Chopper (2000) – 20th Anniversary

Never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn!

Chopper is Mark ‘Chopper’ Read (Eric Bana), real-life convict and bestselling author of How to Shoot Friends and Influence People. His story is frightening, savagely funny and twisted. The son of a devoutly religious mother and one-time soldier with a fondness for sleeping alongside a loaded gun, Chopper dreams of making a name for himself as a legendary crime figure. He begins his journey as a wisecracking criminal failure inside a maximum-security prison, but he manages to twist his violent life into a story that fascinates and polarises both press and public.

This special 20th anniversary screening also includes 13 minutes of bonus footage, consisting of interviews, rehearsals, behind the scenes content, and a few must-see surprises.
