By lunchtime, I knew it wasn’t going to be Eric. And I went down to Melbourne and spent a day with him. Greg Apps (casting): They did have a sales agent pull out because the sales agent said, “no, no, we need a hugely experienced actor.”ĭominik: His first audition was the sort of D-Generation version of the character. And we started tracking them down, and they started telling us stories about who the guy really was, as opposed to the sort of myth of Chopper Read. But then we got his arrest docket, which I think is in the back of one of the books, and it listed all the cops who’d arrested him. We did a lot of those, and commercials, before we did the film.ĭominik: It was sort of based on his books, originally.

Why perpetuate the myth of Mark “Chopper” Read, career criminal and self-confessed killer, who was still in jail when he hit the bestseller list in the 1990s with a string of factually questionable memoirs?īut the final product – with a mesmerising lead performance by Eric Bana, previously best-known as a TV comic – was unlike anything that might have been expected. Even then I would recommend you to watch something better.Few Australian films have sparked as much controversy as Chopper, beginning well before it arrived in cinemas in 2000.
Don't watch this one if your not a hack'n'slash freak. Only time I laughed was when Dr Chopper said: "Howdy!" when trying to be scary.
The plot is pretty faulty and dialog rather sad. The same goes for the special effects who are pretty pathetic with every slash filmed in an angle so you cant see it but there are a lot of body parts in the movie all drenched in blood(probably to cover up how sad they really look ).

Every chance of showing skin is taken but without actually showing anything at all. Acting varies from really bad to mediocre with the girls tripping and falling all the time for no apparent reason. Well, if you wanna waste some time this is the right choice. When a bunch of teenagers decide to go camping they are bound to clash with the doctor. Turns out Dr Chopper needs body parts to stay alive and has been taking them from strangers, like pair of lesbians and 5 sorority girls on their initiation(you get the picture) traveling through Lake Tanoka. Since then people have been disappearing around Lake Tanoka(or something) and dead bodies/parts of bodies has been found all over the place. 20 years ago Dr Chopper(yes, he is driving a chopper as well as chopping people up) disappeared when the police found dead bodies at his clinic.
