    • Trivia
      Eric Bana spent two days living with Mark Brandon Read so he could get a better understanding of how to play his character in the film.
    • Goofs
      At Tanya's house you see the car lights are on as Chopper goes to her front door. When he comes back and beats the car in frustration - they are off.
    • Quotes

      Chopper: Why would I shoot a bloke BANG, then drive him to the bloody car and wizz him off to the hospital at a hundred miles an hour? It defeats the purpose of having shot him in the first place.

    Say Goodnight To Uncle Chop
    This movie was not intended to be solely funny, but with Eric Bana in the lead it was always going to make you laugh. His denial of pain and causing injury while at times hard to watch is also hilarious. Chopper's laugh often steals the show, coming at what appear to be inappropriate times.

    It's a brilliant movie with great direction and performances. I'll go an 8 out of 10.
