Chopper
 

I bought an Aussie DVD called 'Chopper' in HMV for 2.99. Is it any good, or should I not bother. I'm babysitting tonight.

Re: Chopper
 

It is a very good film but make sure the kiddies do not see it. The film is violent in parts but very gritty and an insight into a very disturbed mind.

Re: Chopper
 

Thanks. Is this guy famous down there?, he seems to have written a lot of books according to the DVD cover.

This is of imdb
7.1 is pretty good on imdb!

Re: Chopper
 

Chopper Reed is infamous. He caused some controversy by writing a childrens book called "Hooky the Cripple"

Re: Chopper
 

...and a little less controversy by killing a few people.

Great Film,
hes actually living in Tasmania now i think..
whatch the acutal interviews with the man himself in the specials bit..:)

....and there was me thinking that this post would be about the 70s' bike called a 'Chopper' :rolleyes:

Watched this again the other night. It stars Eric Bana(naman) of The Hulk fame as Mark Brandon 'Chopper' Read, a vicious and (in)famous thug who has written a number of books and appears (menacingly) on the occasional talk show. Famed amongst other things for hacking his ears off - shown quite graphically in the movie.

LOL!
I thought it was going to about Ron 'Chopper' Harris - but there you go!
:D

Re: Chopper
 

well worth a look but not half as weird as an aussie flick i watched last nite it was called (braindead)by a mile the wierdest thing i have ever seen:scared: :scared: :scared: :scared:

Finally got round to watching this last night. Great movie, very gritty & real, didn't show Melbourne in a positive way. Hulk boy played the part really well. Can't believe Read is a celebrity, maybe tells you something about the Aussie way of thinking.

Re: Chopper
 

is'nt that a NZ film?

i have seen it and it is by far the weirdest of that type u have ever seen, funny though.

:D

Re: Chopper
 

could well be a nz film not sure i wanted to turn it off but i just could`nt drag my self away captivating stuff:scared:

Re: Chopper
 

It is a kiwi film, directed by peter (lord of the rings) jackson.
couldn't watch it myself, made me feel sick.
