I actually have this on an old Swedish VHS. Decent crime thriller, but a bit slow paced and quite aged as I recall.
Also, hand't it been subtiteled I would have not understood a fuggen word they said."No presh from the Dresh!"Comment

I was going to have a go at you guys for your comments here, then I thought, have a watch of the trailer first Dom. Yeah, nah, fair call, those are some fair dinkum, thick as dog shit 'strayan accents right there."Never let the fact that they are doing it wrong stop you from doing it right." Hyman Mandell.Comment

Ha, fair enough. We had an Australian exchange student living with us when I was a teenager and I had no trouble with her accent at all. Some of the accents in the movies though, they seem way thicker. Those ones can be a bit trickier for me.Originally posted by Dom D View Post
And to be fair, there are quite a few American and Canadian accents that are even more impenetrable if you're not used to them!Rock! Shock! Pop!Comment

Yeah there's a couple of things going on there. For whatever reason the Australian accent is getting muted over time. If you listen to broadcasts from the 50s it's super nasal-ly and there's still a good deal of that in the 70s. The other thing is that we don't really make films about the middle class, city dwelling people who make up 99% of the population. Those are not Australian Stories. It's kind of like if the English only made films about Cockneys you'd have an odd view of the accent.Originally posted by Ian Jane View Post"Never let the fact that they are doing it wrong stop you from doing it right."

I submit though that the Scots have the hardest accent to understand:

That makes sense. The same thing applies to NYC. The accents is/are fading and a lot of movies tend to exaggerate it a fair bit.Originally posted by Dom D View PostRock! Shock! Pop!Comment
