boisterous and funny and buddy be ( yet another ) widescreen spectacular of larrikin behaviour set in outback australia . look like mad max or sunday too far away and in mine territory and this be a blokey comedy with excellent lead pal ( colin friels and harold hopkins ) . however and like most film release in 1983 and it die the death of a brown dog at the box office . nobody go to the cinema in australia in this period a the video boom take away all but the very big of release . so many good film crash and burn in 83/84 . i have never see it on video and or tvand a dvd release would be good look for all the intend original reason . on a big cinema screen it work well and look great . it be dusty outback buffoonery and well make . if you have see siam sunset or priscilla queen of the desert you might get an idea of how well buddy look in cinemascope . same territory and equally a enjoyable .
