The best parody that Bana did of Chopper is the "weather report" one ...

I love the bit about Alice Springs

SJKebab: To those of you who don't know, Eric Bana made his break in the movies by portraying Chopper in the eponymous film. Awesome movie I can't recommend highly enough.

Strangely though, Bana's portrayal of Chopper has itself been parodied (nsfw language).

Funny character.

I'd like to see a fight between Chopper and Michael "Bronson" Peterson.

The ... Toe ... Chopper?

Praise his janitorial light.

Loves me some Eric.

That's not Eric Bana, for f*ck's sake. That's a parody of Eric Bana's characterisation of Chopper Reid.

The problem with chopper is that he was always a top bloke, it's just he was a tad... unpredictable.

Unpredictable people are just that. One moment your laughing with them over a beer and the next your getting your face sewn back on after a glassing.

So, yeah. Go be a top bloke someplace else. Please...

On second thoughts you can stay here and I'll go.

WarszawaScream: Am I the only one who thinks that this guy applied for the starter pistol position just for the lulz? It's the kinda shiat I would do if I had a rep like that.

He's written a children's book called Hooky the Cripple so I'm guessing it's for the lulz

Why is this piece of shiat allowed to walk the streets? Way to go Autralia. 'Oh well- if you won't let me glorify my violent past in front of children I'll just pull my kid out of little league. Nya nya nya!' Stay classy.

Hot, hot, hot

Poida!

if none of his crimes were against kids..why should it mater?

Love Chopper. The man, the myth, the legend, and the movie.

When I first saw that I had no idea it was a parody of a real guy. Now I find out it's a parody of a guy acting as reid. the things you learn.

/harden the F up stephan.

i'm surprised he wasn't recruited to work for the usa LEO system, or as a 'handyman' for a well-heeled Senator or six.

Ronnie John's?

*clicks link*

Yep, some of their best stuff.

steerforth: Poida!

I still maintain that Poida was Bana's finest work.

/I woz jus' ova da road gettin' a slurpee...

that is crazy... I mean, he is obviously has the most experience with firearms. damn affirmative action, job probably going to a aborigines

Underbelly thread?

...why not? The starter's pistol doesn't fire bullets.

I thought Chris Lilly portrayed Chopper.

It's abuse of the system on the part of the little athletics club

You don't need a working with children check if you are volunteering to help with an activity your own child participates in.

If you are Australia's most notorious outlaw gun, brag about having killed people, robbed banks. Now, four, is hard. Three? Easy.



/English accent!?!

I think you want the "decomposing corpse found in motel" thread, three down from here.


applied for a Working With Children Check in September so he could become a volunteer at the Collingwood Little Athletics club

Aww, c'mon, what better role model for the little Aussies?

Think you meant this one

Spot on, Bevan!

As someone who has friends in Australia, a lot of them really dislike Ronnie John's parody of Chopper, since it's over the top and makes for an annoying character.

Now Bana on the other hand, his Poida put him on the map Down Under, but he had to get serious and play the straight man to make it in America. I found it funny after a bit of research how an Aussie redneck (a Bogan) is pretty much identical to the American versions, from the love of cheap beer and cars down to the mullets.
