"Shazza’s been having a tough time lately – her Dad Wazza died “on the job”, she’s thrown a brick at the head of a skanky model parading up and down their street and now there’s worse news – her mum, whom shehasn’t seen or heard from since she was three, is dying and wants to see Shazza one last time. Trouble is, she lives in Alice Springs and the dole money isn’t going to stretch to a trip to the dead centre.
In Sunnyvale if you need the impossible done, you can’t go past the bikies. For the right price they can organize just about anything! Bikie gang leader, Angry, gives Shazza a job – drive a campervan to Alice Springs, deliver the goods hidden inside and bring the campervan back. Simple.
Shazza, Dazza, Franky, Vanessa and Kev hit the road and, after some hectic diversions, arrive in Alice Springs just in time. On her deathbed, Shazza’s mum asks her to sprinkle her ashes on top of Uluru after she’s gone. Shazza, Dazza, Franky, Vanessa and Kev head to the Rock where they take on every authority possible in their quest to fulfil Shazza’s Mum’s dying wish.”
Paul Fenech has done it again! Housos vs Authority is a film for fans of the hit SBS TV series Housos, and lovers of Swift & Shift Couriers and Fat Pizza alike.
Franky, Shazza Dazza and the rest of the gang are back again for another hilarious installment of the lives of the citizens from Sunnyvale. The film picks up after the recent death of Shazza's Dad, Wazza, previously played by the late Ian 'Turps' Turpie. And after hearing from her dying mother, Shazza and the rest of the team head off to Alice Springs. From there we see the Housos get into some trouble when they graffiti on national landmarks in Uluru, and, of course, get into trouble with the police.
The film features stars such as Russell Gilbert, Angry Anderson, and Elliot Goblet, alongside regulars Paul Fenech, Elle Dawe, Jabba Davis, and Tahir, just to name a few.
If you don't mind the language, the sex scenes, the nudity, the drugs, and the all-round stupidity of the dole-bludgers, then this is the film for you. Definately grab a copy for a great 100 minutes of laughs, plus a stack of bonus deleted scenes and other extras to keep you going!
