A New Zealand film pioneer scored a hit with this little gem. Prepare for one and a half hours of fun on a shoestring budget as two inventive rogues on a slightly destructive road trip though beautiful New Zealand (though no Maoris and only a few sheep). This is the ultimate folk hero / 'mini cars are freedom on wheels' movie.
Great views of a country full of rivers, woods, mountains and a nostalgic eighties feel. (compared to the more aggressive recent remake). Great natural acting, great psychedelic scenes in a redecorated (with stuff stolen form elsewhere in the train) box car. There is even a love interest: sexy Claire Oberman, carelessly losing her virginity on the way. One of the movies that started the remarkable New ealand wave, resulting in mega productions as Avatar and The piano. Don't expext all sugar and spice though. New Zealand film is known for its dark undertones.
