Talking "Chopper" Read Boardgame Launched

Labelled an underworld version of Monopoly...

...Using bullets for pieces, the game starts at the dole office, and players visit brothels, standover notorious criminals, get busted by police, go to court, go to jail, before finally making their way to Tasmania.

I watched his movie again the other night. Top class. It's the best Aussie movie ever.

Best line from the movie:
'I'm just a normal bloke. Who like a bit of torture.'

It's not that great. If you want scary you can't beat The Ring (or the Japanese original Ringu)

Brilliant. Putting a criminal up on a pedestal.

Aussies should see this guy for what he is: a psychopathic thug.

Eric Bana is awesome as Chopper. Everything else he's done (seen The Hulk?) pales against his role as Chopper.

Yeah, I thought of him as well.

At least with time passing "romance" has slipped into the Ned Kelly story, but this Chopper dude is still fresh in people's memories.
