Thunderstruck

[Fall Out Boy]

Off to see this film tomorrow, anyone else going to see it?

It's an Aussie film about five Aussie blokes who are huge fans of AC/DC and Bon Scott in particular. They make a pact, and years later, they have to follow through on it.

Looks good.

I saw it yesterday & quite enjoyed it. Make sure you stay until the end of the credits.

 

[Fall Out Boy]

Oh, thanks for that. Usually up and leave the second the credits start.

I've been burnt by Stephen Curry too many times now; I won't be going near it.

 

[Stegelator]

yeah going to see it tonight or tomorrow, should be good movie

 

[Fall Out Boy]

Really enjoyed it.

A great little story about mateship between a group of young Aussies.

Also great to see some young talent getting a chance (Sam Worthington and Kestie Morassi, amongst others).

The soundtrack sounds pretty good too!

Definitely.

Some quality Aussie Rock on the soundtrack. Might have to pick it up in time.

I can wait for video/dvd library on this one even though the AC/DC influence is tempting.

Better story than Hystoria (Movie about Def Leppard which I enjoyed) or Detroit Rock City about Kiss ?

Film isn't about AC/DC as such, moreso they just use Bon Scott as a vehicle for the story of mateship and keeping promises.

Thanks for that, in that case I may catch a look sometime. I was going to avoid it like the plague as IMO AC/DC are about the most overrated hard rock act of all time.

Any Aussie film is good, especially with Steve Curry. Have to go see it, too much footy on the agenda though and there is something called studying. Never done it but i better.

One of the blokes is Stephen Curry, and another looks like Matthew Scarlett, so there isn't much left.

was it made in adelaide, I've heard one of the gigs/scenes was at the colonel light gardens rsl?

 

[sophie]

i think it is filmed in adelaide and freo.

 

[Dogwatcher]

I knew Damon Gameau at uni. Great bloke. his band use to regularly play around Norwood too.

 

[Richmondfan#1]

Yeah the end parts are filmed in Freo (cemetery, obviously). A few of my friends are in it for a few seconds because they asked the drama students of Perth to go down to the cemetery in black clothing for the final scenes.

I saw it yesterday and really enjoyed it. I'm a big fan of Aussie comedies anyway so I can'tve been disappointed. Worthington is a great actor, I wish it wasn't Ronnie that had to die! Good lil story, and a thumbs up.
