  This thread reminds me that sometime I need to hunt down Romper Stomper. One of Russell Crowe's first movies, about a skinhead group in Australia that implodes due to a love triangle and a racist attack on Vietnamese that winds up going a bit wrong.

  Going by Wiki, it came out in 1992, but the only awards listed were three Australian Film Institute ones.

  I'm calling "bullshit" on that. Sounds like an Academy Award winning plot to me.

  Well there might be a bit more to it than that. Like cool accents, since it's a bunch of Aussies.

  I used to own Romper Stomper. I would guess it came out in the early 90's.

  The worst part about this whole scene is when you can hear his teeth touch the concrete. The stomp doesn't bother me, but that faint sound makes me cringe.

  The funniest thing about this movie are all the racists who name this as their favorite movie. Nothing funnier than people missing the point.
