You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Mono ),WIDESCREEN, SPECIAL FEATURES: Biographies, Cast/Crew Interview(s), Commentary, Filmographies, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Trailer(s),SYNOPSIS: In this hilarious, award-winning comedy, Malcolm (Colin Friels) is an innocent, naive mechanical genius with a distinct gap where sexual and social awareness normally reside. He first gets into trouble when he builds his version of a streetcar and then takes it on a joyride through Melbourne -- a definite no-no. That exploit costs him his job as a maintenance man for the streetcar company. Out of work, Malcolm is forced to take in two boarders who are actually a con man and his female companion. The con artist is intrigued by all of Malcolm's mechanical inventions, and cash registers are clicking at the back of his mind. It does not take him long to convince Malcolm to join them in robbing a bank -- which turns out to be even more adventurous than the streetcar ride through Melbourne. Director Nadia Tass and her husband, co-producer, scripter and cinematographer David Parker followed up with an enjoyable and funny Rikky and Pete.
SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Australian Film Institute,

Customer Reviews

Please release a Region-1 version!4
I have fond memories of seeing this 1986 Australian film on HBO/Showtime in the late 1980s. Inventive, touching, funny. If it ever becomes available in a format playable in North America, snap it up. Check the Internet Movie Database for more info.
