      Eric Bana is one of those actors that everyone just naturally assumes is some highly esteemed actor, but then you check his iMDB and notice he's been in nothing but trash his entire carrier.

    hi sean, he's not 'mad' although some may argue he's crazy. I found Chopper to be a great storyteller - and a lot of fun to have a few drinks with at the pub. Despite what some puritans may claim - that he's a criminal blah blah blah - he is an Australian icon with a major Aussie award winning movie about his life. Multiple books. And his sense of humour is truly delightful. So yes - he may be a little bit mad - but aren't we all? And the most interesting people I know are kinda crazy :)

There is something about chopper I can't help but like some parts to his personallity, not all, he did do some horrific crimes and nasty stuff to people, I was hooked on heroin for 4 years and it is a life changer of a drug and the people who sell it usually are the scum of the earth with no morals or humanity in there souls I don't think they deserve the justice that chopper gave them but I do understand where he's coming from.! what was your opinion of him after spending some time with him , he's clearly nuts haha

    Chopper has died. The criminal perpetrator became a criminal commentator. He was a living legend despite what some pious judgemental types might say about him. And he was funny. Sitting in a pub, having a drink with him and listening to a few stories - the guy was entertaining. And he was privy to a side of life most of us only ever see in movies. It's a rare thing for a career criminal to die of old age. I wish his family all the very best and hope the media is kind to them.

    I personally think he 'knew', within a reasonable doubt, that the round was resting in the bottom of the revolver. Crazy as he is, I'm not fully convinced that he'd be willing to risk committing murder on live camera, but then again, he is insane. For the record, I'm in no way trying to underplay how dangerous the situation was, and I could be very wrong. Either way, bravo maintaining composure.

    Fair play to you Renee for keeping your cool at the end when he pointed a gun to your face. You seemed to have stayed extremely cool in your demeanor even though he didn't give you a choice. Must have been terrifying for you but you kept calm which I applaud you for. God knows how it would have went if you started to panic.
    I've only heard about Chopper today as I came across a scene from the film version (the stabbing) which then prompted me to search for more information about this man. Very interesting stuff and a small insight into his mind and his character.

  • @reneebrack
    @reneebrack  9 лет назад +60

    Chapter 22 in Chopper's 2nd book Hits & Memories explains more about that day. I have explained it in previous comments, articles, TV ages etc. Quick summary: I wanted Chopper to explain how he won Russian Roulette against the Chinese mafia because his 'strategy' was to take 2 shots at his own head. When he loaded the gun & pulled the trigger, I didn't know I'd be going 2nd. I didn't believe he'd pull the trigger in my face. The cameraman called 'enough'. Chop said 'now the camera is off, I'll tell you how I won. An overly oiled barrel takes the weight of the bullet to the 3rd or 4th chamber - so the first 2 are clear.' Is it true? Maybe? Does it work every time. I doubt it.

    • @reneebrack
      @reneebrack  9 лет назад +26

      ***** is that the reaction you would have had? I ain't no panic merchant. Rabbits duck and still get shot. Your strategy is faulty. I didn't think he'd pull the trigger. And I ain't the type to freak out and faint.

      I actually read that when you play, and spinning the barrel, that the bullet weighs down the barrel and sits at the bottom so its not lined up to shoot. Sort of a trick but is by no means safe. Thats why he was so confident shooting at her.

    I agree Renee, I had a chance to meet Chopper at a comedy show he was promoting at the time. At the end of the show he signed an autograph for me and took a pic, he had a laugh and was a really friendly guy. I'm not saying I would have let him babysit my kids, but it goes to show there is more to a person than just what the media dictates. So brave though Renee, my life would have flashed before my eyes in this case lol

    Thanks for posting. Reading the book by Adam Shand - he mentions this interview and the fact that his 'young assistant' had to have s sliver of glass removed from his neck.after the crack shot had a go. Better you than me to be there that day with not Mickey Mouse.

    it was a fitting final public comment with a couple of digs, a bit of confessing - everything that anyone would expect. the really interesting final words from Chopper would be on his deathbed.

    Damn, Renee, you're pretty good! He did so much stupid and dangerous stuff in front of you, and you remained professional and unbiased. This is the kind of educational reporting I like to see.

    thank you. it's not every day that i find an interview subject who is like a character from a movie. when i read the first book i thought 'if speak like this with a camera in his face, i've got a great story that the average australian will identify with - in a positive or negative way. i laugh at people who chastise the media for doing stories on bad guys as if we are promoting them. go watch a james bond movie without the bad guy and tell me how interesting that is. life is colourful.

    I think he was probably bipolar to be honest. Almost certainly. I counsel several people with the condition and they have remarkably similar personality traits - the over-the-top, dramatic, almost theatrical tone of the voice and personality is very typical. They’re constantly putting on a show - because they’re trying to hide how they’re actually feeling.
    Of course Chopper is an extreme case. Most bipolar people just get very depressed when something bad/stressful happens to them, whereas his outlet was obviously violence.

    • @bqrre

      But a lack of remorse isn't something that bipolar stands for.

    I understand your point of view and others share it. I have not referred to him as a 'nihilistic thug' so you might have to check who said that. Many Australian's regard Ned Kelly and the sheep thief The Jolly Swagman as national treasures and icons f homage to our convict past. Chopper happens to be living version of that. And it's just my opinion after all - it's not true for all Australians. And when it comes to cops and robbers movies, I cheer for the robbers. Better senses of humour ;)

    lol - there's a funny guy who's claimed to be filming at the Hard Copy shoot in 'Tanzania' when the Chopper interview was shot in 1992. He must have a very long camera lens seeing Tanzania is in Africa. lmao
