I enjoyed watching it; but I am obsessed with the sport. If you're not, it's very well possible that you won't be so impressed by 'Hell on Wheels'.

G'day,
it's just opened here in Oz.....excellent doco....superb production values etc. Its rare for our sport to get on 'the big screen' so I made the most of it. Highly recommended for those that are fanatical about this sport (& isn't that most of us)......mind you, you seppo's probably won't think much of it.....not much Lance!

RESULT.....
great flik...! my girlfriend even enjoyed it, but of course mentioned it was a little extended..!! ha ha she thought 90 mins would have been perfect.
i think the reason for that was.... the film MELTED halfway through, the screen went all blurry then... nuthin....
took them half an hour to fix it..!!!!!!

Doesnt Oz have a different format for DVD's than the US? or was that only for Video Cassettes? My wife has a bunch of Paul Hogan show tapes and stuff like that, but our VCR wont play them properly.
If the DVD will play over here, can one of you chaps mail me one if i send you the funds?
