    More of a documentary than a drama, a 'docu-drama' if you will, 'The F.J. Holden' movie delivers up Bankstown, NSW, Australia, as it really was for us local rev-heads in the late 1970s.

    I'll always be proud to call myself a Bankstown boy. It is actually far nicer than people give it credit for although growing up there was tricky. Thanks to the Middle Eastern crime squad and Goulburn Supermax it has vastly improved since the days of Blue Light Disco stabbings, good old Telopea St and the classy Milperra massacre. Getting belted up by gangs in Bulldogs jerseys for no other reason than you were white and on your own was fun too, ahh the good old days. Nostalgia.

      How the hell is Bankstown the same as the projects? I don’t see homeless people flooding Bankstown, I don’t see people getting shot 24/7, I don’t see crackheads there. The most project-like suburb in Sydney really Surry Hills/Redfern. I bet u made up ‘gangstown’, and you have never been to Bankstown, yet you still try to give your opinion of Bankstown. You are entitled to your🐱 opinion of Bankstown, but at least get your white-trash self up out of Vaucluse, and go there to see ‘how bad Bankstown’ is.

      You're excused.
      Knowing this from being born and raised right smack in Bankstown, quite a bit of the older Lebanese folks are more civilised, however it was a fair percentage of the younger Lebs that wrecked their reputation, with their holier-than-thou attitude, their "I own Bankstown. You stay out of my city" mentality, disregard for authority, etc. But particularly the latter, given the level of disrespect they air out at the police, the amount of carnage they caused through doing burnouts and doughnuts with their cars (normally Japanese), and their level of shouting. But then some of the Bankstown Police have then in turn damaged their own reputation by mixing the badly-behaved crowd with the well-behaved crowd by means of accusations and assumptions leading to innocent folks being arrested or tackled, which then turned the level of rebellion from the reckless young Lebs even further.
