Anyone ever seen this? There is a 10 minute truncated version on Youtube, but no QS.
Yes, it is a relatively well known and documented scene. Dave had it on his original cliptapes and I'm pretty sure it was on "Quicksandmovies.net" years ago. The scene does involve a catfight where one girl gets her top ripped off. She runs away to avoid a beating and the shot cuts quickly to her being waist deep in a sandy area. The others gather around and watch as she casually tells them she'll see them in hell. One of the crowd of biker/stoner/acid eaters around her mentions "Wow! I never really saw quicksand before." The next shot jumps to her extended arm giving the finger to the spectators. They reverently mark the spot with a thoughtful verse on a sign that reads "Here lies a girl with useless thighs and mud in her eyes" or something like that. All of this is done in that "silly sixties movie" kind of atmosphere that you won't really get unless you were there for some of it. I have the entire movie on VHS and found it interesting for several reasons beyond the relatively brief and lame scene.
