Drama Nazi skinheads in Melbourne take out their anger on local Vietnamese, who are seen as threatening racial purity. Finally the Vietnamese have had enough and confront the skinheads in an all-out confrontation, sending the skinheads running. A woman who is prone to epileptic seizures joins the skins' merry band, and helps them on their run from justice, but is her affliction also a sign of impurity?

	Media	Author	Review
		Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle	"It is violent, certainly, but it's also a genuinely excellent film, horrifying and touching and beautiful in a bloody sort of way. A bit like real life, really."
		Luke Buckmaster The Guardian	"A young Russell Crowe is spellbinding in this ugly but unforgettable film that remains hard-hitting and shockingly violent more than two decades on"
		Mark Dinning Empire	"A film about violent racism that is just too ambivalent in its treatment of the perpetrators" (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"This Aussie 'Reservoir Dogs' opens up a brutal world that needs to be understood."
		IGN	"Crowe is magnificent as Hando (...) is right there with him. It's a tragic, harrowing little film."
		Variety Staff Variety	"'Romper Stomper' is a 'Clockwork Orange' without the intellect."
