Aussie Park Boyz (2004)

Although i watched this film by myself(thankfully), i still felt embarrassed while watching it. I was tricked into renting it by the reviews on the front cover, and the bloody/gritty camera stills on the back-which led me to believe it was some sort of documentary. These actors are laughable throughout the entire film, not convincing at all. The story involves an Italian Australian(?) gang, just fighting other gangs, and then running,fighting,repeat. Supposedly they train extremely hard, which makes them way better than other gangs. For some reason I don't believe that they could actually beat up some of these other guys that are twice their size. I could be wrong... no I'm not wrong, this movie is not enjoyable on any level.The jail montage looked like it was a summer camp, just instead of kids, it was a sausage fest of horrible actors, just hanging out and laughing and trying to look hard. This movie is not worth your time, save your money, or throw it in the garbage, just don't waste it on this movie.

OK, Yes at first this movie seemed to move along really slow and mellow dramatic. You have to get past the first 20 minutes and then this movie takes you for a ride. If you are into action-fighting movies and you can appreciate the art of a movie no matter what the budget constraints were or are, Then give this movie a chance. This movie has nothing but skillful fighters/actors. I am watching it again tonight. Nunzio La Bianca, the guy who plays Cam is one of the best fighters I have seen in a long while. He is a guy with a big hart and know his physical limits. This movie is like a fighting instruction video. This is one of those movies that it's best advertisement is word-of-mouth.

the reason why i gave this movie a 4 was for a couple reasons, but this movie was not that bad. first off, the editing i found too be pretty poor at times, the script(or what they had of one) was not very good, and if not for Nunzio La Bianca, the acting would have been crap. but all that aside(ha ha i know its like the whole movie) its not that bad for an extremely low ind. , low budget film. If they would have gotten more money, a little better actors(but these ones were intimidating so it was good) and a little more detailed script this movie would be terrific. Somebody has to tell me this guy was influenced A lot by the warriors by Walter hill. i mean this movie is exactly like it. anyone who has seen both those films will agree with me.

Writing from a gay point of view. If you are looking for a rough and tough movie this film is not. It has lots of comical fighting and hot men to watch. You never really know if it was made to be gay but it is definitely gay friendly. The box art looks harder than it really is. I see other reviews don't care for this movie but if you like gays,B-Movies,punk and dance music you will love this film. I can see the boys renting this to have the gaggle of gooses come on over for a good laugh. It is the cleanest uncut time I have ever had. Definitely a Australian Oz in the streets. When they do go to prison they get called girls. Just like family. Too Cute.
