Aussie
Park Boyz
(2004)
Aussie
Park Boyz is a 2004 gang
action drama about Pep
who heads the Aussie
Park Boyz out of Osborne
Park in Perth, a group
of mostly Italians, who
go around picking fights
for money against other
rag tag gangs in the
area. Pep vouches for
Cam, a hothead who
thinks with his fists
rather than his head.
The two go are sent to a
drug deal by local
kingpin Jimmy, but it
goes wrong and Cam beats
one guy to death. Pep
and Cam are arrested on
the spot and serve 16
months in prison where
they barely survive the
Maori run prison. Two
years after their
release from prison, Pep
and Cam and a bunch of
Aussie Park Boyz head
across town for some
reason (something to do
with tickets, I
dunno...) where they are
spotted by the brother
of the man Cam beat to
death and the brother
goes ballistic. He sets
up a plan to frame Cam
for the rape of the head
of the Maori gang's girl
so that they can get
him. But, that's the
least of the Aussie Park
Boyz problem because
every gang in the area
wants a piece of the
Boyz. It's going to be a
long night. I have no
problem with low budget
films in general and try
to judge them on merit,
but Aussie Park Boyz is
appalling for the most
part. The first 20
minutes is unwatchable,
there is so much
ridiculous posing going
on I fully expected
someone to bust a vein
in their forehead. But,
once all the bullshit is
done and the film
inevitably turns into a
Warriors knock off, this
film gets better, not by
much, but at least it
rips off the right film.
It even has a fairly
tragic ending which sets
up the second film. If
you want to watch this
film, I recommend
skipping the first 45-50
minutes and watching the
low budget Warriors
action.
