Darcy Parker, and sukebanboy- you're both aces in my book! :up:
Anyways, this definitely isn't as well known as it should be, and it's even been on cable quite a few times throughout the years! Another product of Australia- the television show, Danger 5, is still M.I.A. on the BD format too. Wish someone would get crack-a-lackin' on this like yesterday.

He was well known though for being in a sketch comedy show called Full Frontal playing Poida, a very familiar type of Aussie bogan. This film would be quite a diferent experience for non Aussie audiences at the time. Apart from the Banna transformation Chopper himself was a very well known thug/folk hero. When there was an issue of the day he'd generally be roped in by one of the networks to give his Man On The Streets thoughts on it. Some of the events in the film were already well known stories. I think Chopper himself might have pick Bana as the best man to play him. It's a dead on impersonation anyway.
