Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Timeless, still entertaining in 2009. Could we get a remake, say with the new (BMW)Mini. Let's see how well this vehicle can be shared with everyone across the country. Tourism NZ should be consulted, so we will see a bit more about this beautiful part of our planet. Or simply turn it into a wacky chase from North to South on different modes of transport. Include scenes that spoof on other famous Kiwi Movies, e.g. include the house from "Scarfies" in Dunedin or instead of the Wizard in Christchurch show Hayley Westenra busking in the Mall. While standing in front of the TV Tower in Auckland let a Tom Cruise Look-a-Like buzz down on the Bungy rope (if not himself...). Directors of New Zealand: Get creative for your country ! The world is waiting for a new Kiwi Classic.

Yep great Kiwi movie in it's day, got people back into the movie theaters showed life the way it was, if you were unhappy with things the way they were you could just drop everything jump in a car and go. sadly it is showing it's age a little now, but is still great entertainment the mini speeding through the streets of wellington is just great, then driving through the wellington railway station just great.As for those big Aussie tanks the cops use to use, they always had trouble catching smaller cars on the Windy narrow roads, only ever good for the straits. The sad thing is Geoff Murphy didn't make any more comedy ones after this bit of a shame. got some great actors, Kelly,Bruno,Don & co. Lots of kiwi jokes. just a great entertaining movie, i saw it on DVD so bought it, a must have. Shame that movies like this for good old entertainments sake are seldom made anymore.

A classic NZ movie. Two rebels and a stolen yellow mini treat us to a bunch of laughs as they stay ahead of the police on a 1000 mile road trip from top to bottom of NZ. Goodbye Pork Pie was a local blockbuster and sold to more overseas territories than any film of the time This is available as PAL VHS in NZ for less than $nz15.00 about $us9.00

This movie is great fun, and entertaining from start to finish. Whereas some of Geoff Murphy's movies (Quiet Earth, Young Guns 2, Utu) made it to video, this little gem didn't (at least not here in the US) - too bad. Hopefully at some point, someone will recognise it as the classic it is, and release it on video or DVD.
