Editorial Reviews

Australia released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), WIDESCREEN (1.85:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: 2-DVD Set, Deleted Scenes, Interactive Menu, Photo Gallery, Short Film, Storyboards, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: The popular Australian comic strip The Wonderful World of Barry McKenzie was first brought to the screen in this raunchy 1972 romp. Barry Crocker plays the title character, a carefree Aussie cowboy with an inordinate fondness for beer and 'Sheilas'. Touring England as a stand-up comic, Barry runs across several odd characters, including addlepated discipline freak Dennis Price. Also on hand is Barry McKenzie cocreator Barry Humphries, appearing in drag as Dame Edna Beveridge, a character who would bring Humphries worldwide fame and fortune in the 1990s. Director Bruce Beresford, who went on to such loftier efforts as Breaker Morant, Tender Mercies and Crimes of the Heart, breezes through his scatalogical material with the abandon of a schoolboy scribbling naughty words on the sidewalk. ...The Adventures of Barry McKenzie

3.0 out of 5 stars Diversificating Nation, October 3, 2007
Early Dame Edna takes her UK-born Australian nephew back to England to merry on a local girl of whose mother arranged this trip on her expense.

Showing the England of the seventies as seen by an Australian-bread lad and lad's behavioral features as seen by local Pomes distinguishes traditionally between Australia and mother country of England by usual made-in-Australia way.

Perhaps, Crocodile Dundee in the States ( see, for instance, The Crocodile Dundee Triple Feature )is the further much better developments of this topic on one nation's diversification upon a passage of time occurred.

5.0 out of 5 stars Australian nostalgia trip, April 10, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Bought this for my husband who was an Australian in London at the same time as Bazza. He loved the gift. Though I'm not a fan of Dame Edna-I loved the one-eyed trouser snake song sung by Barry!
