    Old Kiwi classics, Pork Pie etc

    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

    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.

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

    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

    Would be my top three

    Smash Palace
    Bridge to no where

    would also be up there

    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...

    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...

    The early Peter Jackson movies are classics.
