We're the only ones who could beat the Aussies but then again we'd never invade them either.

[TLAM Strike]

I think you got the movie backwards... it takes place in New Zealand... AUSTRALIA is the one invading! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RenRILqwhJs) :haha:

Looks interesting. The books have great reviews over at amazon so I know whats next on my reading list.

I'm off to see this on Saturday night, can't wait. Since I first read the books about 15 years ago I longed for it to be made into a flick, and now it has :)

I've always wanted Taronga by Victor Kelleher to be turned into a film.

My kids want to go see it as well. I've not read the books but my daughter reckons they are great. I was just interested in the similarities between it and Red Dawn which was the first thing that struck me when I saw the ad last night on telly.

So this is a movie about Kiwi Lebensraum then?

Or is it the bushcheneyhaliburtonpalinrumsfeld warmonger machine?

It couldn't be obamaland invading the Aussies, as the bombers would have been dumping money and gubmint cheese.

[FIREWALL]

Put another shrimp on the barbe TarJak. :DL

I'm on my way to help my Aussie friends.

We don't have shrimps over here but I'll stick a prawn in the pot for you so it's hot when you arrive.

You have to be careful and not let them grow too big or they try to mate with buildings:

I looked at a list of the cast and it seems the invaders are portrayed by actors with asian sounding surnames...

One is British

I can see a limited release in the US, as it did come part of school reading lists, might make it to the UK.

They should avoid NZ, it might give them ideas.......

Could you afford the fuel to reach Australia, let alone invade? If you try to invade, we will send Shane Warne to live in the UK:stare:

[TarJak]

Warney is our Weapon of Mass Disruption.

[TLAM Strike]

Could you afford the fuel to reach Australia, let alone invade?

Lets see the RAF has around a couple of dozen aircraft, so I assume that even with their budget they sufficient fuel for each to make at least one flight over Europe... so the could load all their fuel on to one plane and fly to NZ. Say a C-130 with a Platoon of Paras- I think that is sufficient to conquer NZ...

A Tiger Moth with a shearer in the back seat would be enough, particularly now the earthquake has disrupted their communications.:O:
