Romper Room[edit]

Is there any link between the Romper Room line and the film's title? Sounds like coincidence to me. Shall we remove it? Cnwb 10:49, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's novel trivia at the most, certainly not worthy of a See Also. mordemur 13:01, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed it, as it didn't seem to have any bearing on the article. Cnwb 22:58, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"Romper Stompers" were like cups with strings attached - a child's toy that they could walk around on - like stilts. The name "Romper Stomper" was also a slang reference to platform shoes - worn by male skinhead gangs in the mid 1970s in Melbourne. StephenSmith (talk) 17:34, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vietnamese-Australian stars from Romper Stomper[edit]

Did Romper Stomper prove to be a breakout for the Vietnamese-Australian stars of Romper Stomper? Or did the producers not give a stuff about them once they were captured on celluloid?

I'm not clear what you mean. Presumably the producers of the film hired the actors to play the roles they had, then the actors were released once they'd finished their work. It was a low budget film, they may have been paid very little, but I don't think that anyone becomes rich by playing small parts. Good luck to them wherever they are.

The orchestral music for this film was arranged by John Hawker - of the Anne and Johnny Hawker Big Band - and was written by John Clifford-White, who also did the scores for TV's "Flying Doctors" soap opera series. —Preceding unsigned comment added by StephenSmith (talk • contribs) 17:37, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Censorship bias[edit]

When Romper Stomper was released in the UK, there were objections that the film could generate support for the extreme right. This does not tally with the general condemnation put forth by the page.

The only "support" it might generate is hard-luck sympathy, as the hapless crew are shown consistently coming off much the worse in all their scrapes. Nuttyskin (talk) 02:24, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Plot summary[edit]

I've removed the excessively long plot summary and restored an earlier short version, which could of course do with a bit of fleshing out. [ [1]. --Tony Sidaway 22:32, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well it sucks; the movie is not just about a love triangle... --Steinfeld7 (talk) 15:17, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Soundtrack Doesn't Give Credit to Bands[edit]

The soundtrack includes work from many far-right bands like Skrewdriver and Fortress, yet doesn't credit the bands. Is there a way to include this fact? 74.64.22.193 (talk) 00:16, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The soundtrack was not written by any real racist bands - it was written by John Clifford White and performed by him and the Bastard Squad, who used the name "Master Race" for the film. Fokker T I SM 08:51, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
