I feel sorry for the guy who played "The Golden Youth"


Imagine you are this skinny longhaired teenaged heavy metal kid in early 80s Australia.

The good news - You get to act in one of the classic action SF movies of the 20th century. You will be immortalized on screen.

The bad news - You play the second villain's bumboy.

Imagine the reaction his buddies gave him when they saw the film? Imagine him watching it with his mom and dad?

What about the guy who had to have his ass sticking out of his pants for the entire movie for no reason?

How do you know he wasn't gay in real life? He was probably more upset about the boomerang through the skull.



Annoying the world since 1960!

I can't believe I thought that was a woman when I was a kid, even with the exposed chest. 

Ha, me too from memory. I lived in fairly conservative surroundings as a kid, and males just didn't look like that.

But then I watched star wars thinking the imperial troopers were all robots until Luke got into an outfit too, so maybe it's just me lol.


...then whoa, differences...

First time I watched the film (I am from the U.S.), I asked who the blond guy was, in relation to Wez. I was told that he was Wez's son (which, apparently, is the line that the actor who played Wez has continued to pursue).

- Oh, SOMEbody asides me is gonna RUE this here particular day...

He wasn't Wez' son, but Wez was his 'daddy'.
