Synopsis:

Reviled by the critics. Adored by fair-dinkum Aussies. In this fan-bloody-tastic classic, Australia's favourite wild colonial boy, Barry McKenzie, journeys to the old country accompanied by his Aunt Edna Everage to take a Captain Cook and further his cultural and intellectual education. Faster than a rat up a drainpipe, Bazza heads for Earls Court to catch up with a bonzer bunch of ex-pat bastards and from there rampages through London, cracking tubes, parking the tiger, pointing percy, flashing the nasty and handing out knuckle sandwiches to the unsuspecting Poms, who wouldn't even know a tram was up 'em 'till the bell rang. Barry Humphries, Barry Cocker, Spike Milligan and Peter Cook star in this groundbreaking flick that captured Bazza's celebrated yawn in glorious technicolor and put the Oz fillum industry on the map! Umbrella Entertainment is patriotically proud to present THE ADVENTURES OF BARRY McKENZIE splashing across the screen UNCUT, UNCENSORED and in WIDESCREEN for the first time in over 35 years. You beauty.

The popular Australian comic strip The Wonderful World of Barry McKenzie was first brought to the screen in this raunchy 1972 romp. Barry Crocker plays the title character, a carefree Aussie cowboy with an inordinate fondness for beer and 'Sheilas'. Touring England as a stand-up comic, Barry runs across several odd characters, including addlepated discipline freak Dennis Price. Also on hand is Barry McKenzie cocreator Barry Humphries, appearing in drag as Dame Edna Beveridge, a character who would bring Humphries worldwide fame and fortune in the 1990s. Director Bruce Beresford, who went on to such loftier efforts as Breaker Morant, Tender Mercies and Crimes of the Heart, breezes through his scatalogical material with the abandon of a schoolboy scribbling naughty words on the sidewalk.

In this fan-bloody-tastic Australian film classic, wild colonial boy Barry McKenzie journeys to the old country with Aunt Edna Everage, and embarks on a Fosters-fuelled rampage through London. Barry Humphries, Barry Crocker, Spike Milligan and Peter Cook star in this groundbreaking flick that put the Oz film industry on the map! Presented uncut, uncensored and in widescreen. You beauty!
