A Western?

This movie was set and made in Australia, I consider Western films to be set in the Old West as in the Southwestern United States, like that were made in Hollywood and Spagetthi Westerns (though filmed in Italy, but set in the United States.)

Where did the article it describe this as a "western"?

I do agree; so long as they are supposed to be pre-1910. And, Anywhere in the west; from California to about the Missouri river; anywhere there were cattle drives. Dodge City had its frontier days, too, remember? After 1910; they become "Zapata Westerns". The Old west had pretty much died out by 1893 or so. Except for a few anachronisms that describe themselves as the last days of aging gunmen or lawmen, like "The Shootist" or "Big Jake".68.231.189.108 (talk) 14:22, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Australian film

the film falls under the category of Australian film and yet it's a British film about and shot in Australia. Should this category include such films?Donmike10 (talk) 22:49, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1970 film was NOT the second Ned Kelly feature film

The opening line of the article on the 1970 Ned Kelly film states that

"It was the second Australian feature film version of the story of 19th century Australian bushranger Ned Kelly".

There were several earlier feature length films about Ned Kelly, most of them actually Australian (the 1970 film was British). Compare the 1970 claim with a more believable 1920 Wiki-claim about another Australian feature length film The Kelly Gang ...

"The film was released in 1920, and is the second film to be based on the life of Ned Kelly, the first being The Story of the Kelly Gang, released in 1906".

If an accurate count needs to be kept, then further research is needed, but the film "The Stringybark Massacre" made before 1970 is at least the fourth such Australian feature film. IMDB suggests there may have been more films, perhaps making Mick Jagger the seventh Ned Kelly. I am certain that this is not the second Australian feature length Ned Kelly film, so such a claim should at least just be removed. ChrisJBenson (talk) 00:14, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
