Never let the truth get in the way of a good story .....


I have met a couple of the Bandidos and Commancheros involved in the Milperra Massacre who are portrayed in the series: Bikie Wars. Surely the Makers of the Series could have at least tried to do a better job in a visual medium .... Opposite hair colours, small guys substituted for very large guys, and brand new looking bikes! Hardly one of these actors looks like they could rip your head off, unlike the real characters they are based on.

Over the years I have met at least 100 (from 1980 to 2012) or more bikers from every major Outlaw Motorcycle Club and every one of them bares very little resemblance to any of the actors

Australia has some world class story tellers, actors, directors etc however this production which is meant to be based upon such a significant event seems like a fizzer so far.

It is always disappointing when you have a lot of insider knowledge of a movie and it doesn't live up to your expectations but for the majority of us who know little of the topic it think it delivers quite well
