Title 'Just a bloke who likes a bit of torture'
Author(s)Garry Maddox,Stephen Gibbs
Publication Date 12-07-2000
Page Number 21
Synopsis Maddox discusses the publicity shot of Bana stripped to the waist, covered in tatoos, heavily armed with a halo around his head and doubts Read deserves the halo or "folk hero" status.


Maddox gives a plot synopsis, claims the R level rating is deserved noting Chopper seems comically unperturbed by the violence that surrounds him.


He concludes Chopper is entertaining and stylishly directed and applauds Bana for his role but states he lacks the "freewheling ugliness" the 'real' Chopper demonstrated when he appeared on Elle McFeast.
