Controversial drama about a group of Melbourne skinheads, lead by the Hitler-worshipping Hando (Russell Crowe), and their violent attacks on the city's immigrant population. When the group is joined by newcomer Gabe (Jacqueline McKenzie), her epilepsy threatens to disturb the skinheads' ideas of purity and leads to disputes which promise the eruption of yet more violence. At the same time, the gang's future is threatened when the Melbourne Vietnamese community, the target of so many of their hate crimes, begins to fight back.

Romper Stomper (2 Disc Special Edition) DVD Widescreen
Most of the reviews below detail accurately the film itself. All I would say in addition is, if anyone thinks this is a racist film, then they're mistaken.This is a short review of the widescreen version.This 2 disc version is in the original ratio, there are parts of the film where it isn't too important, the hand-held fight sequences for example, but it comes into it's own in the intimate close up work and particularly in the final scenes. The transfer is good, sharper than the single disc and colours are more natural and vivid. On the Audio side there is Dolby Digital 5.1 with DTS plus a stereo option. There is also a director's commentary.The extras on disc 2 are fairly meagre, there are interviews with:-Russell Crowe 12minsGeoffrey Wright 29minsJacqueline Mackenzie 12 minsTony Lee 10minsPaul McDonald 18 mins (an outreach worker with street people)There are also two galleries and a short clip of a photo-shoot.If you've the cropped version, is it worth buying again ? Yes, if you love the film.If you're thinking of buying for the first time, it's the only version to buy, trust me. ;O)
