You sure know that only real fans "get" Ned Kelly. |

LOL! I tuned in in the middle of it while Mick was singing "Wild Colonial Boy!" Though I've seen it several times before, I just had to keep watching. Not Mick's finest hour (in fact laughable in many places) but still fun. |

He wasnt bad at all. Sort of.
I believe the reason he was chosen was not because he resembled a solid, 6ft1inch, Irish boxer, horse thief murderer, but because at the time, Jagger was considered a rebel & outlaw, fighting against injustice and hypocrisy, as much as we Aussies considered Ned Kelly to be one.
It's by no means great, but it beats the shit out of the Heath Ledger crap fest from a couple of years ago. And, i might add, is much more historically accurate than the latter version.
And, the final battle was extremely well staged.
It's Jagger's beard that is the worst aspect of it all.
And, dont forget, the woman who took over Maryanne Faithfull's role was and still is, married to Gary McDonald, who portrayed a character called Norman Gunston, who was seen in the REWIND video.
Just thought i bring that up again.

'Innaresting' summary (and I didnt know that about the great Mr Gunston's sheila). Beg to differ about the 'worst aspect' part, though. That half arsed faux-Oirish accent that comes out of his mouth is horrendous, although in fairness Tom Cruise's abortion of an effort in "Far and away" is far worse (and hes an oscar nominated actor) and makes Jagger's sound like Richard Harris by comparison

I try to avoid it like dog shit on the sidewalk.
Ted Turner must have a fetish for Ned Kelley. It's on TNT all the time.
I do like the wrestling scene though. |

It is said that rapper "Nelly" took his name from the movie "Ned Kelley", of which he has been a lifelong fan.

John Jarratt, who played the baddie in "Wolf Creek" was the best Ned Kelly, in a tv mini-series about 12 years ago.
Our movie industry in late 60's was nil existant. For better or worse, Roeg's Ned Kelly kick started our industry. Again.
As you should all know, we actually invented moving pictures. Sort of. The worlds 1st full length movie was "Soldiers of the cross" (Circa 1901). The 2nd??? Why, Ned Kelly of course!! Only about 7 seconds remain of the latter.
From the 20's to late 30's, Oz cinema was flourishing here. Actors like Errol, Peter Finch, Cecil Hardwicke, Bud Tingwell and many more were huge. But, American interests began buying our cinemas, and insisted on showing only U.S. movies. After WW2, our industry was shot. Superb films like "20 thousand horse-men" were like the swan song. If you havent seen this movie, try to do so. The "Charge" at the end was truly gob-smacking.
After Jagger's Kelly, Australians decided, after so long, that they liked seeing familiar actors on the big screen and hearing our accents. The 50's - 60's was dominated by other people's view on us, like Sundowners & On the beach.
Barry Humphries (Dame Edna) kicked things along with "Adventures of Barry McKenzie" circa 1971. Other films like Stork, Alvin Purple, Sunday too far away, Picnic at Hanging Rock & Getting of wisdom led to a resurgence. Also, after 17 years of conservative Govt which ended in 1972, the Oz film industry got assistance.
Things jumped up considerably when Mad Max came out. Peterson, The last wave, Dogs in space, Crocodile Dundee. Love and other catastophes, Running on empty, all led to stuff like Babe, Lantana, Two Hands, Wolf Creek, and now, Jindabyne.
In turn, our expertice (and crappy dollar!) ensured many, many movies were made here, like the last 2 Star Wars movies, House of wax, Scooby Doo, Salems Lot, and the current Superman among so many others. The upcoming Stephen King's Nightmares & Dreamscapes was filmed right in Melbourne.
Though, alot of absolute crap has been made by us. Houseboat horror, Turkey shoot and so many others were just insults. More accurately, they were tax evasion scams.
Sadly, many inner city, lefty, Chardonnay sipping, self-reflection, "whiteys are all pricks" type movies are made. With Gov't assistance. And they are lucky to earn enough to cover catering costs. As an example of how bad things have been lately, "SAW" was knocked back for assistance as it wasnt considered worthy! The director and lead actor are Aussies. They wrote the script too. They had to go to America.
They are now worth about $100mill each!
So, when you think of it, Jagger helped re-ignite our industry. If only because he played a national anti-hero, and many people were pissed off a skinny, pale "Pom" played it.

Nick Roeg directed "Performance". "Kelly" was directed by the late Tony Richardson (husband of Vanessa Redgrave, and dad of Natasha and Joely Richardson).
Now you mention it, Nicholas Roeg being let loose on a Ned Kelly bio could have been quite something!
Didnt know there was a film made in 1906 of Ned Kelly. Found this on IMDB.

Hey, check it out what I just found in my "arquives".
I cant remember if the movie is good or not cuz I was too wasted, but I did remember to steal a banner of the movie. Smart, huh??? 
In Portuguese, the movie title is something like "The Scaffold will be Your Reward". Mmmmmmmm....

You never know, nitrate films show up in attics every so often. Most of them combusted though - that's why most films before safety stock are lost.
