    • Goofs
      When the Department of Employment supervisor stamps the benefit form 'SUSPENDED" and hands it back to Steve, although it is briefly shown upside down, the name at the top-right of the form is not Steve's but his friend Theo's (most noticeable in the remastered widescreen version).

    Funny and enjoyable Aussie film...
    The Wog Boy was a very funny movie, especially if you know any Greek people. It was great to see lots of home grown faces, and glad to see it do so well at the (Aust) box office. I always find light-hearted and funny Australian movies 100 times better than some of the dark and depressing stuff that is produced.

    I couldn't stop laughing at the half Serbian/half Croatian - hilarious!!!
