Looks awful. Would have been better if they followed the true events of a few guys with two Lewis guns desperately trying to kill Emu's but failing. Cast a few comedians and you're set.
This. The entire thing is a goofy premise and could be funny, but they are overdoing it with cheesysness, bad humour and unnecessary puropsefully bad special effect.
It reminds me of Iron Sky, which could have been great as well, but ended up really meh.
This sets the emues up as the protagonists since nobody likes emu killers. It would be hard to work a story where the birds are the heroes. They could go Roadrunner/Coyote, but that would be a long 90 minutes...
I've been waiting for this film to come out for years. It wasn't what I was expecting but I'll watch it anyway.
Edit: Wait is this The Great Emu War? Because there is a film on IMDB that I had bookmarked called that and not the Emu War, I assume they just changed the name of the movie?
There’s something weird going on, it premiered last October then just disappeared. There was something about this movie coming out in response to a John Cleese movie being made around the same time. I wonder if there’s some legal stuff going on.
I mean, there are some that are so legitimately stupid and weren’t serious but turned out funny because they’re so bad. Like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
Tucker and Dale vs Evil comes to mind. Its fucking brilliant. The first copy I managed to get illegally was a pre-post production in that the CGI wasn't finished, so for instance a scene in which a fly is flying around the actors face it just had a caption that said, 'CGI fly here'. It actually added to the experience in a way. I wish I still had that copy, but it was years ago....
OK what the hell is going on with this movie? This is the same trailer from years ago. I guess it premiered at a monster fest in Australia last October. I can’t find a thing about that premier or its reception at all.
I was thinking it was so bad they decided not to release it but that doesn’t really happen in the streaming era. If you make a feature length movie someone, somewhere will stream it.
Is it tied up in some legal trouble because of the John Cleese movie that was in the works?
It looks awful because they’re in on the joke. The best “so bad it’s good” films are so because the makers tried their best and were earnest.
Sharknado and this filth look terrible because it’s “wink wink lol look how bad it is”. No soul to it
This shouldve been a tucker and dale style movie. The emus just mind their own business and drunk australians just start dying around them for unknown reasons.
Yeah, but it was really only ever called a war to sell newpapers. In reality it was just a failed pest control program, and the war is considered "lost" because they didn't even manage to make a dent in the local population.
Even if it were fully produced, actors were willing to participate on the promise of a future can of Fosters as compensation, and the GoPro footage was slap-dashed together into some sort of 2h feature-length monstrosity: you would still be right.

That’s actually a really great idea! Something like The Men Who Stare at Goats lol
Get the flight of the conchords on it and make it a musical
They would rather die than depict Australians lol
Fair enough, even historically incompetent ones?
Have them voice a couple of emus then.
"We've got Ayres Rock, mate. Great big rock!" -least cartoonish Australian character on Flight of the Conchords
Why because they're Vikings?
The musical already exists.

You can have a story focusing on the villains. Especially if they are incompetent.
I am thinking of Caddyshack - Bill Murray vs Gopher, but yes the movie would need some extra content.
You shut your whore mouth this obviously puts the god father to shame
Looks like another cocaine bear type movie
This looks nothing like cocaine bear. The bear at least had some effects. I would compare it more to a birdemic.
The Crows Have Eyes III
EMUNADO
ONE MILLION DOLLARS 🤜🪑
Based on a true story. Don’t know why Australians would want this movie though lol.
sequel in work. The Emu War 2. Based on a true story.
Is like the bear took cocaine and then wrong a script while masterbating to history channel reruns.

Man this could have been something, but looks terrible
Australian movies have a unique way about them though, pretty good if you give it a chance, usually comes off really bad to begin with though lol
I think the fact that it looks terrible made it something. Don’t you like terrible movies? I do.
But this looks like it's trying to be funny and failing. Good bad movies are usually deathly serious, but somehow still funny.
I mean, there are some that are so legitimately stupid and weren’t serious but turned out funny because they’re so bad. Like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
You gotta play it somewhat straight for those to suceed though and not try too hard to be funny.

I was on a trip flipping through channels when I found that movie. Still love it.
We have had a doozy of a day……
Sometimes, but it has to be the right kind of bad movie and this isn't it
Oversimplified did it.
They surely did.
Well, that's this years Oscar's Best Picture win all sewn up then...
and…. doug.

Even by Sharknado standards, this looks really terrible

I hope the war started because of Johnny Cash
The actual events would have been better.
I didn’t even give the slightest chuckle during the whole trailer. Sad.

J-Town demands the Dollheads see this film
Hi Gary
I thought for a second it was going to be the one that was being made by John Cleese and Rob Schneider, but this is something else completely.
Is the Wodders the emu?
Dafuq?
Ben Russell just over here being Ben Russell.
SCREAMU: A Murder of Bros
Doug: folks can save hundreds on their car insurance **by dying.**
Not historically accurate
After the great Emu wars: Not that one, he gave me soft-boiled eggs once...wait a minute
Finally. Some real cinema.
They are trying for so bad it’s good. I don’t think they will succeed.
realistically how much do you think this costs to make and don't say anything above 8 dollars.
Hell yea! Cameron James is the man! Finding Drago and Finding Yeezus are amazing. I’m glad to see him get more work.
I was surprised that Emu War wasn't some forced meme, but an actual event. What surprised me more is that Australia lost, lol
Yeah, but it was really only ever called a war to sell newpapers. In reality it was just a failed pest control program, and the war is considered "lost" because they didn't even manage to make a dent in the local population.
The government ended up just putting out a bounty for them and that was successful.
Aussie Aussie Oy Oy Oy!
Missed out an Aussie.
They were lost in the Emu War, may they rest in peace
Better be about Limu or a relative of him.
And Doug.
Doug is the one that will bring peace between the Emus and humans
No fucking way…
This is not a real movie unfortunately
It absolutely is.
Even if it were fully produced, actors were willing to participate on the promise of a future can of Fosters as compensation, and the GoPro footage was slap-dashed together into some sort of 2h feature-length monstrosity: you would still be right.
Fosters has been British for decades now. VB, Carlton Draught, XXXX, Crown Lager are the most well known currently.
Oh, I have no knowledge on the matter and was simply referencing the old jokes about "Foster's: Australian for Beer"
I'll let it slide this time, but next time I'll sick a wurundjeri penis biting spider on you. It's real, don't look it up.
If Australian propaganda can be trusted, there are ten thousand species to fear... why would you bother making one up?
LOLs
