Very best movie i ever watch
The Worst Film Ever
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Look, I'm a fan of this film, truly, I am. It's just very dated. The anachronisms, the language, the sensibilities, the pacing. It might be a road movie, but it's SLOW. There's no sense of urgency and you really don't 'get' that there's actually something they're running from.However, I love how much this film covers the country. The Wellington scenes are good fun.Perhaps I would have liked it more if I was alive when it was released/set but it just doesn't appeal to me. I don't deny that it's a stalwart of Kiwi cinema, but times have changed and this film certainly doesn't endure.
I was born 11 years after this came our and watched it for the first time 25 years after that, a mere fortnight before the remake is released.I can see why this film was an instant classic. It remains true to its era and although it appears a little dated today it will forever be regarded as a pinnacle of Kiwi Cinema.If you've ever lived in New Zealand you'll be able to say "I've been there!" as the characters wind their way down the country from tip to tail. I might be coming to the party 35 years late but even I was able to recognise streets in Auckland, Dunedin and on the West Coast. Reminisce about your own road trips, adventures, excursions and joy rides in a 1978 Mini Cooper.If you're Kiwi, you can't not love it.
This film is an indispensable piece of Kiwiana. While the humour has certainly dated, it's still heaps of fun....and an excellent example of the road movie genre. Good for including many different locations in New Zealand, too. Was (and possibly still is) very popular in its native land.
I saw this film years ago, back when having a VCR was a real novelty. It was available on VHS at the time. I recall very much enjoying the movie, about a couple of off-beat characters in a mini driving the length of New Zealand. Their journey takes on folk-hero proportions as they progress further and continue to elude police. What I'm wondering is if the film is available on video anywhere now? My local video shop certainly doesn't have it, and I can't find it on Amazon.com Thanks.
