The Odd Angry Shot: 2016 restoration trailer

The Odd Angry Shot: 2016 restoration trailer

1979

    The NFSA’s digital restoration of The Odd Angry Shot premiered in Tasmania in August 2016 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan.

    Directed by Tom Jeffrey the 1979 film features an all-star cast including Graham Kennedy, Bryan Brown, John Jarratt and John Hargreaves.

    The Odd Angry Shot follows a single tour of duty of an Australia Special Air Service Regiment reconnaissance team in Vietnam, and their daily life in camp.

    Less about the politics of Australia’s involvement in the war, the film was more about the men, the conflict and their adjustment to life back home.

    Writer-director Tom Jeffrey (2016): ‘The new digital print is fantastic and it has given [the movie] a new lease of life. [The film] remains the only Australian motion picture dealing with our participation in the Vietnam War, and is a tribute to the professionalism of our soldiers serving in extremely difficult circumstances.’
