The Movie Journey

As an Englishman I can say that Chopper had a fair cult following in the UK once it got a DVD release at the beginning of the 2000s. I've seen it several times and now will dig out my copy and give it a re-watch. Brits born in the late 1970s or Early 80s were brought up on what was then an exotic diet of Sons and Daughters, Neighbours and later Home and Away. As soon as these individuals were old enough to drink, there was a good chance they would be served by an antipodean working behind the bar. This may explain why Australian movies generally found a loyal, if not massive following. Chopper himself is very reminiscent to us of our more notorious criminals especially Bronsan and as such is surprisingly believable as a character. This was definitely the UK's first exposure to Bana and certainly put him on the radar for serious film fans. great work chaps!

Luke Human

Great review gents. Really is a easy watch and ridiculously quotable. Here no cash!!! Melbourne bitter really isn’t that bad!

Nathan

Come on, get one up ya, ya parrot.. fucking blowfly

Hayden Gerloff

I've never had Melbourne bitter

The Movie Journey

Chopper is a great watch. Seen it countless times and never gets old. Hilarious film. I dont mind Melbourne, i'd drink it over VB. Fincher will be great. Dont think ive seen Panic Room since it came out and always forget he did The Social Network.

Hayden Gerloff

Maybe I'm a snob when it comes to my beer, it's not bad on a really hot summers day but you could probably say that about any beer 😂

Chris Beardsell

Yeah I remember enjoying it when he first started and I was surprised he was still doing it when I saw a poster for him performing in my town last year.

Chris Beardsell

Heath Franklin, honestly I thought he was hilarious a decade ago... kind of gets repetitive after a bit though. I remember a chopper doing the weather report which was a pisser haha

The Movie Journey

Its really not that bad for a cheaper beer

The Movie Journey

Looking forward to climbing into some Fincher, Alien 3 is shit but Fincher can't be blamed for that, the studio fucked him on that one.

Chris Beardsell

What are your thoughts on your local comedian who's gimmick is just being Chopper?

Chris Beardsell

Hearing you two get super aussie on this one was hilarious to me, I lived in Melbourne for a couple of years about a decade ago and I was getting some serious flashbacks, also VB is a fucking trash beer

Chris Beardsell

Chopper is rated R-18 here in New Zealand

Chris Beardsell

Fincher will be awesome

Shane Jeffery

Wasn't clear

Shane Jeffery

12:01 we mention it

The Movie Journey

Chopper was pretty famous before the movie. His books were bestsellers.

Shane Jeffery

Mmmm You don't mention the scene ;)

Shane Jeffery

Yeah but at the time of recording we hadn't seen that yet. We do mention it when that happens

The Movie Journey

Melbourne Bitter lol

Shane Jeffery

There's a full on scene where the detectives tell Chopper Keith "died this morning"

Shane Jeffery

Special Features seemed amazing compared to VHS

Shane Jeffery

When you paid 30 bucks for a DVD, you wanted to get your money's worth ;)

Shane Jeffery

I was going to say what about Romper Stomper, but it grossed 175k

Shane Jeffery

I remember Poyter
