Romper Stomper (1992)


A group of racist skinheads become alarmed at the way their neighbourhood is changing.

Set in Melbourne, Russell Crowe plays the tough leader of a gang of nazi skinheads, who attempt to threaten the Vietnamese immigrants out of their area by using brutal violence. Although the subject of race is primarily the source of the plot, this film also delves into the other prejudices associated with their fear of impurity and problems within their own kind.
Written and directed by Geoffrey Wright, this grimy movie features one of Crowe's most earthy performances and never fails to have impact.
