proper IV admin revolve around two basic things:
1. Doseage issues
2. Detailed specifics in reagrds to the vein.
Both of these couldn't be taught for obvious reasons, they are much to relative to the individual situation and thus accurate broad educational statements regarding their specifics could not be given.
Learning how to "find" a vein if it's not readily apparent (this is an art in itself), at what angle to hit it, how to prevent piercing through it or missing it altogether, how to draw and confirm a solid hit, and the technique for mainting all the above specifics while pushing the plunger in so as not to miss...
You can't really learn that from a book or film. It's like learning to ride a bike or swim, it's real simple shit, but you can't really do anything but tell people the basics, and they kind of have to feel thier way into it with trial and error and eventually truly learn it...
So essentially, you can outline the basics like so many films have done, but you can't do much for relating the critical IV injection dynamics adequatley on film, couldn't hurt to try though...

PS- For the record I have never included a traditional junkie shooting scene in any of the short films I did, cause you know, I am way to cool for that. I didn't really know anyone in Plano into the smack scene back then except a few casual acquaintences, and one kid I met at a party once who was actually one of the fatal overdoses, oh, and Snoopy. My friend Snoopy really was on MTV when they did thier Plano/Heroin special, he is shown for like 30 seconds sitting and fixing a rig against some graffiti ridden wall, but of course MTV made him do all that. In reality most of the kids who fatally OD'd back then died from SNORTING heroin, needles where generally looked down upon, which I suppose is good, if they had been IV'ing, the death toll would have been much much higher. Oh, and Breakdancing will never die.

yes Phreex, a cunning plan, all we need now is an awsome soundtrack to our
Wierd porn/Educational IV guide and it would be the best film ever, something hardcore, mabey a little Delta 9 to compliment the strange metal spider (Where the Fuck dod you come up with that??). I rekkon that we need some wild animals in ther aswell, mabey some tigers or something, they could come in and kill the wierd snake and spider, then start Banging some Coke, mabey some meth, then they take over raping the dead Kandy raver chicks bodies, i know i would watch it.

Hahaha.. HTK, that'd be perfect. As soon as the blood clouds the syringe you hear "HARDCORE CHICAGO YOU PUSSY MOTHERFUCKER!"
Actually, there was this other old hardcore producer on Industrial Strength called Temper Tantrum that has a song with a repetative sample going "Inject the cocaine, pump it in my vein!".
Anyways, I disagree that a video wouldn't be useful. Shooting up is definantly not something you can learn from a book, and yes, it's probably better to have someone shoot you up your first couple times, but I think being able to see while a narrator explains everything would still be far better than nothing. I mean it's not like someone isn't going to fuck up their first few times anyways. You learn how to get the veins and not pierce through and things like that primarily through first hand experience, trial and error. If you had a video of it, you could watch it a few times, pause when needed, and kind of follow along. That'd DEFINANTLY be better than nothing.

Go soviet!! The Name of the song was
Cocaine (jacked outta my mind), and i think the sample was, I get the cocain and pop it in my vein, Then i break your Fuck'n head. It was a classic along with the whole Industrial strenght album. Do you remember the song Cocksucker by nasen blu, another timeless classic.
As for the film i think PhreeX and i got a little sidetracked (der HTK) But i really do think it is a good idea, even governments couldnt resnobly argue against it if it was advocating safe injecting practices and disposal of syringes, only problem would be distribution, who would buy it??
