Interesting. I wonder how it compares with Romper Stomper, Russell Crowe's 1992 breakthrough movie set in Melbourne. In fact, when I went to the linked interview I thought the picture of the tattooed thug was Crowe.
He plays the leader of a skinhead gang trying to keep the encroaching Vietnamese immigrants out, and it's a vicious, gritty movie often compared with American History X.
Melbourne looks to have been a rough place in those days.
