Goodbye Pork Pie, Hello New Stolen Girlfriend’s Club Jacket
Old recipe, new flavour
If you're a kiwi you should remember the classic flick: 'Goodbye Pork Pie'. If you were too young to remember seeing it at the movies, then chances are you remember it being used as an example in media studies, film classes or the famous remake Rhombus did. You see, the car chase scenes are special. Not just good chase scenes by New Zealand film standards, but by international standards too. Two of the more famous scenes are the great blondini driving his '78 Mini onto a moving train and in the infamous Lake Hawea police chase.
The great New Zealand film made a comeback today with MINI New Zealand releasing its remake of the film's iconic Lake Hawea chase scene. The scene, which features a number of 'new originals' including a new Director, new cast and the all new MINI Hatch in place of the original 1978 model, has been created to celebrate the launch of the new model released to the New Zealand market in April.
Matt Murphy, son of the original director Geoff Murphy, has directed the remake. In responding to what he believes his father might think of the remade scene, Murphy says, "My father knows of the project. You'll have to ask him what he thinks, but I'd say he's chuffed that the Pork Pie story still generates a significant following.
