tubley This movie caught my attention at the video store. The cover, and the summary on the back, made it look like a brutal, real life portrayal of gang life in Australia. So I thought it would be worth having a look.So my wife and I began to watch it, and over the first few minutes, we just knew that something was wrong.I have never quite understood what it is about such terrible movies that compels a person to continue watching them all the way through. One theory is that we possess a kind of dark, irresistible curiosity. When we see a real life crime scene, with ambulances and police cars all over the place, we know we shouldn't look. It's being taken care of by the authorities, and it's none of our business. Plus it's inappropriate to gawk at something horrible like that simply because we want to satisfy our own curiosity. So we try to look away, but for some reason there is something inside of us, urging us to look.Another theory is that some movies are so poor in quality that they actually become entertaining for that very reason, and so to that end, they seem worth watching.Listening to the inane "wisdom" of the Greek gang members trying to demean the Irish gangs (I didn't even know Irish gangs existed in Australia) with lines like, "The Irish never train, they just drink and drink and drink..." made me wonder if the script had been written by a twelve year old.Seeing the huge Maori leader in tight rugby shorts was hilarious! Seeing the Greeks with Maori tattoos fighting a dread-locked Maori with no Maori tattoos was an indication of the kind of idiotic culture that we were expected to take seriously.Seeing the said Greeks win street fights against said Maoris (with just a few punches) was ridiculous. There is no way that would ever happen. Maoris don't go down that easily, if at all. More laughable moments. But even the unintended humour wore thin after a while, especially during that horrific rape scene that left us feeling physically sick. Directors need to be careful about how they present violence. Quentin Tarantino does it in a masterful way that serves the movie, but he is a gifted writer-director who can get away with it in a way that few others can. I can't help but feel that Aussie Park Boyz was a try-hard attempt at recreating the kind of theme to which Reservoir Dogs belongs, as so many directors have tried to do, and failed.Aussie Park Boyz was absolutely pathetic. At one stage I wondered if it was a result of some rich spoilt brat from inner city Sydney trying to express himself by spending all of his money on self-producing this amateurish monstrosity that no established producer would look twice at. This is of course, only a theory which attempts to explain why a movie of such poor quality should even end up on a shelf at a video store.This movie was an embarrassment to Australian film, an embarrassment to Independent film, and an embarrassment to the actors involved. I urge you not to watch it under any circumstances.

sunny_munch Everything about this movie is awful.You can tell in the first five minutes that this movie is going to be terrible. You can't however, gauge how bad it's going to be.We start the movie with a seemingly endless intro scene aided with gay music and no dialogue. Having the camera move up and down big guys who are trying too hard to look like mentals doesn't provoke the slightest emotion.What then starts seems to be one of two separate stories. The first half of the movie consists of the wogs going around competing in paid, midnight fights with other ethnic groups. The wogs always win of course, because they apparently lift weights and have "respect". It is in these scenes that we first get to see the degree of bad acting, editing, scripting and hatred for the people who funded this film.Eventually the main character and his mate get sent to prison. The entire prison part of the movie is unrelated to what I assume is the plot, and consists of a bunch of fights.Once out of prison(3 years for murder?) The main character and his mate reunite with the wogs. They then go to the "other side of town" and try to lay low, because apparently everyone wants to kill them.soon the wogs get set up for the rape of another gang members girl , and run around town fighting off hordes of different gangs. This point of the movie can be compared to an arcade game, as the wogs simply run around and fight off enemies who seemingly get worse and worse as the movie goes on.Anyway the movie ends with some massive climatic fight scene in which the remaining wogs (the two main characters) take on every gang they've fought so far. Apparently the other gangs don't have a problem uniting to take on the remaining wogs(the skinheads don't mind Asians). After about a million more people get beaten up by the invincible wog brothers the movie ends with the main characters heading home. They don't make it home however, because they are burned to death by the the thousands of angry film critics who storm the set and leave angry letters everywhere.This movie may be more like a computer game then a movie, because that would explain how two guys can take about a million punches to the face from a million different people who the majority of the time are twice their size.There are also tonnes more stupid unexplainable events in this movie, such as an Asian fighting off his own gang and taking a katana to the head just to let the wogs get away.Like someone else mentioned, this movie isn't so bad its funny, it's just so bad.

Gerard Aguilar OK, Yes at first this movie seemed to move along really slow and mellow dramatic. You have to get past the first 20 minutes and then this movie takes you for a ride. If you are into action-fighting movies and you can appreciate the art of a movie no matter what the budget constraints were or are, Then give this movie a chance. This movie has nothing but skillful fighters/actors. I am watching it again tonight. Nunzio La Bianca, the guy who plays Cam is one of the best fighters I have seen in a long while. He is a guy with a big hart and know his physical limits. This movie is like a fighting instruction video. This is one of those movies that it's best advertisement is word-of-mouth.

PanTheMan the reason why i gave this movie a 4 was for a couple reasons, but this movie was not that bad. first off, the editing i found too be pretty poor at times, the script(or what they had of one) was not very good, and if not for Nunzio La Bianca, the acting would have been crap. but all that aside(ha ha i know its like the whole movie) its not that bad for an extremely low ind. , low budget film. If they would have gotten more money, a little better actors(but these ones were intimidating so it was good) and a little more detailed script this movie would be terrific. Somebody has to tell me this guy was influenced A lot by the warriors by Walter hill. i mean this movie is exactly like it. anyone who has seen both those films will agree with me.
