No, they were paid to create the soundtrack. Both Ray and Dave regretted it because the movie was so horrid but the music was tremendous. My favorite all-time song is from that movie. Won't reveal the name of the song now because then it would be easy to find the title in a search.
Have to understand why they did it. It was 1970, they had been banned from performing in the US and the audiences in the UK were starting to find newer bands, and the KINKS were very self destructive, so they needed the money and the producers claimed the movie would be big (which it bombed).
I think Ray still owns a percentage of the movie. I would kill to see it.
