Overview
Lewd, crude and very very silly— The Emu War is a completely over the top reimagining of a real 1932 military operation, wherein the army attempted to cull the wheat-crop-eating western emu population with heavy artillery, and lost. In this (extremely loose) version Major Meredith (Damian Callinan), whose son was kidnapped by the Emus, leads a motley crew of soldiers behind Emu enemy lines to find and destroy the Emu Queen. Cue explosions, puppets, mind-boggling effects* and a surprising amount of explicit romance.
Why You Should See This Film
Hot Dad Productions is the comedy team behind this gonzo interpretation —the subject of many a YouTube essay and podcast— just beating out a proposed adaptation written by John Cleese and co-starring Rob Schneider (there but for the grace of God). While the true story is a pretty tragic one-sided battle against native wildlife in the name of protecting the wheat belt, this is a re-imagined bush Apocalypse Now descent into madness and gross-out gags. Stupid in the best possible way, pairs perfectly with a can of Emu Bitter or three.
