Eric Bana and director Andrew Dominik spent two days with notorious standover man Mark "Chopper" Read while preparing to make Chopper. Dominik later described Read as someone who could make people feel as though he was doing them a favour simply by not killing them.
Gangster Cinema Central@GangsterCinemaChopper (2000) is one of the greatest Australian films ever made. Based on the true story of Mark “Chopper” Read, Australia’s most infamous standover man. Eric Bana’s performance is extraordinary. A brutal, darkly funny crime film. Wildly entertaining. Highly recommended.
