About this movie

Based on the life of Notorious underworld hitman Mark "Chopper" Read Chopper, the internationally acclaimed, award winning feature has been perfectly captured on DVD with an arsenal of extra features and never-before-seen footage such as the star and director meeting the REAL chopper while researching the film. PLUS: fascinating deleted scenes and alternative takes, the theatrical trailer and audio commentaries from both director Andrew Dominik and Mark Brandon 'Chopper' read himself. Standover man, repentant underworld executioner and inventive raconteur, Mark Brandon 'Chopper' Read is Australia''s most infamous ex-criminal. He is also one of the country's most popular authors. Inspired by the books by 'Chopper' Read, and informed by study of police records, court transcripts, news coverage and interviews with police and prison workers, CHOPPER is an original screenplay by Andrew Dominik. CHOPPER is not a bio-pic, but a multi-sided examination of the pathology of a complex and violent man. A man who becomes a cult figure thanks to a colourful imagination and a wicked, old-world sense of humour. 2000 Australian Film Finance Corporation Limited, Mushroom Pictures Pty Ltd, Pariah Films

Sitting at the google play screen ready to buy this movie. There is no way to buy this movie. No option to buy the movie. Looking at some other Aussie movies. Looks like my option to buy is solidly unavailable. All configurations ensure 100% unavailability of any movies to buy. We want to ensure we cannot buy a movie. Can't even post a review of zero without posting this comment. One more time - trying to buy the movie - cannot

A great Aussie movie! If anyone who isn't Australian can get past the Aussie slang, its a great insight into the past Australian crime scene. Classic calls throughout the movie, funny but serious at the same time. Can watch this over and over!
