I hated this movie the first time I saw it. I was taken to see it by my Mum and StepPop, and couldnt see the point way back then.
I love it now.
That would have been an 'outside the square' kind of movie to make back then, and no doubt no box office records were broken.
Well done to all that stepped out the square way back then.
Glad they did.

I was surprised to watch the scene with Kiri Te Kanawa. I was one of the children in the scene. In the original version there was at least a 30 second close up of my face watching Kiri sing and also my sister had a line "Sing for us Kiri." This scene has obviously been edited. I don't remember the shots of the two children at the end. On the night it was filmed there was a mixture of Maori and Pakeha children. What happened to the Pakeha children?

That was old. My mums from rotorua. I was born in 65.
Thats what she used to dress like. Was good to see Howie when
he was young. Quite handsome too.
Sad to hear about his passing.
Haere Ra Howard.

This was absolutely fantastic! Thankyou to who ever made it possible to watch the entire movie here for free, you've allowed a flood of memories rush back! I vaguely remember seeing posters around advertising this movie, and I think my brother bought the soundtrack but I definatly had 'Don't Let It Get You' as a single by Howie... What a great time capsule! Much love., Cameron
