Director Tom Jeffrey's classic Australian film THE ODD ANGRY SHOT based on William Nagle's novel is available for the first time on DVD.
Starring Graham Kennedy, Bryan Brown, John Hargreaves, John Jarratt, Graeme Blundell, Ian Gilmour and Richard Moir, THE ODD ANGRY SHOT is set in the late 1960's during the Vietnam War.
Examining mateship and camaraderie of Australians in combat the DVD focuses on Harry (Graham Kennedy) a hard-edged SAS corporal who is serving his second tour of duty in Vietnam. In his new company of regular soldiers is the naïve Bill (John Jarratt); the easygoing and laconic Bung (John Hargreaves); the blunt hard-living Rogers (Bryan Brown); the pragmatic and matter-of-fact Dawson (Graeme Blundell) and the youthful innocent Scott (Ian Gilmour).
These soldiers while highly trained find themselves ill prepared for the harsh realities of armed combat and when the first odd angry shot rings out, they realise that their protective shield of humour is in fact no defence at all.
Beautifully restored for DVD, The Odd Angry Shot special features include an audio commentary by Director Tom Jeffrey and cast member Graeme Blundell, a Script to Screen featurette, Dossier: From Book to Film featurette, the original theatrical trailer and cast and crew biographies.
