The phrase "it's all gone Pete Tong" is Cockney rhyming slang that plays off the name of superstar DJ Pete Tong. It means "it's all gone wrong."
IT'S ALL GONE PETE TONG is a powerful biopic based on the life of legendary DJ Frankie Wilde.
Frankie was one of Europe's most talented and envied DJs and a main attraction for hedonistic youth each holiday season in Ibiza, Spain. Everything about Frankie's life was over the top: the clubs, the parties, the women and the drugs. But the years of pounding music and heavy toxins took their toll, eventually leaving Frankie stone deaf. His fans, record deal, manager, wife and stepson soon disappeared. The good times gone, Frankie isolated himself in his villa for a year under a pile of self-pity and a mountain of drugs.
Determined to pull himself together, Frankie hired a lip-reading instructor, accepting a new way of life and rediscovering the dance rhythms that had defined him. His ultimate redemption returned him to the top of the scene with a renewed connection to the almighty beat. And then ... he disappeared.

why call it that when it's not even about, nor based on, pete tong?
funny thing happened to me it was summer 2003 i was walking around me and my friends in ibiza town minding our own business trying to find tickets to buy for the night, suddenly this freaky looking guy shows up trying to put his hat on my head, so i push him off and he keeps on insisting on it , mind you i wasn't in the right state of mind to begin with having a few drinks in my system , so i look around and i see all these people with cameras and lights, i confirm and let him put the hat on so he can leave, i look back at my friends and they r on the floor laughing. i was like wth just happened, i run after the crew and ask them whats going on, this girl tells us they r shooting a movie called "its all gone pete tong" from the same makers of human traffic . it will be funny if my drunkass is in the movie.
