Movie Connections:

Spoofs Rocky (1976)

Sick mate sick, subwoofer!!!

This movie is a fully sick ule. A real Aussie comedy with everything you could ask for. Heaps of sex, drug use, chicks, violence and ethnic humour goes to good use in the best Aussie movie of 2003 (and possibly of all time), that really makes me laugh everytime I see it. Paul Fenech has come a long way since his time as a cleaner at SBS, and now has evolved his great idea pinch into a great cult comedy that even gets a couple of laughs from people who hate the show.

All polictally correct whingers, wankers and whiners are not invited to this chick fest as Sleek, Paulie, Rocky, Habib, Bobo, and newcomer, skip Davo Dinkum go on all their usually funny adventures getting ready for Bobo's wedding with his mail order bride. A must see for every wog, with sick burnouts, hot chicks, sex, subwoofers and fast cars to please even the most conservative ethnic.

If your a fan of the TV show, or just out for a quick laugh, see it ya zibt. You'd be an absolute stooge if ya missed it.
