CHOPPER: 25th Anniversary

CHOPPER 25 ANNIVERSARY - ONE WEEK ONLY

"Never let the truth get in the way of a good story."

That’s right, Uncle Chop Chop is back… for his 25th Anniversary (you get less for murder… these days). “This film, without meaning to, is almost 95% true. Andrew stumbled into the truth,” says the real Chopper Read about CHOPPER, writer-director Andrew Dominik’s film of 2000.

Mushroon Studios and Luna Cinemas are proud to re-release for a limited time, CHOPPER, the iconic Aussie classic based on the life of notorious criminal Mark "Chopper" Read.

In his breakout role, Eric Bana embodies one of the most infamous Australian criminals of all time: Mark Brandon “Chopper” Read. Inspired by the books of Read, Dominik’s film draws on police records, court transcripts, news coverage and interviews with people who knew the real man. Also starring Simon Lyndon, Vince Colosimo, Dan Wyllie and David Field, CHOPPER is a true Australian classic.

Chopper, ie Mark 'Chopper ' Read, real-life convict and best-selling author of How to Shoot Friends and Influence People. His story is frightening, savagely funny and twisted.

The son of a devoutly religious mother and a one-time soldier with a fondness for sleeping alongside a loaded gun, Chopper dreams of making a name for himself as a legendary crime figure. His journey starts out as a wisecracking criminal failure, inside a maximum-security prison, but he manages to twist his life into a fascinating and wickedly funny tale that the press and public can't get enough of.

Screening at Luna Leederville.
