Chopper

steveland?

Just watched this for the first time last night...



bleeding hilarious.... bleeding being the operative word!


i loved it when every time he kills/maims someone he goes "Aw S*** man! Sorry are you alright??"

It's very funny - Eric "Hector" Bana is fantastic in it. And you've got it spot on with his "ah sorry mate, are you alright?" whenever he's beaten the crap out of someone. He's oddly charming for such an idiot

Evil_Bilbo

He is the scariest fcuker alive in this film. I like him and all, and he's funny, but Jesus he's terrifying.

Bit of a cult hero over in Oz. I saw him in a book store in Adelaide a while back, scary looking bloke with no ears, green socks & red shoes. It was funny, the ozzy blokes were queuing up to put their arm around him for photos- "alright Chopper mate, are ye havin a beer after?"

Chopper: Look, all I can tell you is what I've already told Mister Beasley: none of us saw anything. It was just one of those things: Bluey Barnes was reading a magazine; Ambrose Hatcheson was taking a piss; Johnny Price was washing his hands; Jimmy Loughnan was watching a bullant crawl across the table, and I was watching Jimmy watching the bullant.

Eric Bana is amazing in this film, espeically when you see interviews with the real Chopper. Bana must have done his research, and to think he was a stand up comedian when he made it.

Juggalo

The funniest bit is when he goes into the other blokes house and is sayin "Hello, hello it's uncle chop chop" to the kid. The voice is just hilarious.

I hope Eric Bana sticks with the acting , hes fast becoming one of my favourite actors.

Did anyone catch this on BBC last night? I taped it, watching it now. Struth... sub-human, or too thick to feel pain like normal people? :eek:

Talk about resurrecting the dead. I watched Chopper again lat nigh when I saw it was on, even though I own not one but two copies of it on DVD. It's a truly fantastic film and Eric Bana is a great actor. In fact I'm thinking I may go get the DVD and watch it again.

Pigman II

It's a rubbish film and the man himself is scum.

bnt

Hell, half the characters in the film are Scum - like that 8-months pregnant hag with the fag? Chopper's lower than shark s**t, right? It's black humour, mate? Crikey?

Saw it first time around about 8 years ago .Exposing himself to the two cops it the bar made me laugh , like talk about sticking two fingers up to the law funny yeah ,even hilarious but a disturbing sort of film to

The real Chopper Reid is a celeb in Oz. He goes around places, giving talks about his life! I would not like to be in a room with him! :eek: Even if there was 20 other people there.

Otis Driftwood

Love the movie,Bana is simply outstanding in it.Ive seen alot of interviews with Read down the years and have all his books and he is somewhat of a fantasist,all be it a very,very funny one.
As he says in the film,"I never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn"

I absolutely love this film. One of my favourites. Eric Bana is excellent as Chopper. Get your hands on the dvd to see the two of them meeting up and how well Bana takes him off in the film. Pure class!

Absolutley , probably the best i've seen any actor play a real life villian so realistically.

weemcd

you're average bloke doesnt have to worry about chopper reid!

Sanjuro

Have to also give props to Andrew Dominik for his outstanding direction. After this he went and made the best film of last year (considering There Will Be Blood was released here in 2008), The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford. Dominik's one of the top directors on my 'watch this space' list.

latenia

Just one of the funniest and most quotable scenes ever.

"Neville f**kin Bartos"
"Have a f**kin geez"

"Dominik's one of the top directors on my 'watch this space' list."

Yep. Big time. 2 absolute gems. Wonder what's next?

Great to see this movie gettting such attention after it being on sunday night, great movie great acting. Yeah the guy is scum of the highest order found fame off it which is worse nearly, but the movie is great.

Really both movies mentioned on this thread!

The Don

What an excellent film. Heard about it for years before I actually went and bought it, Glad I did. Bana does a great job a Chopper.

Love the bit when he's in court remembering how he killed Sammy the turk through poetry.

:eek:

Peyton Manning

Bana is amazing in it.

I just love it when he reminds Jimmy that he stabbed him.

"Remember when you stabbed the old Chop Chop?"

The DVD is excellent, no menu screens, just put it in and it auto-plays.

If you want the extras go to the menu yourself.

The "Year Two Thousand" extra is my favourite!

Jello

Great film all right, so many memorable scenes/quotes. Definitely Bana's best role! Will have to pick this up on DVD, saw it for €5 in HMV recently.

"Now look what you've gone and done"

It's bad but the scene, where that line is spoken, cracks me up everytime. The first time i saw the real chopper and Eric Bana interviewd together i was amazed it just rammed home how stunning Bana's portrayal of chopper is. It was also notable that Bana seemed a little bit uneasy sitting beside him.
