You have to remember that "The Odd Angry Shot" was filmed in the mid-1970s. It was shown outside Australia but you're talking about 30 years ago so it's no surprise that people haven't heard of it - back in the days of the drive-in theatre and beer cans made from steel!

The 113 is a good example of the old adage KISS. Thoroughbred race horses get girls hot, but workhorses keep the business running.

It's an absolutely AMAZING movie. Relatively low budget, but very realistic depiction of Australian troops in operation (or just in the boozer).
Best scene EVER has to be the WP grenade at the bridge, but then I am a sadistic bastard sometimes.

Been years since I saw it, but I remember thinking it was very good. I don't know for sure if it ever saw screen time in the US, when I saw it in the early 90s it was a rental from a local video store that competed with the chains by stocking foreign films and obscuria.

I first saw that on HBO when I was in college, in the early-to-mid 1980s. It was a good movie. I thought it was funny when one guy got his pack stolen. Then he found out it was a monkey. Then he found out the monkey was a protected species and he wouldn't be allowed to shoot the thing and get his pack back. You could practically see the steam coming out of his ears...

"Who is the prick who pinched my pack!"
