"Chopper"

Fantastic film.

Australian movie based on the books by Mark "Chopper" Read - A former criminal/psycho that murdered over 19 people and was only ever tried for 1 - and got aqquited.

Eric Bana (soon to be in The Hulk) is fantastic. Awesome direction, check out when Chopper snorts cocaine, the film speeds but the mouths/dialogue runs at normal speed - you need to see it to understand...amazing movie.

And on the DVD, one of the commentaries is the real Chopper - scary and informative. Worth buying just to hear him berating Tarantino for not getting the ear-slashing correct (Chopper cut his own ears off to be moved from a prison wing)

Watch it

The DVD rules.
It has a commentary by the real Chopper, as well as interviews with him.
His commentary is classic, he's laughing and joking through it all saying "Of course, I shot 'im the leg, not the arm" and "Bana got me walk down pat mate, it's freaky. Of course, that night I'd shot the Portuguese bloke already but this is a movie"

Yeah great film. An Aussie mate of mine recommended it to me and after five minutes of viewing I was in rapture. The whole "how quick do you think you can get across the room" scene is a classic. I think the DVD is going cheap on Play.com at the mo.

Finally got around to seeing this, bought it for a fiver, and it really is very funny.

Chopper is such a funny bloke, for instance, when he's taking to the cops, and they're saying he can't do as he wants, that he's not above the law, and he just laughs, then salutes at them, grinning the whole time.

I can't see Bana as The Hulk now though, it's going to seem odd seeing that now.

LOL! at Ben Stiller.

LOL! at old guy on the right (of pic) with pink pants on.

:D

Q: What's the difference between a Scouser and a coconut?
A: One's thick and hairy, and the other's a coconut.

Guess which one.

Red tracksuit, with a tight scouse perm. And one hand in someone's car window. Just kidding.
