Old Kiwi classics, Pork Pie etc

[fuknKIWI]

I'll bet a fair few here will be none the wiser about Pork Pie, Smash Palace, Sleeping Dogs, Utu, Solo & (?) "Skin Deep"
Does anyone know if these classics are available on DVD?
I wonder how they would stand the test of time?
I recently got some Dooks Of Hazard out of the video library & apart from Daisy's leg the General Lee & the driving I thought what a load of crap:facepalm:

[Latte]

I have pork pie on DVD, although it's not remastered , prob watch it once/twice a year.

Always thought Kiwi films of the era had a strange bleakness about them, vs the chintzy american films of the time. Prob why they were so good.

There is a Special Edition DVD of Goodbye Pork Pie, with new 5.1 sound. We watched it last weekend. I also have Sleeping Dogs, Bad Taste, Braindead, Meet the Feebles, The Frighteners & Heavenly Creatures. All made in NZ.

Oh yeah and Worlds Fastest Indian.

[scissorhands]

'Vigil' and 'Crush' are favourite's

Interesting, any pointers where to score one please?

Quiet Earth-Bruno Lawrence.
That Will Smith dude tried to do a movie similar. Needed zombie dogs etc to pull it off.

[Laava]

Footrot Flats!
Brilliant film with an awesome soundtrack and launched a couple or three great tracks as well!

[onearmedbandit]

Quiet Earth is a fantastic movie. Goodbye Pork Pie is still a great classic to watch too.

[scissorhands]

Sleeping Dogs
Shaker Run

Yeah but that was a remake of a remake, watch the Omega man for a better version and Quiet Earth was based a round a whole different idea


Sleeping Dogs
Shaker Run

Sleeping Dogs (Smiths Dream)
Goodbye Pork pie
Quiet Earth

Would be my top three

Smash Palace
Bridge to no where

would also be up there

[schrodingers cat]

Vincent Ward - the Navigator.

Not perfect but beautiful and funny and sad and a wonderful, wonderful fairy tale.

Also Smash Palace. If only for the old HQ mounted copper trying to chase the Ralt...

But not Battletruck, Never Battletruck.

The last line in Goodbye Pork Pie is a classic...sitting in a car on the train track with a gun noosed around the cops head and Bruno says...
''You're a fuckwit Ray''...

[MIXONE]

The early Peter Jackson movies are classics.

Got my copy off Trademe.

That was Smash Palace.

[Maha]

That was Smash Palace.

As soon as I saw the quote and what I had said, I knew what the reply was going to be...
Yes....Smash Palace, my brain had only been engaged for 3 minutes at that time.

[Banditbandit]

I recently got some Dooks Of Hazard out of the video library & apart from Daisy's leg the General Lee & the driving I thought what a load of crap:facepalm:

That's because, apart from Daisy's legs (and boobs) and the car it was crap ...

[Smifffy]

Yes....Smash Palace, my brain had only been engaged for 3 minutes at that time.

Blondini's last words in Pork pie were still pretty classic tho.

[neels]

Never say die.

Race for the Yankee Zephyr.

Perfect strangers.

[MSTRS]

That's because, apart from Daisy's legs (and boobs) and the car it was crap ...

All of them were...Pukemanu, A Team, MacGyver, CHiPs, etc :sick:

Came A Hot Friday good for a laugh

[Laava]

That's because, apart from Daisy's legs (and boobs) and the car it was crap ...

Still better than 'Mr Ed' dubbed into maori!

where did you get bad taste and braindead, I have meet the feebles but haven't seen the other two.

[wysper]

They also had a compound bow with exploding arrows. That has to be up there for cool factor.

Trademe is your friend.:cool:

Sorry, can't find Braindead. There's one there, but it's an American Film, not Peter Jackson's gory classic.

[pete376403]

Sleeping Dogs
Shaker Run

Shaker Run!!! I was in that movie (you have to know just when to pause the big car jump scene - I'm a blur in the crowd scene wearing a black jacket...)

[Berries]

I saw Bad Taste years before I had even heard of New Zealand. A classic. I thought Goodbye Pork Pie was shit but then I had to watch it as I made pork pies and wanted to know what was going on. Maybe you had to be here/there whenever it was made.

Have never posted a Youtube link so hope this works.

Ha ha, it does. Grab a beer and check out some weird Japanese shit.

[spacemonkey]

Another good Kiwi movie to get is "In my Fathers Den" :yes:

[ellipsis]

[MiniFlick]

[Indiana_Jones]

Ha ha, photo lab I worked in back then did all the processing of still shots for battletruck....was sort of a bad imitation of Mad Max

[jim.cox]

Battle Truck was great

"Inventory and requisition"...
