| Plot: | The time is 1991. The location is Sydney. The event is AC/DC's Razor Edge Tour. And in the thick of the mosh pit are five boys: Sonny, Ben, Lloyd, Sam and Ronnie, having a pearler of a time. When the concert concludes, the boys head on up to the VIP room...and are promptly thrown out. They then proceed out the back alleyway and by sheer chance, owing to a poster of former AC/DC member Bon Scott, the boys escape a near-death experience. Thinking Bon is sending them a message, they sign a contract which says the first to die will be buried by the other four next to Bon in Fremantle Cemetery. Twelve years on, the boys have gone their separate ways. Sonny is a stay-at-home without a job, Sam has been passed between several jobs, Lloyd is into unsavoury activities involving drugs, Ben is a supermarket worker, and Ronnie - perhaps the only successful one - is a jingle creator. Pity his wife Molly is divorcing him but she's only interested in herself and her music. Some of the boys keep in touch, others don't. Sonny and Lloyd have been more reclusive than the others. But abruptly, a bolt of lightning - an ironic shadow of the last song they heard at the concert - changes everything. One of them ends up as a few ashes inside an urn and a Chinese food container, and the other four are thrown into the mix together to get the ashes to the other side of the country. Along the way they deal with creepy petrol station owners, irate disabled people, the epitome of Aussie bogans, and each other, in a bizarre road trip film that will leave you in stitches |

Goofs

CHAR: One of the characters says that AC/DC got their name from a vacuum cleaner, when they actually got it from a sewing machine. GEOG: The boys head north out of Sydney over the Sydney Harbour Bridge to get to Freemantle. A very long way round. |
Quotes

Rob Wallace: Not such a long way to the bottom, is it? Now piss off. Sam: [after Ben has just gotten away from some perverts playing Twister] Where've you been? Ben: Left foot red Mr Koyths: That's what I like about you - you think. Ronnie: [about Bon Scott] He went out in style! Sam: That's how I want to go out! Lloyd: What, choke on your own vomit? Sonny: [In the middle of a funeral] FUCK! He's being cremated! Sonny: So what'd you do after the army failed? Sam: I was a postman, but... apparently it's OK for a dog to bite me, but I can't bite the dog. Sam: What'll your old man do when he finds out the van is gone? Sonny: He'll be fine, once he wakes from his stress-induced coma Robbo: I can't believe you'd ask me a question like that. You got Angus Young, a god, and Axel Rose, a knob. Sonny: Ben, take the broomstick out of your ass. Sam's a dickhead. He's always been a dickhead. He always will be. So there's no point getting upset when he starts acting like one! Robbo: I know this is my third dad, but I think this time it'll work. Sam: Did that prick just give me the finger? Ben: Yeah. I think you got the whole hand Simmo: We got Bon Scott's ashes! Robbo: Yes, we did got Bon Scott's ashes. Molly: You see, everything about me and Ronnie is valuable, even our ashes. You may not understand this, being so ordinary, but when I'm at a concert, I look past my happy singing fans and focus on the one person that isn't swaying, and I make it my mission to make them move. Amy: You still doing those shopping centre appearances, then? Lloyd: You know what your problem was? You had no connections. With my connections... Sonny: I'd get 12 years of good behaviour. Lloyd: Right, so we're going to have to break the guys out, so we're going to have to blow out the side wall... have you got any explosives? Anna: No... but I can get some tomorrow Lloyd: Fuck, that'll be too late Sonny: [Flashback as Sonny describes his 'gigs' to the others] Old McDonald had a farm, E I E I O. And on that farm he had dinosaurs, E I E I O... Birthday Girl: You suck. Sonny: [Lloyd is describing hiding the drugs he's smuggling in a cubicle at the airport, when he has heard a knock at the door and flushed them] So was it the customs guy at the door? Lloyd: Nah, it was just some old bloke that looked like Mr Miyagi! Robbo: [Robbo and Simmo are under the impression that the boys have stolen Bon Scott's ashes] Them's the ones that stole Bon's ashes! Simmo: Well you know what we've gotta do? Robbo: No, what? Simmo: I dunno, that's why I was asking you! Sam: [Sam has just taunted another driver to get out of the van... and realised the guy's in a wheelchair] Shit, sorry mate. Look, how about I just run along, yeah? Van Man: Oh, very funny. Run along. Well maybe we'll just, ah, stand up for ourselves! Get him, boys! He can't run without legs! Sam: [Several other wheelchair people start ramming Sam] OW! The fuck are you doing? I said I was sorry! Van Man: I bet if we could walk he'd want to fight us. You discriminatory bastard! Sam: OW! You guys are mental! Van Man: No, we're 'disabled'. But I suppose a bigot like you would toss in mental disability! Lloyd: Sam, why can't I be in the band? Sam: Because you're no good. You're our manager Lloyd: So why are you lead singer? Sam: Because I can sing. Lloyd: No you can't, you suck! Sam: OH yeah, you wanna have a go? Lloyd: [Sam advances on Lloyd] Bring it on, I can take you! Me and my broom! Lloyd: [Discussing their band getting back together] I'd be pretty good on bass... Sam: Watch the road. Lloyd: Yeah. I'm just saying... Sam: Watch the road! Sam: [Last lines] Hey Lloyd! You can be in the band! Lloyd: YEEEEEAAAAAH! Mr Koyths: I know what he's trying to tell me... he was trying to say, he's been kidnapped! Bugger me! I hope they don't fuck him up the golera! Sonny: [Sam and Ben have just had a brawl, and Ben is walking away] You know, the day that Ronnie died, there wasn't a cloud in the sky. It was perfect weather. So Ronnie goes out to play some golf. Suddenly, out of nowhere, this storm just appears. Ronnie's on the fourth hole. He goes to tee off. [Flashback. We see Ronnie raising his wedge, when a lightning bolt strikes it] You remember what the last song we all heard together was? Ben: No. Sonny: Thunderstruck. Sam: [about Amy telling Sonny she's missed him] Was it like a "I'v missed you" like I walk into a room and your not there, or like "I've missed you" and I wanna rip all your clothes off? Sonny: It was like a [pause] "I've missed you, you know" Sam: Ohh man thats a greenlight! Lloyd: [after being handed a black AC/DC shirt] Do you have anything in white? Sam: How many AC/DC shirts do you see made in white? Lloyd: Well, it's going to be a bit hot wearing black in the desert, Sam. |
