The Faster Gun Down Under (1984) [Short]

New Zealand (MIFF1986)
Director: Greg Stitt

In the suburbs of New Zealand's largest city is a cowboy club, whose members act out their Hollywood fantasies by dressing up and staging fist fights and shoot-outs. This film documents their activities without comment, but the macho posturing betrays a great deal about cultural insecurity and cultural imperialism "The darker side of a Nuclear-Free New Zealand!”
