About
A road movie with a heart of gold, Mark II is "the Polynesian Easy Rider". Three teens (Nicholas Rogers, Mitchell Manuel, Faifua Amiga) head south from Auckland in a two-tone Mark II Zephyr, two of them blissfully unaware they're being pursued by a van-load of vengeful thugs. Along the way, they encounter the Mongrel Mob, who turn out to be quite helpful, and experience love, prejudice and jealousy from strangers. Written by Mike Walker and Manuel, it was TVNZ's first telefeature and is the third film in a loose trilogy (following Kingi's Story and Kingpin).

Original 1986 Evening Post caption:
"TVNZ's first ever telefeature is coming! Mark II is about three young Polynesian men - Matthew (Junior Amiga, standing), Kingi (Mitchell Manuel, sitting left), and Eddie (Nicholas Rogers) who buy a shiny Zephyr and travel the length of the North Island. But living out their fantasy can have nightmarish aspects."
