    IIRC it was filmed in 1938 (or was that a 5), so it's possible. Veggie,
    have a peek on the back at the original release date, ta.

    I didn't think it was that bad - certainly nowhere near Rolf Haris'
    cover of Bohemian Rhapsody in terms of being cringeworthy.

    Actually I'd like to hear a whole CD full of people doing NIN covers -
    including Rolf.

    It seems to me that half of Kawasaki's total production run of Z900s was
    destroyed in the making of Australian bike gang films.

    Well, it's kept the second hand values high through relative rarity and
    a certain amount of retro-bad-ass-biker image I suppose

    Is your copy DVD?

    I've looked at all the usual suspects (amazon, blackstar, play et al) but
    don't seem to be able to find it on DVD, just VHS.

  17. Hmm, that's not abuse, particularly when viewed in the historical
    context...
    There's one scene where the flag is visible. It's visible for less than
    one second. It appears to have been used as the German national flag and
    although the film was made two and a bit years after Hitler came to
    power (and immediately set to destroying any political, social or
    financial power Jews had) no one really knew about the situation in
    Germany and certainly had no idea what was to come...
