Did you know
• When Ned Kelly rides to "work" there's a shot where he rides his bike on a long, desolate highway in a big sweeping bend. This highway is the same location as used for the climactic tanker-crash in Mad Max: The Road Warrior.
• When Sir John is about to shoot Kelly, Kelly says "Such is life." These were the famous last words of the real Ned Kelly.
• Yahoo Serious' wife and co-writer Lulu Pinkus (who also appears in the film as a Hollywood Supermarket check-out) previously appeared in The Last Outlaw (1980) -- a four-part miniseries about outlaw Ned Kelly, whose life and crimes also served the basis for this film.
