Where can I stream Chopper with Eric Bana in Australia?
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iconic Australian film, it has been announced that Chopper with Eric Bana made a limited return to the cinema with new bonus sequences. Digitally remastered to ensure the best possible viewing experience, the film that put both the Australian film industry and Bana himself on the map was due to return in July. Of course, the lock threw a key in the works. But in one of the biggest consolation prize offers in consolation prize history: that same digitally remastered edition of Chopper with Eric Bana is now available for streaming via Amazon Prime and YouTube for the very first time in Australia.
Before the biographical film describing the almost mythological life and time from notorious outlaw Mark Brandon “Chopper” Read, the majority of Australian households simply knew Eric Bana as the comedian who was most notable in the comedy series. Full Frontal; later making an appearance in another of the country’s most iconic films, The castle.
After gaining 13 kilos and growing a mustache to take the lead in Andrew Dominik’s production, he will no longer go unnoticed. In the post-yearChopper, Bana would be cast in Ridley Scott’s seminal Black hawk down, drawing even more Hollywood attention, Ang Lee’s Pontoon a few years later, before filming the historic epic of Wolfgang Petersen Troy facing the gritty drama of Brad Pitt and Steven Spielberg Munich back to back.

“I am proud of the originality Chopper is â€, explains Eric Bana to Corp News.
“It’s easy to forget how controversial the idea for the movie was, there were a lot of people really angry that we even made the movie in the first place. It was a real risk, we didn’t really know. what that would do.
“We didn’t win the Best Picture award that year, it got a lot of detractors, but it’s far more important for a film to have longevity than to have a massive opening.”
“Anytime you can be a part of a character who lives longer than five minutes is a privileged opportunity. I’ve never been grateful for that.
As previously mentioned, much to the chagrin of countless fans, Chopper has never been available for streaming throughout its existence until now. And the latest development could very well be the opportunity for Uncle Chop Chop to reach a new generation that has never met Bana in all his glory through a VHS tape or DVD.
“Chopper has been in the demolition site for a little while, waiting to be dusted off, â€adds Eric Bana.
“As a cinephile, for the preservation of all Australian films, it’s great when the best technical version of them can be resurrected and established.”
The digitally remastered 20th anniversary edition of Chopper can now be streamed through Amazon Prime and YouTube. The only problem? You’ll have to shell out a few dollars for renting or buying – although that’s money well spent in our books.
