Trivia

The film is "dedicated to the memory of Reg Evans and all those who lost their lives in the Victorian Bushfires on Black Saturday 2009". This is a reference to the tragic events of Saturday 7th February 2009, in which an estimated 173 people died and 414 were injured during Australia's all-time worst bushfire disasters. Amongst those who sadly perished were the actor (who played Mac in the film) and his partner, Angela Brunton. See more »

Goofs

The pilot of the aeroplane says he will show them a stall, and pushes the throttle forwards, and then pulls it back to come out of the stall. That is the wrong way. In every aeroplane the pilot pulls the throttle back to reduce power and go into a stall, and pushes it forward to increase power and come out of it. See more »

Charlie and Boots
14 January 2010 | by hjh_52See all my reviews

Found this an excellent film very moving in the first 15 mins with excellent acting, so much so it took me a while to recognise Paul Hogan, however it quickly changes into a laugh a minute with charming performances from all the characters, spot the Aussie soap face was well played here and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, I watched it coming home from a magical Oz holiday and it was fun to see many of the sights we had experienced in this road trip film. I was told off by my hubby for laughing to loud whilst watching this with headphones on and soon it was me telling him off when he joined me in watching it!! Fantastic film and great all round entertainment, watch out for the tow car cop scene it's a beauty.
