The answer: yes.
[Jun 19,2006 1:41pm - Dissector ""]
Still haven't seen it. Netflix here I come...
[Jun 19,2006 1:42pm - RichHorror ""]
Since the only competition I can think of is American History X... yes.

I cannot like Russel Crowe, but the movie was ok, I guess.
Prolly didnt like it cuz of the lovey dovey crap at the end.
[Jun 19,2006 1:43pm - RichHorror ""]
The movie would've been way better if the blonde skank was beaten to death.
[Jun 19,2006 1:44pm - powerkok ""]
I second and third that.

It's a good movie but not the best.
Made in Britain
The Believer
The Infiltrator
Suburbia
Rude Boy
Pariah
Oi! Warning
All great movies.
American History X is also fantastic.

No, like when he disses his 'bros' and takes off with that skank.

Believer was a pretty well done film. It did get kind of stale in some places. But the end was really interesting.
Compared overall to Romper Stomper though I think RS had better developed characters, and a better pace. I would have felt a lot better about the ending though if that girl had drowned.
A worthwhile mention (despite the fact that it has nothing to do with punks, or nazi skins) is Green Street Hooligans. If you can get over Elijah Woods (who is a puss from the first frame to the last) it's a pretty entertaining movie about British assholes beating the hell out of eachother.

I could certainly stand to see a Romper Stomper 2 that's just 90 minutes of Davey slugging that girl in the mouth.

Romper Stomper is an awesome film. I saw it in the screening room of the Coolidge when it came out with a gnarly collection of hoodlums, thugs, skinheads and punks.
There are some really stupid parts that take away from it's integrity, mostly the shit that is just so dumb and ridiculous.
But for a movie that was about skinheads, it was cool. Some of those dudes remind me of the weird sketchy dudes that I used to know when I was younger, but less open with the nazism.
I just got a copy on VHS for $5 off of Ebay. I am really psyched.

I've seen this down the street for $5, I guess it's worth picking up?

I second this. She was a skank, indeed.
But I really liked the movie for the most part.

yes dude pick it up. And for $5 totally get it. it will be some boring rainy night and you will put it on and be fucking entertained.

The soundtrack alone makes it my favorite.
