Plot: Macho Aussie Mark Brandon 'Chopper' Read doesn't even want to control his violent mood, dreaming of becoming an 'admired' crime legend. A confusing flash back structure from a murder trial shows his fickle paranoia, jealousy and arrogance can bring him no booty. He's even too insignificant for major charges. Nevertheless his abominable misbehavior, mainly at friends and loved ones' expense, ends up launching him into another career.
Alternative Plot: America had Al Capone; England, the Kray brothers and Australia - proving once and for all its antipodean sense of humor - has Mark "Chopper" Read. "Chopper" is inspired by the books of Mark Brandon "Chopper" Read, arguably Australia's most infamous former criminal. "Chopper" draws on police records, court transcripts, news coverage and interviews with people who knew Chopper Read.
